What does freedom mean? What colours and shapes represent it? On this ‘Sunday in the Nikolai Quarter’, individual flags of freedom are created from fabric, colourful paper and textile paints to mark Black History Month.
The event is inspired by the story of Harriet Tubman (1822–1913), a heroine of the African American community in the United States. During the American Civil War (1861–1865), she helped numerous enslaved people from the southern states escape to the northern states so that they could live in freedom. To facilitate secret communication during the escape, helpers are said to have made blankets whose patterns and colours conveyed important information that only enslaved people could decipher.
