100 Flags for the 100th Anniversary of Giving Voting Rights to Polish Women is a project crowning the initiative of a grassroots social and artistic movement. The idea for 100 Flags
was conceived as a reaction to the social situation in 2018, when a number of celebrations, marches, exhibitions, reconstructions and other initiatives referring to the centenary of Poland’s independence flooded the public sphere. The project assumed a basic purpose: to remind people about an equally significant, but at that time seemingly completely forgotten anniversary – the centenary of gaining voting rights by women, falling on 28 November 2018.
