How a lonely kid found kinship in the Rainbow Flag | UNIQLO ARTSPEAKS

We take a closer look at the history of Gilbert Baker’s original design of the “Rainbow Flag,“ and how it stands as an enduring symbol of hope. “One of the things that you can read from the flag is that it’s from nature, and there’s nothing unnatural about being queer,“ MoMA educator George Benson explains. “I always say to people that queer history is as old as human history because we’ve never not been here. And when you’re feeling quite isolated and alone, this flag is a beacon.“ Subscribe for our latest videos, and invitations to live events: Explore our collection online: Plan your visit in-person: Commit to art and ideas.
