The Native Flags project is a pioneering ecoart work in South Florida, taking its place in a worldwide art movement that is encouraging the fusion of culture with environmental stewardship.
Ecoart projects are distinguished from “regular” art works by their ameliorative interventions that occur in “nature,” and with “nature.”
The emphasis in ecoart is away from the focus on individual artistic intention and inspiration, and on collaboration across disciplines—artist to scientist to public official and beyond.
Ecoart also engages communities to address environmental problems directly, and in highly creative ways.
