The Free Flag was exhibited in This Side of Paradise, curated by No Longer Empty.
It was created as a symbol for aspiring global citizens who have an overarching loyalty to the planet rather than to a specific territory. It stands for those who yearn to be free.

The Free Flag was also the backdrop for a live "Free Mix" by DJ Lightbolt for the opening party of the 2014 Art in Odd Places Festival, which had the theme of "Free."

This work was also the inspiration for The Free Flag Anthem, written by Nicky Enright in 2024 and published by the Brooklyn Public Library and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in the book Anthem to US (2025).
