Helpers Needed for Vexilloid Project

Help your neighborhood to design its own flag!

First, we’d like to listen to your stories, and to hear the many voices of individuals and communities in your neighborhood. We also want to identify the creative individuals of the neighborhood: the artist and writers, poets, musicians, and crafts people of course, but also the unusual or overlooked eccentrics, the seamstresses, dancers, decorators, enthusiasts, activists and cartoonists. We want to talk to the historians, archivists and honored personalities, as well as troublesome renters, ‘tweens and teens, immigrants, and the homeless. We want as many different perspectives on the notion of “neighborhood identity” that we can get. We want to record the conversations and collect them into a document for public record. The flag will be designed by neighbors, and assisted when necessary from outside, using the documents gathered as a source. We need help in making this a neighborhood project. As many volunteers as possible are needed to gather stories, and collect responses to a few standard questions.
