Alam - on the Fleeting Nature of Symbols and Memory set in Israel-occupied Palestine

Share this Article What does a flag symbolize? Who decides the meaning conferred upon a flag as a nation’s symbol? Is its meaning confined to the meaning given to the colors or symbols that characterize it? Does its meaning alter based on where a flag is flown?
