“We’re not tearing the flag, we’re unraveling it.” — Art Professor Sonya Clark describing her 2018 performance piece Unraveling, in which she and audience members would pull apart a Confederate flag thread by thread.
Note: The title of the work was very specific choice of hers, she told Vice at the time: “‘Unraveling’ to me is about an investigation about the history of the Confederacy, the history of slavery, and the history of the oppression of people of African descent that is so deeply embedded in the fabric of our nation. The goal isn't to destroy the flag, but to investigate what it means to take it apart.”
