Flag Zong

China Zong is a Chinese traditional handicraft with a history of more than 2,000 years. By adding some national flag elements, it has been reborn. By creating the patterns of flags from different countries, they become more international; I name them Flag Zongs.

I want to take this craftsmanship to others who love to create, teaching them how to make the unique Flag Zongs.

These are the goals I want to achieve:

Firstly, I will buy enough materials to make more Flag Zongs, which comes at the cost of $400. I am going to made about 200 different Flag Zongs from countries all around the world. At the same time, I will be filming the production process of each Flag Zong and editting these to include subtitles and audio instructions. This will be around 400 hours of time involved.

Secondly, I want to take the Flags Zongs to at least 10 exhibitions and post the films to social media channels such as Youtube and Facebook to buold the knowledge around Flag Zongs from all round the world.

My dream for this project is to have people from all around the globe making these traditional handicrafts and for the Flag Zong to become a popular craft.
