PROJECT   Alternative Response: One Year After
       
PARTICIPANT   Kelly Dennis
     
LOCATION   Across the USA
     
REQUEST   Displaying the American flag is pretty ubiquitous across the country right now, from cars, windows, and private homes, to corporations, freeway overpasses, and lemonade stands, and I imagine that as we approach the one year anniversary of September 11 such displays might intensify. What I'd like to see is photographic documentation of alternative or counter-expressions of patriotism, be they the American flag juxtaposed to other national flags or, better, displays of cultural and ethnic national pride that do not involve the American flag nor indeed any other militaristic or xenophobic exhibition. Evidence of patriotism through pacifism or celebration of regional communities across the country would be especially interesting.
