The Indonesian Artist Arahmaiani Feisal gave students in Passau the chance to be a part of one of her Art projects.
In 2006 she created the Flag Project as a mean of encouraging dialogue and re-building community. In a series of community-based performances different key words have been inscribed on flags and waved about in public spaces. This work started with one flag of Yani's design with the Arabic-derived Indonesian word "akal "- meaning 'sense' or 'cunning'. Working with community groups in Australia, Europe and Asia she has created dozens of flags. Spaces include Sydney's Hyde Park and a park next to Borobudur. The Flag Project is designed to create and maintain a network that enables the exchange of ideas and experiences and to study and implement collective creativity.
Students who took part in the seminar “Art and Science or the Extraordinary of Everyday Life” were part of the flag performance which took place in Schärding (Austria) as well as on an old traditional wooden boat which was in the past used for transporting salt on the river Inn.
