Description

Why do we all know the Confederate Battle Flag and not the Confederate Flag of Truce?

This artist edition print continues the conversation that Sonya Clark first began during her FWM residency in 2019. Produced in a limited edition of 1865—the year of the Confederate surrender— “Confederate Truce Flag (monumental dishtowel)” raises the forgotten rag that signaled the end of the American Civil War and the eventual end of slavery in the US.

Sonya Clark, in collaboration with The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia.

Digital print on linen-cotton
18 x 36 inches
Edition of 1865
