A daughter’s question becomes a mirror for a country covered in flags. Red Cross reflects on how nationalism enters the everyday — unnoticed, unchallenged, and often unspoken — through the eyes of a child.

It began on an ordinary walk to violin lessons — where flags appeared overnight, turning the city into something unrecognizable.

St. George’s crosses — painted on bus stops, utility boxes, doors — turned public infrastructure into quiet borders.

Filmed days after the Unite the Kingdom marches, Red Cross documents how nationalist symbols migrated from stadiums to street corners, recoding the mundane as menace.

At the center is a child: the artist’s daughter, walking with her violin through a landscape increasingly marked by hostility. Her innocence meets the repetition of the cross — the Black body against the heat of a rising English nationalism.

This is not staged.
This is what Britain looked like that week.
A live archive captured before it could be cleaned, forgotten, or made politically convenient.
