“Shut The Flag Up” is our personal project about freedom of speech.

There are certain countries that are known for their lack of democracy. The bad practices of their government usually stick with their citizens in form of stereotypes, wherever they go around the world.

Not every North Korean cries for Kim Yong Un’s father.

Being Muslim does not make every Iranian supporter of sharia.

Pack of Internet memes of Vladamir Putin, do not make him the love of all the Russians.

To show those states are shutting their citizens’ mouths, we reached out to 3 people from 3 different countries. We made a series of photoshoots as if they have been tortured.
