The colourful symbols, medieval beasts, unaccustomed signs and fantastic chimeras that adorn flags and banners are the subject of heraldry, of vexillology.

As if slipping out of the fabric of eternally fluttering flags, heraldic symbols are used to tell stories, create myths and stage power: on emblematic battlefields, conflicts are waged and partnerships sealed. In their latest work, Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi explore the inexhaustible variety of heraldic imagery and the elaborate tradition of flag-waving.

The title giving exclamation ›ARA! ARA!‹ denotes in itself a bold heraldic image: the bird ARA, which is used as a symbol of rising power. This bird is however not a majestic, fearsome bird of prey like the eagle, but instead a much more harmless and seemingly amusing example – the parrot. An exotic iconic animal in Western eyes, this colourful linguistic acrobat represents in flag lore the desire for advancement. Much like the seductive nature of power, the parrot’s friendly and gregarious temperament tempts us to ignore the futility of repeating and imitating patterns of the past without reflecting on their outcomes or consequences.
