Andy Li’s poetic textile artworks—flags, banners, and canvases featuring humorous, relatable, and sincere slogans—reflect the artist’s belief in art’s ability to connect people through shared human experiences. 

Exemplifying Andy Li’s focus on the power of now, Today is The Day is an interactive installation that invites visitors to find cause for celebration in their everyday life and proudly uplift it. Flying up top on the main flag, “Today is The Day” serves as a beacon and prompt for reflection. Below, a pulley system displays 12 smaller flags, each appliquéd with different everyday achievements, allowing one to choose how to finish the sentence on the top flag. The act of raising and lowering flags was inspired by the Boston Navy Yard’s military ceremonies, reimagining the formal act into a playful, unifying gesture. The flags will be rotated out throughout the exhibition with slogans collected via a digital campaign, culminating in an archive of the small but mighty accomplishments that make us all human.
