About the Flag:
This pennant flag features photos of immigrant plant life growing across Philadelphia. These plants, once new to the area, now thrive in the city—just like the many people who have made Philly their home. Through these images, Adrian highlights how both plants and people adapt, grow, and become part of the city’s story.
About Artist:
Adrian Adams Jr. was born in Camden, New Jersey, and grew up between Camden and North Philadelphia. A self-taught photographer, his work is shaped by his West Indian roots and early experiences traveling to Antigua for Carnival. These trips introduced him to Caribbean culture, storytelling, and tradition, which continue to inspire his photography and connect his work to a broader Black cultural identity.
