The Hamsa Flag is designed to represent a vast, shifting, and hybrid community of many tribes and many nations, all emerging from a common elemental source. The hamsa has been worn and displayed as a spiritual emblem for hundreds, if not thousands, of years — by Jews, Muslims, and Christians; Arabs, Turks, and Kurds; and communities across the Balkans and North Africa.
The colors of the flag—turquoise and copper—together signify activation. When oxidized in water, copper creates the compound turquoise. In other words, copper is the source of the activated potential that is turquoise. The design of the flag suggests the potential for political, spiritual, and communal activation inherent within each of us.
The Hebrew and Arabic on the flag both translate to the phrase “Unity and Multiplicity.” Translation credit to Irene Siegel and Stav Palti.
Founded by Tom Haviv in 2014, the Hamsa Flag Project was born out of a belief that in order for a shared society to emerge in Israel | Palestine, we need a shared symbol. The project explores new symbols of peace, reconciliation, and justice — reflecting the shared history of Jews, Muslims, and Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa. These flags are not tied to any nation, but rather are symbols of hybridity and possibility, aiming to inspire a world beyond war.
