From 2022, I insist on a "Neutral Flag" policy for creative communities (primarily women) located in countries such as Russia, Cuba, Syria, Iran and other territories under sanctions. At the moment, residents of these territories are practically deprived of the opportunity to participate in significant conferences and architectural and design competitions. I consider this policy to be blatantly discriminatory, especially against the backdrop of sports influencers who perform under a neutral flag without problem. The right to express one's opinion creatively and especially creative protest is an inalienable right of any person, regardless of the territory and the regime in that territory. In my opinion, I have a simple solution to this issue, which can become a precedent.
