HENI is delighted to release Stars and Stripes, a series of five limited edition silkscreen prints by acclaimed artist and social historian Nicola Green. The prints are based on Green’s original, spray-painted, mixed-media collages, which serve as a celebration of how the impossible can be achieved when people come together. By focusing on single, expressive hand gestures, the works evoke the legacy of social movements across time and place.
The works are framed silkscreen prints on Somerset Satin Cotton. The edition size of each print is limited to 25 (plus 5 APs) and they are priced at $2,000 (plus applicable taxes). Each work measures 68 x 51 cm (framed) and is numbered and hand-signed on the front by the artist.
The artworks are available exclusively by application on HENI Editions from 15 May until 26 May at 17:00 BST.
This release has ended but it may be possible to buy/sell from other collectors on the secondary market.
Stars and Stripes serves as a celebration of how the impossible can be achieved when people come together; it serves as a call to reflect upon and recommit to the ideals of unity and equity. The five works present expressive hand gestures as symbols for social movements across time and place. Each work evokes a sense of hope and change, narrating the legacy of progress and inspiring its continuation.
The Stars and Stripes prints replicate original spray-painted, mixed-media collages. The prints were made using up to 15 individual screens to painstakingly replicate the textures and visual effects of the original works. Each print therefore retains the immediacy and vibrancy of wet paint, as though freshly applied, alongside the dynamism of the collage.
Nicola Green is a British artist and social historian who works at the intersection of contemporary visual storytelling and traditional portraiture. She is celebrated for her unique perspective that offers profound insights into the dynamics of legacy and representation, and how visual language can spark change. Green gained global recognition for her project In Seven Days... hailed by The Metropolitan Museum of Art as “an artistic and historic masterpiece”. For her project, Encounters, she depicted religious figures such as Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Green co-founded and directed the Diaspora Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale and founded the Khadija Saye Arts programme at IntoUniversity. Her work can be found in public collections, including The Obama Presidential Center, The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
"As a white mother to mixed-heritage children, I have thought deeply about how my family experiences the world in ways that differ from my own. For the last twenty years I have dedicated my practice to witnessing pivotal moments and documenting them for future generations around the world. I have created work that visually explores our individual and collective stories. I believe art has a unique capacity to speak beyond words."
- Nicola Green, Artist Statement, 2025
To coincide with the release, HENI Editions also presents Heirloom by Nicola Green, a Jacquard Woven Tapestry with 24k gold thread, made in an edition of 8 (plus 2 APS). Heirloom marks the debut of Green's iconic fist motif in tapestry form. The piece focuses on the raised fist as an enduring global symbol of strength and solidarity.

As Stars and Stripes is a limited-edition release, HENI tries to ensure that the prints are sold broadly and fairly (rather than on a ‘first come, first served’ basis). You can apply for multiple artworks from Stars and Stripes, however, HENI cannot guarantee that you will be offered the opportunity to buy every print you apply for.
During the application process it is possible to accept “alternative allocation”, which means you are willing to receive an alternative artwork of the same size and price if your original selection isn't available. Choosing “alternative allocation” may increase your chances of being successfully allocated.
Furthermore, if you selected the “No” to partial allocation during the application process, HENI will only satisfy your application if we are able to fulfil your entire application. If you selected “Yes” to partial allocation option during the application process, HENI may offer you the opportunity to purchase some of the editions you applied for, but not all. Choosing partial fulfilment may increase your chances of being successfully allocated. HENI will carefully review each application and aims to start notifying successful applicants over the coming weeks after the application period has closed.
HENI aims to dispatch all the artworks within two months of the close of the application window. Please note that the exact timing is subject to demand, production capacities and potential shipping delays. As soon as your order is ready to dispatch, you will receive an email confirmation with the tracking information.
