Exclusively for Armenia Art Fair 2018 Vinke has produced a "Welcome Pennant" in the colours of the Armenian flag. Welcome Pennants are flown on Dutch flagpoles. They are a welcoming symbol. Dutch Parliament recognized the Armenian genocide in 2018, and Vinke's pennant is both part of this commemoration as well as a celebration of the first Armenian Art Fair. The pennant is part of a series “Welcome Pennants” which Vinke produced in colours of flags. The technique Vinke uses has been developed by herself. The pennant is cast freehand out of epoxy.
