Exhibitions
The flags exhibited on the historic walls of Cercle Cité on the side of rue Genistre and rue du Curé, are a selection of flags from the 2021 and 2022 editions of the What the Flag?! project that is organized by Greylight Projects and takes place annually in the city of Heerlen (NL) and in contemporary art venues of the Very Contemporary network in the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. Selected by the curators Wouter Huis and Anastasia Chaguidouline, these contributions illustrate the diversity of the responses to the medium of the flag, as well as showcasing Dutch, German, Belgian and French artists and designers. Showing this selective archive at Cercle Cité, next to a new contribution by Luxembourgish artist Julien Hübsch, sets this venue as the point of departure to discover the newly commissioned flags by Luxembourgish artists and designers throughout the city of Luxembourg and partner institutions of European Design Festival 2023.

In the context of the European Design Festival 2023, Cercle Cité in collaboration with Greylight Projects (Heerlen, NL) proposes an off-site exhibition What the Flag?! in Luxembourg.
The flags, works by invited Luxembourgish artists and designers, are mixed with existing artists’ flags, which are part of the archive of the What the Flag?! project. The artists and designers are invited to respond from their own work and vision of the medium “flag” within the context of the location in which they are shown.
The flags are placed between the central locations of the European Design Festival 2023 in the city of Luxembourg forming a route that the public can follow with the help of a map.
