Safe Space Federation is a mentally driven campaign inviting individuals to build moments of peaceful excitement. It consists of a series of three installations, designed as abstractly defined spaces, where bypassers are given the opportunity to dive into a brief experience of safe space through suggestive visuals and ambient music. Each location (Schluechthaus, LUCA and Avenue de la Liberté) is built around three elements: a flag with a transformed image of one of Lagerkultur’s own souvenir doubled with a transparent sheet pushing people to project themselves, a marked area taking over the installation’s context and finally an ambient mixtape specifically curated by Richard Heinemann.

Through this fictive activist movement, the project aims at questioning the meaning of banner propaganda and relocating people in their individually defined safe space.

Luxembourg-based organisation Lagerkultur pursues the mission to set up experimental performance and exhibition spaces by interconnecting electronic music and visual arts. Throughout an interdisciplinary 4-year practice, the emerging collective managed to build a considerable network of local and international artists and carried out notable collaborations with cultural institutions, such as Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean, Casino Luxembourg or Rotondes Luxembourg.

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.
