This exhibition delves into the rich variety of Limburg's banners and flags. Banners and flags served not only as symbols of identity and pride, but also reflected the cultural, economic, social, and artistic influences of their time.
They were used by marching bands, trade unions, and churches, offering a visual narrative of historical periods. The banners are adorned with intricate symbols and patterns that reflect the community life of their era. Flags from trade and professional associations illustrate the rise of labor movements, while churches used banners to reinforce their religious influence and sense of community.
For this exhibition, Bureau Europa collaborates with Tracé – Limburg’s Social Archive, curator Doortje Lucassen, and Andrea Peeters.
