Flower Union

As a part of this year’s Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union, nine young Czech artists and designers created decorations for two buildings in Brussels.

These artists decided to use their work to express the values that the European Union embodies for them and which they believe it should continue to embody in the future.

They also tried to highlight the idea of Europeanism rather than to simply present the Czech Republic as one of the member states.

Their collective project, as well as their individual endeavours, are linked by the concept of a community of plants sharing a single piece of soil,

thus also stressing the environmental agenda, which will reverberate strongly during the Czech Presidency.
