The Flower Carpet is a biennial event in Brussels in which volunteers from around Belgium convene at the Grand Place, the historic centre of the city, to weave a carpet-like tapestry out of colorful begonias.[1] The event takes place every other August, coordinating with Assumption Day.[2] Nearly a million flowers are required to create the ephemeral {{convert|1800|m²|abbr=off}} carpet.[3]

History

Landscape architect E. Stautemans initiated the first Flower Carpet in 1971.[4] The year 1986 was the turning point in the holding of this event, which until then had not been regular. The Tapis de Fleurs de Bruxelles Association was then created at the initiative of the City of Brussels in cooperation with the Province de Brabant and Les Franc-Bourgeois (a central Brussels traders’ association). The new association laid down the regulations; the event was to be held every two years, for 3 to 4 days on the weekend of 15th August and could be enhanced by sound and lighting, fireworks, a jazz concert and other traditional folk entertainments. [5] The tapestry always exhibits begonias, one of Belgium's major exports since 1860.[6]

Themes

Each year of the Flower Carpet, organisers select a theme for inspiration.[2]

  • In 2008, the patterns were inspired by 18th-Century French designs and colours.[7]
  • In 2010, the designers of the tapestry honored Belgian Herman Van Rompuy, the first president of the European Union, with images of historic Belgian symbols alongside the European Union logo.[8]
  • In 2012, the carpet exhibited the colours of Africa, inspired by traditional fabrics and tribal costumes.[9]
  • In 2014, the city of Brussels paid tribute to the 50th anniversary of Turkish immigrants[3] by imitating the world-famous kilims.[10] Turks came to Belgium in 1964 when both countries signed a bilateral treaty welcoming immigrants during the economic boom.[10]
  • In 2016, the carpet displayed a Japanese design to celebrate 150 years of friendship between Belgium and Japan.[11]
  • In 2018, the carpet featured cultural elements from the state of Guanajuato, Mexico.[12] Including symbolism from the Chupícuaro, Otomí and Purépecha cultures.[13] In addition to the begonias, the carpet included dahlias,[12] the national flower of Mexico.
