Finish Flag - Jarr waving the 'finish flag' he brought for the resistance archive Jesse Verdonk

Jarr Geelings from Nuit Blanche dropped by with a HUGE flag. To be exact: a finish flag which was being used to end Nuit Blanche's night festival. From 7 pm till 7 am you could immerse yourself in cultural events all over town (check out a nicely illustrated report and video here).

The black and white rectangles of the flag contain words about issues of both small and large degrees of importance; malaria, floodings, dog shit. Issues we'd rather see finished (hence the 'finish' flag) and ones that we definitely should try to free ourselves from.

Read more about the 'finish' flag here. And don't forget to drop by to add your own little piece of resistance.
