Joint initiative with Portuguese artist Mariana Duarte Santos to create a new artwork in the district Lallange of the city Esch-sur-Alzette.
In the spring of 2022, Nuit de la Culture, Kulturfabrik and the HistorEsch team of the University of Luxembourg will work together to with the Portuguese artist Mariana Duarte Santos to create a new artwork in the district Lallange of the city Esch-sur-Alzette.
The fresco (mural painting) aims to tell the (hi)stories of the residents of the Lallange and Lankels neighborhood. To inspire the artist, we are collecting photo’s on through the Facebook group Fl’Esch Back and we will organise community meetings where residents and the artist can meet.
Everyone is welcome to join us for:
Walking tour Lallange (8 Febuary at 6pm)
We will take a walk together around Lallange to exchange stories and anecdotes about the neighborhood. There is no guide on this tour – the group is the expert! We will meet in front of the wall where the fresco will be created: 12 Cité Dr. Nicolas Schaeftgen in Lallange.
Community gathering (9 February starting at 5pm)
Meet the artist and exchange stories about the history of Lallange during this evening of activities and reminisce. Feel free to bring old photos, or come to see the collection about Lallange thus far. We are looking forward to hearing your personal stories. The evening will take place at the Salle Polyvalente of the Centre Omnisports Henri Schmitz, 34 Bd Hubert Clément, L-4064 Esch-sur-Alzette. This is a Covid-Check 2G+ event.
