The Festival Des Migrations, Des Cultures et De La Citoyenneté celebrates its 40th edition this year. This morning Tom was joined by festival organiser Alain Randressy, head of One People ASBL, Madeleine Yougye and photographer, Paulo Lobo to talk about what the festival has in store this year.
This year the Festival Des Migrations will take place at Luxexpo on the 25th and 26th of February.
Each year the Festival Des Migrations attracts up to 30,000 people to celebrate cultural dialogue, exchange and creativity with a packed programme of performances, screenings, discussions, workshops and a food bazar featuring citizens from all over the world.
This year the theme of the festival is "residency" and the festival will feature work made by artists that have been invited to Luxembourg to create work in the context of the festival. With her ASBL one people Madeleine Yougye has been working with African refugees that have been affected by the conflict in the Ukraine to make a film based on their experiences. Meanwhile Paulo Lobo has been working with a group of photographers in residency to create a series of photos around the theme of surrealism.
The festival is free to attend and all information about the programme can be found at: festivaldesmigrations.lu/
