Event tips from Luxembourg's cultural landscape for April and May: from exhibitions at the
Lëtzebuerg City Museum and Cercle Cité to film screenings at the Casino and the Cinémathèque
and the Light Leaks Festival in the Rotondes.
Film screening @ Casino
As part of his artist residency in Luxembourg, the artist Ludovic Hadjeras is showing a series of
films curated by the Algiers-based art gallery Rhizome. These include the documentary Toujours
Tout Droit (2023) by Anys Merhoum, which reports on the pilot project of neighbourhood
workshops in Algiers. The film places the residents at the centre of the narrative and thus paints a
picture of Algerian civil society. The film screening begins after sunset. Delicious snacks will also
be provided.

Guided tour @ Lëtzebuerg City Museum
The European elections are just around the corner and it is more important than ever to exercise
your right to vote to prevent a shift to the right. Because many populists are striving for a
supposedly "pure" Europe. The "Pure Europe" exhibition at the Lëtzebuerg City Museum contrasts
this rigid idea with historical and current aspects of actual diversity. The exhibition thus encourages
a critical examination of common clichés about Europe and challenges them. Every Sunday in April
there is a guided tour through the exhibition, which comes at just the right time just before the
elections.

Performance @ Mudam
As part of the current group exhibition "A Model" which explores the role of museums in
contemporary art, a performance will take place at regular intervals under the direction of Bob Kil.
The performers move through the corridors of Nina Beier's sculptural installation Field,
emphasising the contrast between the restlessness of the bodies and the stillness of the
surroundings. The performers thus enter into a symbiotic relationship with Beier's installation.

Exhibition @ Cercle Cité
In the course of his film career, Wang Bing has established himself as an astute observer. He is
particularly interested in the Chinese working class and society's outsiders. He captures their
everyday dramas with minimalist means. He approaches his subjects with great sensitivity and at
the same time maintains a confident distance. Although his documentary films are characterised by
harsh realism, they also have a poetic undertone. In the exhibition "Wang Bing: Memories" at the
Cercle Cité, he places personal memories in the context of the anti-rights campaign and the Cultural
Revolution in 20th-century China.
Free admission
Until Sunday, 14 April 2024, Cercle Cité

Film lecture @ Cinémathèque
The current exhibition in the Casino "Images at Work" shows experimental films that capture the
mechanics, manual routines and poetic experiences of work in old and new production facilities,
while at the same time exploring the history of their cinematic representation. Laura Lux, film
scholar and curator of the exhibition will give a lecture at the Cinémathèque on the legacy of the
Lumière brothers, the critique of their naturalistic representation of labour and their influence on
contemporary documentary practice, discussing films by Harun Farocki, Kevin Jerome Everson and
Sharon Lockhart.
Admission: 03,70 € (Reduced: 02,40 €)

detention centre find solace in their love for each other, How to Say I Love You at Night (2020) by
Andree Ljutica, which deals with male intimacy, sexuality and violence, and Valentine (2022) by
