Kolla Festival @ Schluechthaus

Kolla Festival, a small-scale music and arts open air celebrating sustainability and community in the heart of Luxembourg. Join us for an unforgettable weekend of live music, thrilling activities, local food and drinks, and so much more!

Kolla was born from a recognition that festivals could do more than entertain – they could transform. In a world rushing toward disposable consumption, a small group envisioned a different path. “Kolla,” derived from “collaborative consumption,” wasn’t just a name but a manifesto: a declaration that we could share more and waste less while celebrating creativity.

Kolla asbl aims to offer people creative, alternative, and sustainable ways of living through cultural events. We strive to create a platform where different groups—such as associations, artists, and the public—can connect and build stronger relationships within Luxembourg and the surrounding regions. To achieve these goals, we organize various events like concerts, art exhibitions, workshops, and discussions.

Location: Schluechthaus, 1111 Hollerich, Luxembourg

Expect a night full of Crazy Cinématographe film screenings, live pianists with energy to spare, and of course, food and drinks to keep us all emotionally fuelled for this heartfelt farewell.

Freak shows, burlesque stunts, and incredible acts: early cinema was a crossroads of attractions and curiosities. The famous Crazy Cinématographe, launched by the Cinémathèque between 2007 and 2011 at the Schueberfouer, takes you on an extravagant journey into the exuberant childhood of cinema during this closing night. It captures all the old-fashioned charm of the cinematograph and its “living photographs,” with magical enchantments for young and old alike and daring, flirtatious screenings at the end of the evening.

Together with interdisciplinary artist and photographer Anna Krieps, participants are invited to explore the intersection of photography and embroidery. Using our photographic portraits taken by Anna Krieps as a starting point, we will add new visual and narrative layers through the use of thread and needle.

This experimental session with Anna introduces various embroidery techniques applied directly to the image, with the aim of creating original compositions that combine graphic elements, textures, and manual interventions.

By bridging contemporary artistic practices with traditional craftsmanship, the workshop proposes the development of unique analogue “filters” and offers a space for creative exploration and reflection on the hybrid image, its transformation, and personal reinterpretation.

Location: Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain. 41, rue Notre-Dame, L-2240 Luxembourg

Mudam invites you to an intergenerational, multidisciplinary workshop that brings together linocut and clay in a space of exploration, play and exchange.

Artists Léa and Dijana present a collection of hand-carved stamps depicting symbols, patterns and signs, drawn from their personal mythologies and visual worlds. Participants will have the opportunity to use these prints and create their own ones, inspired by memories, imagined stories or dreams.  Together, they will create a collective mind map; a visual collage of stories written in colour, touch and impression.

Every print carries a story, and every story has its place. From this premise, the aim of the workshop is to inspire creativity, as well as to foster shared experiences and connections through the artistic process.

Léa Valet is a multidisciplinary artist whose preferred mediums are ink drawing, engraving and micro-publishing, but she also enjoys expanding her universe through various formats.For several years, she has been developing an artistic practice centered around themes of bestiaries and cabinets of curiosities. Her work is divided between creating illustrations and offering graphic workshops, such as engraving initiation, graphic design and micro-publishing creation.

Dijana Engelmann is a visual artist whose practice explores the relationship between material, memory, and narrative, often working with clay and participatory formats. She graduated in sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Split. Rooted in sculpture and expanded through installations and collective processes, her work engages with embodied experience, the poetics of place, and issues of identity and displacement. Using local materials such as clay from southern Luxembourg, she creates connections between environment, memory, and transformation. Her projects include site-specific Installations, material research, and community workshops that activate shared spaces through artistic exchange. Drawing on personal experiences of migration and living in multicultural environments, she investigates the fragile relationships between real and Imagined spaces. Engelmann has exhibited in Croatia, Luxembourg, and Germany, and regularly leads educational and collaborative workshops in partnership with institutions such as Konschthal Esch and local schools. She will participate in the Bridderhaus residency in Esch-sur-Alzette in autumn 2025. She lives and works between Luxembourg and Croatia.

Protect the right to protest @ ROCAS

Megaphone is an autonomous platform dedicated to bringing an alternative approach to activist spaces and movements in Luxembourg and that gives a voice to people who are ignored in existing movements.

We want to offer an alternative to institutions, political parties, for-profit organizations and those that are funded by private companies. It is not our intention to oppose existing events but to offer alternative opportunities to get active and represent the broad and colourful spectrum that makes our community.

A grassroots, community-based approach centered on common ground, solidarity and mutual aid is at the heart of our philosophy. We are aware and critical of power dynamics, systematic dominance and oppression - and of how power is abused not just to harm human beings, but also animals and all of nature.

Location: Rocas, 33 Rue des Capucins, 1313 Ville-Haute Luxembourg

This two-part workshop invites participants to tune into the ecological and mythic layers of place through foraging, sound and collective listening.

In the first session, participants take an explorative walk through Parc des Trois Glands, tracing fungal networks, herbs and so-called weeds - resilient witnesses of soil, climate and urban change. Through touching, tasting, recording and listening, participants engage in embodied practices of environmental sensing, while a live audio stream connects this fieldwork to the museum.

The second session unfolds at Mudam, where participants gather to share tea brewed from foraged herbs and listen together to the park’s soundscape. Field recordings and drawing materials become tools for expression beyond language. Artist pantea live-mixes these layers into a sensorial composition, closing with a moment of shared reflection.

Blending fieldwork with poetic practice, this workshop offers a way of listening differently - to each other, to place, and to the more-than-human world.

pantea (she/they) is an artist engaging with narratives of ecological and more-than-human connection. Her work has incorporated creative writing, walking, performance, film, radio, and music. They are co-facilitating Khamoosh, a transdisciplinary community dedicated to preserving and archiving Iranian sonic heritage, and co-directing Associació So in collaboration with Soundcamp Cooperative. They are a member of the Radio Web MACBA working group, and one half of the audiovisual design group Studio Informal. pantea is learning about socially-engaged practice and community-based work by exploring possibilities brought about by listening. She is passionate about wetlands and plants, and is currently studying a practice-based PhD in Music at St George's, University of London. She has works performed and exhibited internationally. Associació So (Sound Association) is a new sound art collaborative based in Catalunya. It brings together work by the Soundcamp Cooperative and pantea.

The term “menopause” first appeared in France in the early 19th century. Today, we are led to question the real objectives of characterizing menopause. Indeed, there is a side to menopause that lies outside the scope of the clinical definition, consisting of political, economic, and above all symbolic issues in terms of gender.

This conference is being held as part of Aline Bouvy's Hot Flashes exhibition at the Casino Luxembourg.

How to Say Babylon is a stunning memoir of familial dysfunction centered on the author, Safiya Sinclair, living in Jamaica under the rule of her authoritarian father. He was a reggae musician and militant adherent to a strict Rastafarism. He worried that womanhood would make Safiya and her sisters morally weak and impure, and believed a woman’s highest virtue was her obedience.

Safiya Sinclair will try to find her own voice as a woman and poet.

Born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Safiya Sinclair is famous for poems which have appeared in Poetry, the Kenyon Review, Boston Review, Gulf Coast, the Gettysburg Review, Prairie Schooner, and elsewhere.

The Panafro book club is set up to encourage people from the African, Caribbean and Afro - American community to discuss monthly african descent Literature. Luxembourg being a melting-pot, the club is open to all languages and all cultures are welcomed.
