Remix Culture is the central theme of the European Capital of Culture Esch2022. With Luxembourg’s second largest city, Esch-sur-Alzette at its centre, Esch2022 comprises all the ProSud municipalities as well as the eight French Pays Haut Val d’Alzette (CCPHVA) municipalities. Esch2022 is inviting interested people and organisation to submit their cultural projects online at www.esch2022.lu.
Provided that the project takes place in the Esch2022 territory, any private person, association, municipality or institution wishing to carry out a cultural project within the framework of the European Capital of Culture is invited to submit it before 31 July.
The organizing committee says: « From a cultural point of view, the goal is to drive and develop the sector and artistic creation, while reaching the widest possible range of audiences and spectators. From a social and economic perspective, the purpose is obviously to highlight the cultural wealth of the territory and of its population, by mobilising their energies and creating new avenues for participation. »
The central theme of this call for projects is: Remix Culture. Based on the specific characteristics of the Esch2022 territory – the diversity of its population, cross-border flows, post-steel industry development, etc. – the remix is largely the result of a changing societal environment. The purpose of Esch2022 is to give new meanings and forms of innovative and creative expression to this transformation that is still under way.
« By contributing to one of the four lines of questioning defined, – namely Remix Europe, Remix Nature, Remix Yourself and Remix Art – each project will be able to contribute to a new vision of a Europe with no notion of borders, in this way highlighting the importance of diversity for Esch2022 and the entire continent. »
