Let yourself be guided by the voices of the Lusophone grandmothers from Esch-sur-Alzette for a unique and immersive city tour! What is LOVÓ? The term LOVÓ combines the words 'love' in English and 'avó' meaning grandmother in Portuguese, which refers to the memory of the grandmothers from the Portuguese and Cape Verdean community in Esch. Led by researchers Myriam Dalal and Thomas Cauvin from the University of Luxembourg, this project utilizes oral history and art to give voice to several Lusophone grandmothers residing in Esch-sur-Alzette, who have made this city their home. The grandmothers' testimonies will be highlighted through captivating audio-visual tours, consisting of light installations created by talented visual artists. These luminous works will be accompanied by audio excerpts from interviews with the grandmothers, providing intimate and moving insights into their stories and their impact on the culture of Esch-sur-Alzette. Their voices will guide visitors through nocturnal tours sprinkled with elements mentioned during the interviews and reinterpreted by artists. Join us in celebrating the voices of the Lusophone grandmothers from Esch-sur-Alzette and discover how they have shaped the city's identity over the past 50 years.
