Esch-sur-Alzette, the cross-border area in the south of Luxembourg, is in transformation: a former steel industry region will become a hub for future-oriented knowledge and innovative creativity. Esch2022 — European Capital of Culture invited Ars Electronica Export to be part of this transformation through curating an exhibition in the Möllerei. The exhibition will invite visitors to explore art as a tool for us humans to understand and envision the future. The show will be on view from September 3rd to November 27th 2022.
