We are actively preparing 2017, the sixth edition of the festival.
With the exhibition of Samuel Gratacap at the Mudam which opened already on February 10th, the “Month of Photography ” is ahead of its normal programming scheduled officially in April; But the framework programs of the institutions do not always allow a harmonization of all dates, especially when one considers that more than 20 institutions or galleries would be required to synchronize their programming. Sorry for this ..
Although a majority of exhibitions will be located again in the capital – mainly at the Mudam ( Museum of contemporary art) , the Casino Forum of Contemporary Art, the MnHA ( National Museum of Art an d History ) and the Cercle-Cité ( exhibition space of the City ) four other cities will play an important role when it comes to photography in Luxembourg: Dudelange, Clervaux and a newcomer the city of Ettelbruck and its exhibition space CAP Art center
The decision of the Ministry of Culture to install the CNA ( Centre nation de l’audiovisuel ) beginning of the nineties in Dudelange, about 20 minutes from the capital made of this institution a major player in photography. Is close to the Art Center of the city Nei Liicht Gallery with its director Danièle Igniti, who started curating contemporary photography back in the eighties.

An important aspect on the agenda of the most recent meeting with our partners of the EMOP group (European Month of Photography) last week in Bratislava in the House of Photography in Central Europe, was a strategic one. We were seeking for a better harmonization of the communication strategies of eight cities hosting a festival on photography. The proposals made by the design office C / O Berlin – working for our Berlin partner Kulturprojekte Berlin – have been adopted by all cities. Thus, in September Berlin, Bratislava, Budapest, Vienna will adopt a similar design for posters, catalogues and website. The new logo – which will be the same for all the festivals – will be placed next to the logo specific to each festival. Indeed, despite the need to show more coherence, it was not our intend to eliminate the characteristics of each city; some are organizing a festival for 25 years and more. Our aim was primarily to provide a better readability of photo festivals in Europe and to see the connections that are made between the various cities that work together now for 10 years.
