Collaboration  |  Special Event So So Summer 2022 After-Work at Pomhouse!

Place:
Waassertuerm+Pomhouse - 1b, rue du Centenaire , L-3475 Dudelange, Luxembourg
Dates:
From 28.07.2022 at 19:00
to 01.09.2022 at 23:00

"So So Summer" is a project developed by the Centre national de l'audiovisuel (CNA) in order to promote its archival collection and highlight the richness of Luxembourg's audiovisual heritage. Since the first edition in 2013, the event has become more transversal and multimedia in its approach and has taken on more of an “after-work” character. The special setting of ‘Waassertuerm + Pomhouse’ with its idyllic terrace contributes greatly to the relaxed and summery atmosphere of 'So So Summer’.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the exhibition space 'Waassertuerm+Pomhouse', this year's edition is dedicated to ‘Souvenirs de Dudelange’ (Memories of Dudelange) – in homage to the former industrial site and its workers. Reminiscences of a time when Dudelange was hailed as the ‘Forge du Sud’. As for the last editions, the keyword for So So Summer 2022 is "collaboration". For the 2022 edition, the CNA has thus decided to perpetuate its partnership with the city of Dudelange and standart creative studio.

Every Thursday from July 28 to September 1 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., we invite the public to come and enjoy the exceptional setting of Pomhouse where they can discover a selection of images from the CNA archives as well as the exhibition 'Stëmme vun der Schmelz ' in a festive atmosphere with good tunes and delicious food created by Rucolino.
