The WaterWalls project, an open-air art installation trail based on the principles of the circular economy, is returning to Esch-sur-Sûre from 8 June to 8 September 2024.

This year's programme will highlight four autonomous, participatory artistic installations, set up along the dams downstream of the Grand Barrage along the Sûre Valley.

The WaterWalls project celebrates contemporary art while promoting the values of the circular economy and community participation. The installations presented, created in collaboration with national and international artists, embody this event's commitment to sustainable and responsible creativity.

The artistic installations, designed to raise awareness and inspire reflection, will offer visitors an immersive experience which explores the themes of the preciousness of natural resources such as water, responsible consumption, ecological transformation and harmonious coexistence with the environment.

Beyond its artistic aspect, WaterWalls is committed to actively involving the local community. Educational and participatory projects are planned for each installation, offering residents the opportunity to get involved in creation and the artistic process.

The WaterWalls organising team and the municipality of Esch-sur-Sûre have pledged to guarantee the environmental sustainability of the event. All activities will be carried out in accordance with the principles of the circular economy in order to minimise the ecological impact of the event and preserve the natural beauty of the region.

WaterWalls 2024 will open its doors at midday on Saturday 8 June. On the agenda (12:00-20:00) are official speeches and presentation of the projects followed by the "Belgican Rhapsody" show by Max Vandervorst and the "Professor Aqua-Wass" show by Lex Gillen. Family workshops, such as "Phonoscopes" with Hadrien Vénat and "Coulage de Sucre" with Mathilde Caylou, will offer opportunities for creation and artistic discovery for all ages.

In collaboration with the Upper Sûre Nature Park, a range of activities will also be offered, from observing water under a microscope to discovering how dams work, providing an educational perspective on the environmental issues of the region.
