C²DH Innovating & Sharing History
"A Colônia Luxemburguesa" transmedia documentary
One hundred years ago, the Luxembourg-based steel giant ARBED – today ArcelorMittal – inaugurated its Brazilian subsidiary in the State of Minas Gerais. Hundreds of Luxembourgish migrants settled in João Monlevade to work at the plant, bringing their social and cultural mores with them. An innovative transmedia documentary traces the history of the city and its inhabitants as well as the links forged between Brazil and Luxembourg.
C²DH historian Dominique Santana and film producer Bernard Michaux (Samsa Films) spoke to Hanna Siemaszko, the producer of the SciLux podcast on science in Luxembourg, about their experiences of the “A Colônia Luxemburguesa” project, from the initial idea to the inauguration of the transmedia documentary.
This podcast was recorded in connection with the 2022 Annual Report of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), a University of Luxembourg research centre.
