This cemetery has the particularity of having its tombs decorated with wooden funerary stelae, naïve painted in bright colours, representing a scene from the life of the person buried, an activity or the causes of the death, accompanied by a poem, sometimes nostalgic, often humorous.
The project A joyful cemetery* for a NEW ERA (Goodbye to Patriarchy, Anthropocene and the Capitalism) is developed by the multidisciplinary artist Stefania Crisan as a celebration, during the SQUATFABRIK #4 residency in Esch-sur-Alzette Luxembourg// 26 August to 22 September 2024.
