Maya Likembe is the name of the musical project and band created by Luxembourgish singer-songwriter and composer Mary-Ann Meiers (born in Luxembourg, 1976).

The band’s name is a fusion of names referring to an Indian goddess, an ancient American civilisation and an African musical instrument. Its musical language and vocals are rooted in jazz but incorporate influences from Latin, world and soul music: “a blend of jazz with Latin, African, and soul influences, characterised by its unique and melodic nature”.

The themes and lyrics of the songs invite the listener on a magical journey, depicting surreal people, places and situations yet searching for a deeper sense, hope and love behind the apparently iconoclastic sceneries.

The band has featured a diverse range of musicians from various cultural backgrounds. Their releases included the single Ardent Traveller and the EP Spirituality Is the Beginning.

The next will be the digital and vinyl release of the single Wake Sleeping Beauty in October. Maya Likembe performs regularly in different venues in Luxembourg.

Current members of the band are Willian Fernandes (Brazil), Tanja Silcher (Germany), Amit Dhuri (India) and Frank Hemmerle (France).

Fulvia Monguzzi (Italy, 1985), in art Miss Goffetown, is an Italian artist based in Milan and trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.
Her work, ranging from collage to acrylics, stands out for its ironic yet dramatic approach, exploring themes such as love, sensuality, and everyday life with a sensitive and poetic visual language.
Serious yet playful, always curious about the world around her, Fulvia paints scenes in which we can all see ourselves. The absence of facial details emphasizes empathy and invites the viewer to fully immerse themselves in her subjects.
An intimate and attentive gaze, capable of capturing every aspect of reality, reassembles in Miss Goffetown’s work new systems of relationships between people, places, and objects.

The night is a white page

Stéphane Guiran and Katarzyna Kot presented their work at the Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire (France) as part of the 2022 art season. This encounter gave rise to a desire to embark on a path of joint creation, embracing the Symbiocene and offering a different perspective on the challenges we face with climate change. Their duo G&K envisions tomorrow as a new chapter opening up, offering the possibility of writing new pages, imagining new stories, and other ways of being in the world. 

Their meditative works are born from listening to the memory and fragility of the Great Living Beings of our planet (glaciers, forests, rivers, mountains…).

La nuit est une page blanche (The night is a white page) is their first creation. It brings together a series of works (sculptures, drawings, photographs, films, books, etc.) created or initiated on the Vatnajökull glacier in Iceland. Their offering of light in the heart of the night, at the time of the winter solstice, is a gesture of poetic resistance that explores new ways.

Jelena Bizel is a Serbian illustrator based in Luxemburg. Graduated in Graphic design at the Merz Academy in Stuttgart (Germany), she published her first book “Selbststigmatisierung” in 2014 where she expressed through illustrations and texts the psychological consequences of exclusion and integration of people in a community.

Her passion for psychology and sociology led Jelena to work on illustrations that reflect split personality within every human being. To express the multiplicity of one person, she developed a specific technic through the use of several layers of transparent paper in order to highlight different perspectives and emotions.

The exhibition displays an initial research on the process of awakening and transforming of women. The choice of paper is symbolic, invisible, untouchable, multi-layered, variable just like the character of a woman. Illustrations in several layers of transparent paper reflect the development and changes in the emotions of a woman, and the presence of flowers symbolizes beauty, change, awakening through which the woman passes through her life.

Sarah Boleslava is a Franco-Luxembourgish screenwriter and actress. She grew up in eastern France, in the region of the three borders (France, Luxembourg, and Germany). With an international background, she used her studies as an opportunity to explore different cultures across Asia and the Americas. Initially pursuing a career in the corporate world, she ultimately chose to leave everything behind to follow her true calling: cinema.
During her training as an actress, she discovered the power of letting go through an acting technique that profoundly changed her vision of the world and storytelling.
Her debut screenplay, L’Algorithme de l’Orgasme, is an intimate yet universal work that questions inner freedom and personal transformation.
With L’Algorithme de l’Orgasme, Sarah Boleslava tells the story of a woman seeking freedom but held back by her greatest antagonist: control.Like many, Annie has learned to rationalize everything, to try and control what cannot be controlled. This film is deeply personal to the writer. It took an accident for her to realize she had lost herself in her need for control. This film was born from that realization: learning to let go, to fully be herself. Annie, the central character, looks for a mathematical solution to her problem – she believes that if she can just “solve” it, she’ll be free. The sight of a Rubik’s cube alone makes her anxious: everything must have an answer. But her problem isn’t logical, it’s sensory. Her psychologist introduces her to an unexpected exercise, forcing her to feel rather than analyze. This exercise, inspired by acting techniques, profoundly impacted the writer, teaching her to be present and connected to others. L’Algorithme de l’Orgasme is an invitation to surrender. A tribute to womanhood, freedom, and living in the moment.
