Show Information
In 1921, Luxembourg-based steel giant Arbed set out to create a steel plan in south-eastern Brazil. An industry in its infancy, hundreds of skilled workers migrated from Luxembourg, settling in the João Monlevade municipality. Using archival records, interviews with former residents and workers, Santana’s transmedia project showcases the stories and people behind the newly formed industry to explore the history and impact of the Colônia Luxemburguesa.
