Radio Art Zone is a 100-day art radio station for the European Capital of Culture Esch2022, which will be broadcast in the south of Luxembourg on 87.8 FM by Radio ARA. The schedule consists of two daily programs. On the one hand, newly commissioned 22-hour radio productions created by more than 100 international and local artists. Second, two-hour live broadcasts from a kitchen space, which can change location at will. The format of this show will be open, to allow natural discussions to develop between artists visiting Esch2022 and members of the public – the ice being broken by cooking together.
