The C\u00b2DH is carrying out a research project entitled FoMLEG<\/a> (The Legacy of The Family of Man)<\/em>. This project seeks to shed new light on Edward Steichen\u2019s iconic photographic exhibition by exploring its international tour during the Cold War (1955\u20131963) and its history in Luxembourg since 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of this research, we are gathering personal stories, memories, and experiences connected to The Family of Man<\/em>. Whether you visited the exhibition during its original world tour, encountered it in Clervaux, or feel a personal or cultural connection to its themes, your perspective matters to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We invite you to share:
\u2022 Personal recollections of visiting the exhibition
\u2022 Photographs, letters, or memorabilia related to the exhibition
\u2022 Reflections on how the exhibition shaped your view of photography, humanity, or cultural identity<\/p>\n\n\n\n
