PECHA CUCHA
A series of evenings brought to you by Ana Teixeira Pinto; followed by drinks and music. The attention span of an average adult is 20 minutes, and we do not intend to cross your threshold. Inspired by Pecha-Cucha evenings, each speaker will present his or her topic of choice in only 15 minutes.
PERFORMING BOOKS
The series Performing Books explores possible models to present, introduce and/or talk about books. The evenings attempt circumventing the recount or mere doubling of the respective book’s content and intentions. The book here is used as an object or starting point from which to traverse individual experiences to engage in a discussion with the audience.
Gunter Reski

LOVE AND SPACE
In its first year, Salon Populaire followed two thematic threads, which evolved from the composition of the project itself.

Out of this, we developed preliminary […]
