Lectures

Come for the subject. Stay for the room.

We host lectures on literature, painting, architecture, and the culture around them. Come on your own or with friends: the room is small enough to listen closely, ask questions, and let one glass turn into a longer conversation.

No classroom posture: a speaker, a table, a few references, and people who want to think together without making the evening heavy.

The format

One subject, one evening, no performance of seriousness.

Literature

Writers, cities, memory, translation, and the private rituals around reading.

Painting

How to look longer: composition, surface, gesture, and the social life of images.

Architecture

Rooms, streets, facades, and why a place can change the way people speak.
