🌟Our upcoming special event "Through the Lens of Anne & Valentin" with Hugo House explores the key artistic and literary influences on Parisian eyewear brand Anne et Valentin. Join us for a chic evening of French poetry, art, and worldclass artisanship!
Our Executive Director Otilia Baraboi will read poems in French and English from Boris Vian's 1962 collection "Je voudrais pas crever" (translation by Maria Freij). Let yourself be swept up in the jazzy verses of this iconic writer, one of the influences on Anne & Valentin's eye-catching design.
