Experience graffiti and contemporary creation at the Viandalism exhibit!
It’s Friday, it’s a holiday, and you’re wondering what to do with all your free time in the capital? Head over to the 16th (yes, you read that right) for an exhibition featuring the works of 40 street-art and contemporary artists. For just a few days, the Viandalism exhibit is setting up at the Mona Bismarck hotel on Avenue de New York, a beautiful 19th-century building with a lovely private garden of 400 m² and pleasantly elegant decor. It’s a stunning contrast to the artworks on display!

We're visiting the Voltaire Consulate for its new exhibition
In addition to all the shows and concerts, the Voltaire Consulate invites us to explore a sensitive and poetic exhibition until May 13. What's on the menu? Works that delve into the concept of reference, both intimate, emotional, and physical, hinting at home as a refuge, a place of memory, that we either leave behind or lose. Neither entirely lost, nor completely found takes us through inner landscapes, memories, and transitions.
