TALK

Olfactory Design: Back to the Future?

In conjunction with the exhibition Memo. Remembering the Futures and on the occasion of Paris Design Week, the Fondation Martell and Nez magazine are organizing the talk “Olfactory Design: Back to the Future?”

The sense of smell, a quintessential sense of memory and a vector of ecological sensitivity, has a special role to play in the Anthropocene era. This round table brings together designer Alexis Foiny alongside Sandra Barré (art critic, exhibition curator, and researcher), Clara Muller (art history researcher and independent exhibition curator), and Margaux Le Paih Guérin (perfumer) to discuss how scents and perfumes are powerful mediums, capable of inviting us to forge a new relationship with the living world, stimulating our reflection… and encouraging us to act for the future.

Friday, September 5 at 5 PM

Auditorium Patrick Ricard – 5 Cours Paul Ricard, 75008 Paris
