Leonor Cuahonte holds a doctorate in art history from the Sorbonne and specializes in Mexican modern and contemporary architecture. A curator and independent researcher, she has worked and taught in Mexico, France and Germany.
This lecture examines Frida Kahlo’s work through the Mexican Day of the Dead tradition, exploring themes of identity, memory and celebration.

Philippe Lüscher, reader, presents selected short prose by Robert Walser, drawn from pieces written between 1899 and 1920 and valued for their keen observation of everyday life.
The reading investigates Walser’s poetic attention to small encounters, solitary walks and the ordinary. Listeners will hear narratives that explore human presence, subtle emotions and the poetry beneath commonplace scenes. Context on Walser’s historical influence is evoked through selected passages.
