5th Experimental Scent Summit
June 6, 2024
Casa do Alentejo, Lisbon, Portugal
The Experimental Scent Summit is an ongoing program produced by the Institute for Art and Olfaction (Los Angeles) and Smell Lab (Berlin). A non-for-profit venture, ESS is designed to build community and learning in creative practices with scent. Through informal talks, round tables and workshops, practitioners can share experimental work in an open and unrestrained environment that facilitates collaboration and inquiry.
ESS 2024 is being co-curated by Klara Ravat and Saskia Wilson-Brown, with Julianne Lee and Miguel Matos.
