Through the Zoom application, during wednesday in may, The French Alliance in Buenos Aires will carry out an online literature and architecture workshop on the famous writer Julio Cortázar.

These courses will be taught by the architect Agustina Lezcano and have two galleries as the setting: the Güemes Gallery in Buenos Aires and the Vivienne Gallery in Paris. Through these passages, the protagonist will be able to overcome time and space and move from one place to another.

We will return to the initial idea of ​​threshold and take a tour of everything learned in the workshop.
