About the event
This event will be in English and will take place at the Alliance Française of Washington, DC.
This event is part of the Alliance Française's "Francophonie" series.
Did you know that Lebanon is part of the International Organisation of the Francophonie (OIF)? Many Lebanese speak French as a second language, including local artist Vian Shamounki Borchert. Having grown up in Beirut, the nearby sea created happy memories of her childhood, often reflected in her artistic inspirations.
Named one of “Top 10 Most Creative Artists of 2025,” Borchert’s art stands out by featuring many hues of blue, among other colors that reflect her Mediterranean memories.
Borchert will be in conversation with Executive Director Sarah Diligenti, who has traveled to Lebanon and enjoys experiencing Lebanese culture.
