An Evening with
The Red Silk Dress
The first Red Silk Salon:
A literary-cultural evening of story, art, and conversation.
In a city shaped by journeys and departures, this is a moment to pause and consider what calls us forward.
Tuesday 31st March
7:00 - 10:00 pm
In creative collaboration with
The Vintage Hotel & Spa
In artistic collaboration with
Ingela Johansson
Join Natalie Turner for an intimate exploration of The Red Silk Dress, reflecting on place, travel, and transformation.
Hosted in the design-led lounge of The Vintage Hotel & Spa in Príncipe Real, the night brings literature and art into a refined Lisbon setting.
The evening unfolds through the emotional threads of The Red Silk Dress, interwoven with seven original paintings inspired by its most transformative moments.
Literature, image, and sound meet in the same space, followed by informal mingling, time to view the paintings, and continue the conversation.
This marks the beginning of Red Silk gatherings, where story, art, and conversation meet in carefully chosen spaces.
