Art, poetry, and prose brought to you by Book Vivant.
Book Vivant, the specialty store that brings together the best of the good life—books & wine—presents a special program featuring three literary tastings and book presentations that blend encounters of art, poetry, and prose.
Saturday, April 25 at 6:00 p.m. | Art-Literary Tasting
A sensory journey through texts and the Mudras series by María José Guerrero, created in Prussian Blue. Accompanied by a selection of LOVIE chocolates (Victoria Weffer) paired with Macedonio pisco from Bodega Ras.
Elusive light prevails over stories, déjà vus, verbal images, and personal landscapes, which are accompanied—through a space of silence and serenity—by the Mudras series.
Through this 19th-century photographic process, María José Guerrero produces unique prints in a characteristic color known as Prussian Blue.
The work was published in a limited edition of one hundred twenty copies, along with a special edition of six unique signed copies, featuring hand-printed photographs from the series by the artist.

Friday, April 24 at 5:00 p.m. | The Art-Banquet of Opposites | Book Vivant Stand
An experience that brings together art and tasting, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci and Charles Bukowski. Accompanied by a selection of LOVIE chocolates (Victoria Weffer) paired with Kraken craft beer and Peruvian Black Whiskey.
An afternoon centered not only on drinking and eating, but on dissecting reality. The proposal draws on two unlikely guides: Leonardo da Vinci, who sought perfection in the angle of a shadow, and Charles Bukowski, who found truth at the bottom of a dirty glass.
A sensory proposal that brings into tension the engineering of pleasure and the intensity of the earth.

In addition to the books:
Cocoa Sensory Exploration Table | Book Vivant Stand | Casa Pardo
A space to discover cocoa through its flavors, aromas, and processes, from an artistic and sensory perspective.
An artistic map of relationships that seeks to access sensory memory, highlighting the human capacity to reinvent the familiar from everyday life as well as from a sense of wonder. The experience proposes rediscovering what is known through new tools that allow matter to be understood not merely as a substance, but as an element containing diverse chemical compounds that give it flavor, aroma, color, and texture—using the senses as a channel.
This approach guides the perspective toward a more integral and profound understanding of one of the most elemental and primordial human functions: nourishment, revealing within it diversity, complexity, and a unique opportunity for awareness, connection, and interpretation.
Always filled with art and poetry…
