Presentation and workshop 

Iván Székely, curator of the exhibition Basalt. The Layers of Oblivion, will give a brief overview of the need for multisensoriality in the activities of memory institutions, especially museums and galleries. He will present the main objectives and results of the Odeuropa project, the role of the olfactory approach in the recollection of memories, the multilateral linking of paintings, objects and spaces. Participants will be able to discover a historical collection of scents and identify the works of art that inspired the synthesizing of scents.
