Today, we would like to introduce to you a key part of our team: our video experts Quim Marín @viajandoconritmo and Fran Crespo. Ever since we started in 2015, they have been documenting our events and are now directing our livestreams. Their excellent work has allowed us to bring you the Virtual World Tour.

Quim is a former b-boy (as well as creative director) and Fran a passionate salsa dancer. With an exquisite sense of rhythm and an outstanding eye for detail, they always manage to capture the essence of AnA. In 2014, they founded an audiovisual production company called RITMO with clients in 13 different countries. We share their passion for traveling, discovering new places, meeting people, and experiencing local cultures. You can find out more about their work at www.tienesritmo.com.

We are very grateful that this power couple is part of our team!

Next Tuesday, November 30, Lorcan O'Herlihy will be at our virtual stage together with Clive Wilkinson on live from Los Angeles. The Irish-born American architect founded @loharchitects in 1994. His projects have earned him over 100 national and international design awards, including the AIA Los Angeles @aia_la Gold Medal.

Based in Los Angeles, Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects (LOHA) champions the idea that architecture is “a social act – a tool for engaging in politics, economics, aesthetics and smart growth”. Eclectic projects that range from distinctive bus shelters to supportive housing for homeless people shape her practice.
