An International Surrealist Art Event

L’AGE D’OR is an international underground art platform dedicated to surrealism, cultural expression, and artistic experimentation. Through a diverse programme of surrealist festivals, group exhibitions, film screenings, and parties, L’AGE D’OR creates immersive experiences that challenge conventions and invite audiences to see the world from new perspectives.

Inspired by L’Âge d’or (1930), the French surrealist satire directed by Luis Buñuel in collaboration with Salvador Dalí, L’AGE D’OR explores the film’s enduring themes through contemporary artistic interpretations. Eclectic in style and multidisciplinary in approach, the event engages with ideas of human nature, destruction, confusion, passion, fear, oppression, and isolation.

Founded by Baharak Dehghan, L’AGE D’OR brings together artists from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds to create collective art experiences. Through painting, photography, video, sculpture, and other media, participating artists offer personal and culturally diverse perspectives on the themes that lie at the heart of Buñuel’s provocative masterpiece.

At its core, L’AGE D’OR seeks to question the cultural, social, and moral values that shape our society — much like the film that inspired it. By bringing together thought-provoking works of art and unconventional creative voices, the event invites audiences to challenge established beliefs, confront contradictions, and explore the boundaries between freedom, desire, and repression.

Nearly a century after the film’s release, its central questions remain strikingly relevant. Which forces continue to shape our society: bourgeois morality and sexual repression, the very forces that once led to the film’s censorship, or the pursuit of personal freedom, unconventional desire, and l’amour fou?

What kind of Golden Age do we live in today? And what would Buñuel and Dalí’s L’Âge d’or look like if it were created in our time?

With successful exhibitions and extraordinary artistic events in London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Paris, L’AGE D’OR continues to bring together international artists and audiences through bold, surreal, and culturally provocative experiences.
