Anna Prudhomme

Anna Prudhomme is a French art writer and photographer based between Paris and London. Born in the French capital, half-raised in Barcelona, she takes inspiration in buzzing cities.

Today, art in its largest definition, and the creatives who nourish it, is what she is most passionate about. Consequently, her journalism beat includes visual arts, fashion, music, literature, performances, cinema, feminism and human stories.
