long ago, ca. 2012, at Husets Bio, we ran a qweird weekly film club with Andy & Michael. we called it not enough lava lamps cause duh! and we showed movies we wanted to see. dead, bright gems.

i miss movies in small groups of to-each-their-own film fanatics, so here comes the thing: once a month, every month, we’re having a screening in the bookstore. it’s bigger than my living room and we have a projector. the quality might be sub-par at times, but the people and the stories will prevail.

A chill winter writing club for those who want to work on whatever they want to work on, facilitated by Fahmida, whose sparky wits and gentle heart will be the most tremendous guide. You get a chance to share your writing to get feedback, and you get to give super supportive and encouraging feedback, inspire your writer friends to explore new directions. Plus, everyone gets a chance to sip hot chocolate and write for an hour on Sundays because it’s winter and maybe we all need a little push? A sweet, gentle and calming one. 

What can you expect? 

• A small chill intimate writing group who are open to sharing their writing, who are open to sharing good supportive feedback and who want to spend time with words and hot chocolate.

• A weekly space to bring your work to get feedback, to do the brave thing of slowly inviting people into the messy, to see where your creative mind can go next. 

pretty much same concept as before: MANY deals on books, plus the BOOK FUSS, flea market (also for kids, by kids), some treats for your estomaco, hot drinkzz, tarot readings and good pals.

It’s back, little baby!

Read into a whispery microphone, read a poem, a line from your diary, a dream, read that letter, your song lyrics or, better yet, sing them, read from your work-in-progress novel.

“Call it a jamboree. Yet, let's make it verbal. The mic is open for those who reach for it. The suggestion is to read a text (any genre) or improvise on the spot. We encourage you to bring works of personal authorship.
However, if you would rather read a most cherished fragment from another writer, that works, too.
Or maybe you just want to tell jokes, even a string of punchlines. The time cap is seven minutes per person, but we won't count too strictly.” - Javier

Drawing is primal and straight forward, everybody does it (to some extent) in their lifetime. This workshop is designed to explore and activate that creative impulse to start drawing more, for the sake of the process and expression itself, rather than for a specific result or an aesthetic. 

The point is to let loose and try to find yourself through different approaches to drawing.

The workshop is 1 ½ - 2 hours and will play with the idea of a personal/personalized sketchbook, provide diff examples and prompts that can inspire and help with sustaining drawing after the workshop/ accompanied by music + a coffee break:).

Dorota is a visual artist working mostly with drawing and illustrations, but enjoys exploring and using other mediums, such as music mixing/a bit of djing, up-cycling or whatever else that seems fun.

an evening with Majo & the fellow escritores

fuss fee 10,-

On Thursday, December 5th we welcome you to talk about how literature can open up paths to your desire.

This and other questions will be answered in the talk "Pages of Pleasure: How Literature Inspires Desire”, with Mari Williams, named one of the best sexuality speakers in Brazil. This meeting is part of the “Pleasure Talks On Tour”, which is also taking place in London, Barcelona, Porto and Lisbon. 

Finding out what we want (in bed and in life) can be difficult. As women, the paths to our desires are always lined with criticism and repression. Fortunately, fantasy exists as a powerful tool to show us what we want - or don't want. In this event, we'll get to know a little more about desires and fantasies through literature; learning how we can boost them for a more pleasurable and self-confident sexual life.

Vacant lots are fields in the city lying fallow

Landfill and byproducts of construction industry are catalysts for Bodil Krogh Andersen and Martin Christoffer Lund site-specific art. They will first share with us their practice of connecting the city (for example, Nordhavn Spit and Copenhagen) and its policies to show how we can relate ourselves to global political and environmental contexts. Then, they will invite us to write together. Please bring a notebook and a pen/cil.

Bodil Krogh Andersen and Martin Christoffer Lund often engage in concrete, site-specific projects centered on urban development, investigating how processes of inclusion and exclusion unfold within a political landscape shaped by powerful economic and political forces. At the same time, they seek to keep poetry alive—the poetry within reality and the reality within poetry—which always is hidden in all sorts of aspects of the world.

How can we organise ourselves differently in today’s capital-driven society? Are there ways of structuring our organisations that engage in new ways of world-making? How do we make a living? And who are our support networks?

To reflect on questions like this and to share insights into the making of an independent and artist-led school, we have invited Jonathan Spejlborg, artist and co-founder of LungA School (Iceland, 2013) as a guest for our first conversation.

Weaving Practices – learning together how to organise differently, is a conversation series initiated by school of other nows (soon) that wishes to hold transdisciplinary and intergenerational forums so that in the process of school-dreaming-up, we can (all) learn with (!) those who have chosen to stand at the margins of conventionality and have designed alternative ways of being/making/teaching/living.

About school of other nows (soon):(atm still taking shape) — experimenting as a school-to-be (soon) dreams of holding space to critically move beyond polarisation and headline culture by building an infrastructure of solidarity across varying points of views, ages and life experiences. Our dream is to collectively challenge what is comfortable to become vulnerable — as we nourish and encourage acts of curiosity, imagination, experimentation, cooperation, decolonization and rest.

Academy of Crude Arts is a series of art related workshops.

In this first workshop we explore the art form of field recording – the art of capturing your surroundings using microphones and other forms of vibrational sensors.

The goal of the workshop is to establish and explore a mode of listening that may or may not be useful in an artistic practice if you have one, or it might just be nice attitude to life and help you notice your sound environments.

In the workshop we’ll go through:

• the basics of what field recording actually is

• some philosophical attitudes one might explore in connection with the art form – including buddhist non-dualism and some John Berger business

• We’ll do some exercises and recordings

• Listen to lots of inspiring examples of field recordings.

Please note this workshop is not about gear, but still there are a few things that are nice to bring:

• Pen and paper

• A recording device (could be your phone, a tape recorder, a proper field recording device or anything really)

• Headphones for your recording device.

The workshop is led by Mads Kjeldgaard who is a composer, sound artist and developer. For more information, see https://madskjeldgaard.dk.

What role does art play in activism? How does creative collaboration impact politics? This event addresses these questions and celebrates the publication of The Revolution will Be Improvised: The Intimacy of Cultural Activism (University of Michigan Press, 2024). In her book, Dr. Elizabeth Rodriguez Fielder (University of Iowa) recovers an archive of texts, objects, and media produced by cultural activists of the 1960s and contends that their values and methods have a profound legacy on contemporary activism. From performance and theater to photography and multimedia experimentation, civil rights movement activists established new methods and aesthetics for social justice art. 

Dr. Rodriguez Fielder will be in conversation with Dr. Martyn Bone, Professor of American Literature at University of Copenhagen. In our 30 minute Q & A (in English), we will discuss why the young activists of the civil rights movement felt that creativity was essential to social movements and what lessons we might learn from them today. Dr. Rodriguez Fielder wrote much of this book here in Copenhagen on Blågårdsgade and is overjoyed to return to discuss how this neighborhood influenced her writing.

FIRST and SECOND TIME WENT SWELL!

So, bring a book to Darcy’s café (so gracious to host us) for an hour of speed friending in November.

Rotating 7-minute conversations with like-minded people and their books.

It can be a comfort book, a book that mirrors who you are, a book whose main characters you want to gossip about, a book you hate, or the last book you read. The intention is not to judge each other’s taste, but rather to bypass small talk and maybe leave the event with a new friend or at least some book inspiration.

The price includes one HHC (homemade hot cocoa).

Hosted at Darcy's Kaffe (Rantzausgade 2, 2200 København N), not at SUPeR

In this trauma-informed kids' yoga workshop “The Book of Me”, children ages 7-12 are invited to safely explore their own stories through yoga poses, each representing unique "chapters” in their lives. This gentle practice encourages self awareness, helping kids connect with their personal stories while expressing emotions and ideas. Linking yoga with the joy of reading, this class supports emotional processing and fosters a love for creativity and storytelling.

Kids will also participate in a visual art writing activity, creating with glitter, paper, and crayons, to add color and sparkle to their "Book of Me." Afterward, children can enjoy quiet reading or storytime based on the group’s energy.

What to bring:

• Comfy clothes 

• Yoga mat (optional — we’ll have a big cozy sheet for everyone, so no mat is needed)

• Whatever book you're currently reading (optional - in case you feel like quiet reading at any point)

Stina is a trauma informed kids yoga teacher, certified RYT and RCYT with 495+ hours of training, and a SUPeR book club host (plus bonus mom in training to 2 little yogis) 

Price per ticket: 120DKK (includes takeaway visual writing)

Max number of participants: 7

Chiara came to the bookstore and proposed a cluster of talks to reflect on the human condition and the now, through the lenses of art, emotional awareness and empathy. These talks will include artists and experts from the fields of dance, music, performance art, figurative art and cuisine, and hope to create a setting for empowering conversations about art and its role in these complex times.

The fourth event invites artists David Sebastian Lopez Restrepo and Live Art Denmark in a conversation about performance art, a relatively unknown but impactful art form. Both David Sebastian and Live Art Denmark have been active in the field for more than 20 years and will bring us into contact with this art form not only through their words, but also through their actions, which are the very essence of performance. Participants will be involved in a demonstration that will hopefully spark a small transformation in everyone's personal relationship with art and the world around them.
