ROTTEN TARot best eVENT

Jody Barton comes to the bookstore with a brand new Tarot deck with completely new ideas, artwork and metaphors in keeping with the dismal and comic age in which we cower. Laugh, cry and hurl as you utilise these exquisite esoteric fortune telling cards to re-order your own disordered life(style) into something yet more baroque and disassociative. Meet the artist and writer of this romantic deluge Jody Barton, get him to sign your cards, pummel him for insights into the fog you call ‘your life’ and be a good member of society, turning up to awkwardly meet other people with obliquely similar interests. Drinks, salty snacks, maybe a playlist - Jody might even ‘talk’. It’s gonna be a gas.

Jody: "I'm totally devoted politically and emotionally to the right of all people to self-determine their identity and to live their lives in the peaceful way they want to live them. My entire practice as an artist is dedicated to this and I have worked for many organisations and individuals in support of these ideals. The content of my work in The Rotten Tarot is also in accordance with these beliefs. You can be assured that it is part of the future - not the past."

    • 120mm x 70mm, (classic Tarot)

Playful Portrait Drawing
Apr

Playful Portrait Drawing

What is playful portrait drawing? Well, think croquis with its short timed intervals but instead we’ll be drawing each other’s portraits. And to add a fun twist, with each timed drawing we will explore a different art medium and add a creative constraint - e.g continuous line, non dominant hand, collage and many more. After we’ve loosened up with these quick exercises, you’ll have plenty of time to focus on a portrait in any style of your choice.

All materials will be provided, so just come along with a friend or loved one, or get to know the person sitting opposite you! We’ll be putting perfection aside and instead prioritising the joy of making marks on paper, bringing character and life to our observational drawings and getting in touch with our inquisitive and creative side. 

Alysha is a freelance illustrator obsessed with watercolours, mixed media sketchbook play, observational drawing and doodling all over her to-do lists.

weaving practices #3 w. T.J. DEMOS / school of other nows

weaving practices #3 w. T.J. DEMOS / school of other nows

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? Who are our support networks? How do we build infrastructures of solidarity?

For our third conversation we have invited T.J. Demos — writer, professor, researcher, activist & organiser to share insights on his research and particularly on his book “Radical Futurisms” (a big source of inspiration) published by Sternberg Press: “There is widespread consensus that we are living at the end—of democracy, of liberalism, of capitalism, of a healthy planet, of the Holocene, of civilization as we know it. In this book, drawing on radical futurisms and visions of justice-to-come emerging from the traditions of the oppressed—Indigenous, African-American, multispecies, anti-capitalist—as materialized in experimental visual cultural, new media, aesthetic practices, and social movements, T. J. Demos poses speculative questions about what comes after end-of-world narratives. He argues that it's as vital to defeat fatalistic nihilism as it is to defeat the false solutions of green capitalism and algorithmic governance. How might we decolonize the future, and cultivate an emancipated chronopolitics in relation to an undetermined not-yet? If we are to avoid climate emergency's cooptation by technofixes, and the defuturing of multitudes by xenophobic eco-fascism, Demos argues, we must cultivate visions of just futurity and multispecies flourishing.”

 

T. J. Demos is a professor in the Department of Art History and Visual Culture at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Director of its Center for Creative Ecologies, with a multifaceted practice and a background in art history as well as activism and organising. He writes widely about contemporary art, global politics, and ecology, and is the author, most recently, of “Beyond the World's End - Arts of Living at the Crossing” and “Radical Futurisms: Ecologies of Collapse, Chronopolitics, and Justice-to-Come” **T.J. will be joining us over the world wide web.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) (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.

tarot workshop

tarot workshop

Once scorned and celebrated, Tarot faced criticism and admiration alike. From being condemned as a dark tool to being hailed as a mysterious revelation, it endured persecution and adoration. Eliphas Levi, French writer, and the author of "Transcendental Magic," when asked which book he would take to prison, declared that it would’ve been a Tarot deck. In Tarot, he believed, lie all the keys to understanding the laws and principles of the universe, and within its cards, one finds stories unmatched by any writer's imagination.

Every time I lay out the Tarot cards, I am amazed by the accuracy of their symbolism. They serve as a starting point for profound discussions about all life’s aspects- beauty, limitations, fears, and anxieties inherent in our existence. These mysterious images inspire honest reflections, discoveries, and transformations.

In this workshop, I want to to share my knowledge and experience with you. Together we will explore the art of tarot reading with hands-on practice, decoding symbolical messages, and mastering tarot spreads. After this workshop, you will be know how to interpret tarot cards, use them as both the meditation or divination tool and learn what it takes to become fluent in Tarot symbolic language.  - Wiola

No prior tarot knowledge required.

The workshop includes:

11.00 to 13:00 - two hours of learning and practicing,

a networking/open discussion session from 13.00 to 14.00 - optional.

a new tarot deck for you to take home

dirty little secret bookclub

dirty little secret bookclub

think of this as an experimental book club that works as a tool for self-awareness and self-knowledge, but i hope it becomes its own thing. yeah, we read silly erotic books, but it's really an exploration of who we are, with a nice and open and sincere talk afterwards, or in the middle of it, or whenever, about who we are and what we want and what we desire, and what dont want but desire, etc etc maybe even about taboos, there's so many, and some are lodged into our brains so secretly.

so it's a conceptual book club, a dirty secrets club, a talk talk club, all these things.

Derrida in a documentary about himself was asked what he would like to see in a documentary about some important but dead philosophers and his answer was: "For them to talk about their sex life. . . . You want a quick answer? Their sex life!"

the evening will go as it goes, but the idea is to read out lout from this book (the first one is called In and Out and its cover is bright pink!!!) and take it from there, blush, giggle, pause and talk, trash the book because it's actually not palatable, etc. we’ll see, we’ll sea.

i dont need to mention this again but i will, inclusiveness and niceness, in all directions and back again, are a must. can we build trust? i think so. i wrote girly vibes + all genders welcome and i feel it as true but not sure it was the most appropriate explanation. hope you get the jist and come get a bit out of your comfort zone.

DRAWING WORKSHOP - DECORATIVE TECHniques and it lives in the bookshop

The workshop is 2 - 21⁄2 hours and will play with drawing on furniture - stools from the bookstore:)!

We’re gonna try to do a little design based on some artists who are known for drawing on wood and

decorative techniques, and try to execute it together on the stools that would be later preserved for

use in the bookstore. As usual accompanied by music + a coffee break:).

Dorota is a visual artist working mostly with drawing and illustration, but enjoys exploring and using other

mediums, such as music mixing/a bit of djing, up-cycling or whatever else that seems fun.

ELLA FREARs // GOODLORD // Author meet-cute

 m m mm m m. m mm. m m m.   m. mm. m.         m m. m.     m

Here I am making a big fuss because I love her words and she’s coming to town as a SUPeR special guest: Ella Frears, one night only, for a reading (from Goodlord), and a chat, and questions, and all that’s good(lit!). Friday, April 25th, doors open at 18:00.

(Goodlord) is the kind of book I would have liked to burrow inside and slowly sip all the words. I was dragging it with me everywhere or maybe it was the other way around, it was dragging me around, taking me out, making me reappear in the world. ()

An email (if you take it from the cover), and also a novel, and also poetry, and also blue sky interjected by some crazy blizzard, only to come back to calm. A speedy punk odyssey. It’s an anger. Whether it escapes categorization or not, it’s a really swell and surprising read.

Ella Frears is a poet and artist based in London. Her debut collection, Shine, Darling, (Offord Road Books, 2020) was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and was shortlisted for both the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, and the T. S. Eliot Prize for Poetry.  Goodlord, (Rough Trade Books, 2024) her new hybrid work which takes the form of one long email to an estate agent, is shortlisted for the Forward Prize and the Sky Arts Awards’ Times Breakthrough Artist of the Year.

event ticket: 45,- 

book plus event: 200,- (which is the price of the book which means the event is free if you buy the book thanks and you can pick it up before and you can get it signed on the day if you’re into that kind of authorcore)

Harmonize your life: explore your dosha with Ayurveda

Harmonize your life: explore your dosha with Ayurveda

Ayurveda is the traditional Indian medicine. In Ayurveda, we believe that each person has a body type called dosha (Pitta, Kapha, Vata).

In this workshop, I will explain what Ayurveda is and how we can apply it to our modern lives. You will also learn about your specific dosha (body type) and receive general recommendations for better health (both mental and physical). By understanding your dosha and applying the wisdom of Ayurveda to your diet and lifestyle, you will enhance your daily life (health and well-being). It is also an opportunity to get to know yourself better, to understand what is “good” and “bad” for you based on your dosha, and to learn to listen to your body.

In Ayurveda, we prioritize prevention over healing. It makes more sense to invest a little energy in staying healthy than to expend a lot of energy trying to recover from illness. We will explore these concepts together, and you’ll be free to ask questions about this wonderful ancient Indian medicine. Join us to discover how to become a better version of yourself!

The workshop is 1 1⁄2 - 2 hours and will include line work exercises, creation of the composition & free drawing on the big format on the floor/ accompanied by music + a coffee break:).

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.

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 dj-ing, up-cycling, or whatever else that seems fun.

DIGITAL MEMORY ARCHIVAL WORKSHOP
Mar

DIGITAL MEMORY ARCHIVAL WORKSHOP

Create a physical artifact out of your digital traces!

In light of recent increasing tech-fascism and in turn, a growing desire to leave Big Tech platforms, this workshop invites participants to archive their online digital footprints physically.

Many of us have emotional attachments to our digital selves. This workshop functions as a process for participants to acknowledge and archive some of their online digital selves, past and present, which they may have complex, nostalgic, or sentimental attachments to. It is our hope that this process may facilitate a move away from using Big Tech’s infrastructure for archiving our thoughts and memories. As a step in this direction, we will be selecting and transforming digitally saved pieces of our life into physical pieces of art. 

Participants will print out images/text/data from their social media and create a physical artifact that they can take home with them using materials such as paper, cloth, glitter, glue, stickers, whatever else they might want to use. The workshop will allow room for creativity in materials and process. Where social media could be understood as IG, FB, Twitter/X, etc. but also more broadly speaking, old Tumblr accounts, Pinterest boards, ask.fm, etc. etc., (basically, whatever you want to archive and play with physically).

This workshop also coincides with CURSOR's current theme which is In the Archives. 

Cursor is a Copenhagen-based collective and micro-publication bringing together people across fields with the aim to deepen our understanding of the digital world around us.

Email us if you want to participate & cost is a barrier to participation or for other accessibility questions at maya@cursormag.net. Snacks will be provided.

dream interpretation workshop w. Javier

What could it mean? This has to be a common reaction to the vivid and alluring imagery that takes place as we dream. We recall our dreams in awe, yet we often stumble when we try to understand their messages, which are expressions of our inner life. Dreams speak in symbols, and the objective of this workshop is to learn how to interpret the symbolic elements, to then uncover what our dreams are trying to tell us. 

This hands-on workshop focuses on a four-step method (derived from Jungian psychology) which provides the fundamentals of dream interpretation. The goal is to learn by doing. By the end of the workshop each participant will take home a complete interpretation of a dream, and the techniques to repeat the exercises at home.

Failure as a Strategy for Listening
Feb

Failure as a Strategy for Listening

re-launch of Bureau for Listening’s publication 'failed attempt to listening / failure as a strategy for listening

+ a reading/writing/listening workshop, where we will explore listening through reflecting on and share the learnings and unlearnings of failing to listen.

Rather than perceiving failure as a negative and devalued form of shortcoming, we will engage it as an activistic and critical framework, through which we might reorientate and reevaluate our abilities and desired society. Everyone is welcome, and simply supporting the room by one's listening is valued equally to actively sharing one's thoughts and experiences.

'To listen, then, is to fail at understanding in the traditional sense. It is to tremble and await, to dream, to explore and to remain open to the dissonance that arises in the encounter with otherness. Through failure, we come to realize that understanding is not a final destination but a continual process of questioning and renegotiation. Listening as failure is not about getting it right; it is about staying with the messiness, the uncertainty, and the profound unknowing that is necessary for true connection.'

A form of the publication, under the same title, was first published by Passive/Aggressive the 22nd of November 2024.

You can see more about the publication here: https://bureauforlistening.com/failed-attempts-at-listening/

SHARPEN YOUR EYE (◔_◔) WRITING WORKSHOP en aespañol

writing workshop w. Majo Moirón

Escribir puede ser una herramienta para afilar la mirada, la forma en la que vemos y pensamos la vida es solo nuestra y escribirla, sacarla de adentro hacia afuera mediante el papel, es una forma de afirmarla. 

El aburrimiento no es posible si podemos escribir, desplegar una vida de la propia vida, como diría Alice Munro: escribir es vivir dos veces.

En estos tres meses de taller, vamos a afilar nuestro ojo de la escritura para encontrar esa mirada, una forma de ver el mundo, lo más personal posible, de lo individual a lo colectivo, para desplegar historias que queramos contar. 

Vamos a leer textos tanto teóricos como narrativos, aprender a leernos entre todos y pensar la literatura en conjunto, alimentándonos de poesía,  y compartiendo la intimidad de una lectura. 

Writing can be a tool to sharpen the way we see and think about life. Our perspective is uniquely ours, and writing it down—bringing it from the inside out onto paper—is a way of affirming it.

Boredom becomes impossible when we can write, when we can unfold a life within our own. As Alice Munro would say, writing is living twice.

In this three-month workshop, we will sharpen our writer’s eye to discover that personal perspective—a deeply individual way of seeing the world—and transform it into stories we want to tell, bridging the personal to the collective.

We will read both theoretical and narrative texts, learn to read and reflect together, think about literature collectively, nourish ourselves with poetry, and share the intimacy of reading.

DRAWING WORKSHOP / playing w gloomy landscape painting:)/ Caspar D. Friedrich &romanticism now

The workshop is 1 1⁄2 - 2 hours and will include a short intro to the history of landscape painting & painter Caspar D. Friedrich, painting and drawing exercises/ accompanied by music + a coffee break:).

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.

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 dj-ing, up-cycling, or whatever else that seems fun.

weaving practices #2 / school of other nows

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?

For our second conversation we have invited Annelys de Vet — designer, educator and researcher to reflect and share insights on her experience initiating the temporary MA on Disarming Design at the Sandberg institute; which was committed to design practices in situations of oppression, acting on the overlap of design, crafts, politics, pedagogy, community, and poetry and we are eager to know how it felt to work in an already established institution. **Annelys will be joining us over the world wide web.

Annelys has also co-founded the thought provoking design platform Disarming Design from Palestine and has initiated the publishing initiative Subjective Editions that map countries from inside out, by the inhabitants themselves; including Subjective Atlas of Colombia (2015), Subjective Atlas of Brussels (2018), and Subjective Atlas of Pakistan (2018). Her body of work explores the role of design in relation to the public and political discourse, in order to develop methods, structures, and tools that feed agency through design for a pluralist society.

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) (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.

SHARPEN YOUR EYE (◔_◔) WRITING WORKSHOP en aespañol

writing workshop w. Majo Moirón

Escribir puede ser una herramienta para afilar la mirada, la forma en la que vemos y pensamos la vida es solo nuestra y escribirla, sacarla de adentro hacia afuera mediante el papel, es una forma de afirmarla. 

El aburrimiento no es posible si podemos escribir, desplegar una vida de la propia vida, como diría Alice Munro: escribir es vivir dos veces.

En estos tres meses de taller, vamos a afilar nuestro ojo de la escritura para encontrar esa mirada, una forma de ver el mundo, lo más personal posible, de lo individual a lo colectivo, para desplegar historias que queramos contar. 

Vamos a leer textos tanto teóricos como narrativos, aprender a leernos entre todos y pensar la literatura en conjunto, alimentándonos de poesía,  y compartiendo la intimidad de una lectura. 

Writing can be a tool to sharpen the way we see and think about life. Our perspective is uniquely ours, and writing it down—bringing it from the inside out onto paper—is a way of affirming it.

Boredom becomes impossible when we can write, when we can unfold a life within our own. As Alice Munro would say, writing is living twice.

In this three-month workshop, we will sharpen our writer’s eye to discover that personal perspective—a deeply individual way of seeing the world—and transform it into stories we want to tell, bridging the personal to the collective.

We will read both theoretical and narrative texts, learn to read and reflect together, think about literature collectively, nourish ourselves with poetry, and share the intimacy of reading.

every tuesday from 18:00 (for three months)

starts on wednesday (!!) Feb 5th

price per month 750,-

tarot workshop w. Wiola

Once scorned and celebrated, Tarot faced criticism and admiration alike. From being condemned as a dark tool to being hailed as a mysterious revelation, it endured persecution and adoration. Eliphas Levi, French writer, and the author of "Transcendental Magic," when asked which book he would take to prison, declared that it would’ve been a Tarot deck. In Tarot, he believed, lie all the keys to understanding the laws and principles of the universe, and within its cards, one finds stories unmatched by any writer's imagination.

Every time I lay out the Tarot cards, I am amazed by the accuracy of their symbolism. They serve as a starting point for profound discussions about all life’s aspects- beauty, limitations, fears, and anxieties inherent in our existence. These mysterious images inspire honest reflections, discoveries, and transformations.

In this workshop, I want to to share my knowledge and experience with you. Together we will explore the art of tarot reading with hands-on practice, decoding symbolical messages, and mastering tarot spreads. After this workshop, you will be know how to interpret tarot cards, use them as both the meditation or divination tool and learn what it takes to become fluent in Tarot symbolic language.  - Wiola

No prior tarot knowledge required.

The workshop includes:

11.00 to 13:00 - two hours of learning and practicing,

a networking/open discussion session from 13.00 to 14.00 - optional.

a new tarot deck for you to take home 

coffee, tea and snacks

+ draw a leading theme card for 2025

SUPER SECRET MOVIE CLUB #13

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. 

if it’s for you send an email via the SIGN UP button and add a bit of juice about your inner movie maniac. 

greetings,

your favorite dilettante
