“The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” -Toni Cade Bambara 

Join debut author Katerina Jeng and memoirist Barrak Alzaid for an irresistible, revolutionary evening. We’ll read poetry together, be in conversation about the role & power of art, and celebrate the Copenhagen launch of Katerina’s poetic memoir, Gospel of a Whole Sun—a 3-year chronicle of queer discovery, love, and liberation.

Barrak Alzaid (he/him) is a writer whose forthcoming memoir, Fabulous: A Story of Family Fracture and Healing, explores his coming of age amid Arab and Muslim values. His work appears in Rusted Radishes and The Markaz Review as well as the anthologies The Ordinary Chaos of Being Human, New Moons, El Ghourabaa, and Mudun. Fellowships and residencies include The Corporation of Yaddo, La Napoule Art Foundation and 100 West – Corsicana Artist & Writer Residency.

Katerina Jeng (they/she) is an author, speaker, and creative coach. They are here to help guide humanity into a new paradigm world through humble service that is abundantly joyful, pleasurable, and free. Katerina’s writing explores love and power, and is inspired by their identity as a queer, neurodivergent, Filipina-Taiwanese-American femme. Their debut poetry collection, Gospel of a Whole Sun (Andrews McMeel, 2024), chronicles their journey of self-discovery over the course of three pivotal years, and is a poignant look at the relationship of art-making to personal & collective liberation.

What would the world look like if we decolonized our dreamspaces? 

Join author Lesley-Ann Brown aka Blackgirl on Mars in co-creating our very own dreamspace. 

Let's re-image the world and our place in it in this counterstorytelling bootcamp where we will make time to dream, create, rest and re-image. This is a 3 hour writing workshop where you will learn to liberate your dreams from colonial prisons, write them down and share. 

max 10 participants

Each participant will receive a copy of Lesley-Ann Brown's books, Decolonial Daughter (Repeater Books).

Lesley-Ann Brown is a Caribbean-American writer born in Brooklyn with roots in Trinidad and Tobago. In 1999 she moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, to become a mother. She began organizing poetry events and freelanced for NBCBLK.
Her work has been published in the US, Europe, and Latin America. She is the author of Decolonial Daughter: Letters from a Black Woman to her European Son, her debut.
Lesley-Ann Brown is interested in how modernity has ruptured familial memories and bonds. She is interested in the land and the stories that it holds. In her upcoming publication, “Blackgirl on Mars,” she examines the current global mental health crisis and how it relates to “civilization,”; the project of modernity and healing, among other issues.

—- Critical cultural theory workshops about the messiness of all the things

As we continue with the workshop series to investigate the question on everyone’s mind (what the fuck is going on?) we’re going to add some critical cultural theory tools to our investigation so you can take them with you on vacation. This time, we will be looking at how to use a couple of psychoanalytic theories of depression to talk about how to think about things like disappointing art and music, an economy that only seems to work for robots and that climate crisis thing that it seems no one in power really wants to prevent or even mitigate. Bring your own worries along, and a pen and pad, and together we’ll take a little step closer to figuring out what the fuck is going on?

The workshop will be facilitated by Macon Holt, a cultural theorist and writer and the founder of advisory and coaching company, Aesthetic Theory.

Tickets: 100kr

Dive into the body through a guided somatic experience that opens space for movement, stillness, and writing. It’s an invitation to tune in before you head off on holiday — offering tools for connecting with your bodymind.

We’ll explore the interplay between unspoken bodily sensations and verbal expression, investigating the tension and energy of both, and how they inform or disrupt each other. Can words capture—or miss—the essence of you? We’ll close with space for sharing and connection, to reflect on the experience and begin to integrate what’s emerged.

Sara is a writer, artist, and embodiment guide based in Copenhagen. With a background in dance, improvisation, and somatic practices, she explores how body awareness can become part of everyday life. Her approach draws from regenerative leadership, Theory U, non-dual tantra, Body-Mind Centering, and the Inner Development Goals. She’s practiced yoga for six years and currently leads somatic experiences as spaces for people to reconnect with their bodymind felt sense. A longtime lover of language, Sara has always written poetry and been fascinated by the power of words. Lately, she’s been exploring how language can spark movement—and how movement can speak in return. This workshop grows from that journey: movement becoming language, and language returning to the body.

Max Brett is a minor North American writer and systemically important French business executive who lives and works in Paris. The Consequences, which focuses on abandonment and obsession and is published by Ness Books, is his most recent collection of prose and poetry.

He’s coming to the bookstore and it will be a perfect vendredi soirée with chit-chat, readings, and some glou-glou.

The Consequences is a hybrid collection of prose and poetry; an autofictional examination of the pain of a transatlantic relocation from New York to the blanketing beige of Paris to rejoin a totemic muse. It also focuses on corgi attacks, Maryland, painful anxiety, the struggle to accept the things one cannot change, the third party and the past as adamantine shackles. The "towering sexual iconography of Mike Immerman" looms over the disorientation of a reluctant resident in “the City of Light.”

We're going to dig deeper into our Tarot practices with some super fun social exercises, try out different Tarot spreads, and get hands-on with interpreting those tricky reversed cards. 

Please bring your own favourite Tarot decks. 

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

On June 19th, Linea Maja Ernst will be in conversation with her novel’s English translator, Sherilyn Hellberg, and cultural critic, Macon Holt, to talk about the translation of this very Danish story of the yearning and panic induced by living the “bourgeois bohemian” dream. Ernst’s debut novel, Waist Deep, is a comedy of manners about a group of thirty-something university friends reunited for a week in a countryside summer house and being confronted by how achingly conventional they have become in the years after their radical education.

Linea Maja Ernst is a staff writer at the Danish newspaper Weekendavisen, where she writes about literature, pop culture and private life. Waist Deep is her debut novel and was an instant bestseller on first publication in Denmark in 2024, and has now been translated into ten languages.

Sherilyn Nicolette Hellberg is a writer and literary translator based in Copenhagen. Her work has appeared in the New Yorker and the Paris Review, among other places, and her translation of Jonas Eika’s After the Sun from the Danish was longlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize. She holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Berkeley.

Macon Holt Macon Holt is a writer, critic, teacher and cultural theorist. He is the author of Pop Music and Hip Ennui: A Sonic Fiction of Capitalist Realism. He has a PhD in Cultural Studies from Goldsmiths, University of London and runs the coaching and advisory service Aesthetic Theory.

Feeling overwhelmed by everything? The speed and intensity of it all? Do you also feel this weird dissonance from things that are being praised for their endless potential and prosperity?

Well in this book club, we want to invite you to a safe haven, where you can discuss and illuminate the reality of those feelings. No acceleration, no algorithm. Just some good authors writing good shit about the bad shit happening in our very own dystopian Utopia.

It starts with McKenzie Wark’s book Capital is Dead.

THIS FIRST MEETING IS INFORMATIVE AND ITS PURPOSE IS TO SHAPE THIS BOOK CLUB TOGETHER.

attendance is free of charge, but please sign up via the button below

MORE INFO SOON

DATE FOR JUNE NOT FINAL

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?

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.

This is a soft little futures workshop, held outside (weather gods permitting). A quiet-ish space to untangle the scripts that keep us stuck, and try on different futures. No big group work. No fixing. Just solo time to imagine something new. We’ll write, breathe, maybe draw, or just sit with the worms. 

You’ll be taken through some solo experiments:

notice the narratives you carry,

imagine breaking free in some weird, wonderful futures,

make a symbol for what’s emerging.

Think: speculative self-inquiry meets quiet future-making. Just a tiny opening, with tea. You don’t have to share anything out loud. Bring a pen, a story you're tired of, and whatever shape your heart is in that day.

A special edition mashup Poetry Unleashed!

The theme for this event is inspired by the space, we will share our piece inspired by the books we’ve been reading and by artists we admire. As always, bring your work that wants to be read even if it isn’t directly on the theme. 

Poetry Unleashed can’t wait to hear all those who would like to read and to see all those who would like to come to listen on June 13th from 18:30.

Poetry Unleashed is a virtual space for poets, authors, zine creators and anyone else who seeks poetic community. A real life platform to read your work to live audience and get inspired by other artists. A social media space that promotes works by associate artist, shares creative events and publishing opportunities. 

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 11⁄2 - 2 hours and will play with the aesthetics of hyperrealism and dungeon punk through different exercises focused on shading. Accompanied by music + a coffee break if needed:).

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.

—- Critical cultural theory workshops about the messiness of all the things

It’s kind of a mess, right? Like all the things. Work can be pretty meaningless when it is not absolutely anxiety-inducing, but the rents are also pretty high. Friendships and community can seem like a luxury that is hard to retain when the pressures of nuclear coupledom and reproduction are so individualised and isolated, and public spaces keep disappearing. And that before we get onto the big stuff like raising geopolitical tensions, tech surveillance and addiction, the ascendency of fascism and the collapse of the climate. At times like these, it can help to try to get a clear sense of what is going on, and theory is a great tool for that. Especially if you take it out of the competitive context of formal education. These workshops aim to do just that by providing you a critical tool kit with which to think about what the fuck is going on, in a relaxed and constructive atmosphere. When people sign up, they can email a question or a problem, and the workshop will be designed to help address them. The workshops will take the questions and problems as the starting point to dive into resources of critical cultural theory through explanation, conversations and activities in smaller groups. At the end of the workshop, we’ll draw the connections together and be able to see more clearly what exactly is going on, and have a better idea of what can be done about it.

This workshop is a pilot, so you can sign up for the low, low price of 50kr.

A double-whammy of a cosy bookshop concert featuring the Mexican artist José Orozco Mora and local Mads Kjeldgaard.

José Orozco Mora's live performance combines his self-built acoustic instruments and modular synthesis, all framed by his research into alternative tunings and just intonation.

Mads Kjeldgaard will be playing a concert using a new electronic music instrument, The Harmony Exploration Instrument aka. HEI. Expect thick but pleasent layers of melodic and harmonic patterns inspired by the growth processes of nature.

About the artists

José Orozco Mora, originally from Chapala, Jalisco, currently based in Mexico City, works with sound across multiple disciplines, including sound installation and design, composition, production and post-production, as well as experimental lutherie. His work focuses on exploring sound with a particular emphasis on its physical properties and its relationship with acoustics and psychoacoustics. To achieve this, he experiments with alternative tunings, a careful selection of timbres, and the spectral content of both acoustic and electronic instruments, many of which he designs and builds himself. This in-depth sonic exploration has led him to work with various media and formats, including sound installations and multichannel works.

Orozco has been a recipient of the Jóvenes Creadores grant from PECDA Jalisco (2021 and 2024) and the Jóvenes Creadores program from FONCA (2023). His recordinds has been published by renowned record labels such as Cassauna / Important Records (United States), Hole Records (Mexico), Constellation Tatsu (United States), and Debacle Records (United States). His work has been presented in Mexico, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Denmark. Orozco holds a master's degree in Music Technology from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and is currently pursuing a doctorate at the same institution.

Mads Kjeldgaard is a sound artist and composer from Denmark. His work encompasses text, photography, motor-based sound art, electronics, field recordings, and programming. In 2024, he founded the platform Exformal Records for sound and listening-based thinking, followed in 2025 by hyaline.systems, a platform for creative technology. He studied electronic music composition at The Royal Academy of Music (DIEM), trained as a journalist, and has worked for several years in the art-technology field as a developer, and is a member of The Danish Composers’ Society.

Mie Albæk Nielsen’s debut novel, Lystprincippet, is coming out May 15th. On Wednesday, May 21st, we loosely get together with Mie, and some copies of the book, between 16-19, to celebrate.

Mie’s writing is like the soft summer breeze that pats your head and you think “so cute, i’m alive” and then you notice it toppled over everything around you. Its gentle strength is pure poetry.

Everyone’s welcome.

The book is only available in Danish, for now, but we’ll chit chat in all the languages we can and even attempt a reading in English, (maybe!) :)

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.
