What the Fuck is Going on? 7 How to ride capitalism’s death drive.

While many powerful people tell us that capitalism is the road to growth and progress, many of us see something else. Something that looks more like a death cult. Whether it is the rise of fascism or AI (or AI powered fascism), the collapse of welfare states, so corporate and wealth taxes don’t “threaten” growth, or collapsing the ecosystem to make more Labubus or something, the drive for ever-growing profit seems to have us hurtling towards one demise or another. Marx argued that capitalism can’t help but cause crises, and eventually this would lead to its end (with a little help from the revolutionary working class). But while that desirable outcome remains just beyond the horizon, it is worth thinking about how else to understand what the fuck is going on and how to survive whatever that is unfolding.

In 1920, Freud developed the concept of the death drive to understand why people kept doing things that caused them pain even though they knew they would. He argued it was a maladaptive defense mechanism in organic life that sought the stability of becoming inorganic (dead) again. Picking up Freud’s idea (and it’s for the forerunner in the work of Sabina Spielrein), we are going to see how this tendency to seek protection from the hardships of living tips over into self-destruction. Drawing on special guest Andreas Hjort Bundgaard’s work in uncovering the death drive of in Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, Mark Fisher’s revision of the right-wing accelerationism of Nick Land, and Agvi Sakatopulous’ concept of “Exigent Sadism”, we are going to think about how to thrive and survive as we live through late capitalism’s death drive.
 
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 Aesthetic Theory.

How do our bodies register the instability of a changing climate?

guest speaker: Katrina Bugaj

In this informal process-sharing, drawing from Turbulence—an interdisciplinary (circus-theatre-music) performance about climate anxiety, home, and migration—we’ll explore what it means to navigate imbalance, risk, disorientation and reorientation. Together, we’ll view short excerpts and images from the project, consider how physical movement can express environmental precarity, and take part in a few gentle writing and embodied invitations inspired by the work.

No performance experience necessary—only curiosity, openness, and a pen and paper.

Katrina Bugaj is co-founder and joint artistic director of Out of Balanz, an internationally touring company creating interdisciplinary performance that responds to contemporary life.

What stories about yourself do you keep returning to?
Which ones feel tired, and which ones are still becoming?

This is a soft little futures workshop to untangle the scripts that keep us stuck, imagine otherwise, 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 guided through a few quiet experiments:
✶ noticing the narratives that shape you now
✶ imagining your future self in new, beautiful possibilities
✶ creating a small literary artefact for what’s emerging: a poem, letter, mantra, or fragment from that future

Think: speculative self-inquiry meets quiet future-making.
Just a tiny opening, with tea.

You don’t have to share anything out loud.
You don’t need any previous writing or futures experience.
Just bring a pen, a story you’re tired of, and whatever shape your heart is in that day.

The workshop is hosted by Bianca Muresan, a futures designer and facilitator interested in the spaces where imagination meets reflection meets care.

Join Elżbieta Wójcik-Leese (guest author and artist) and Ruxandra Chiujdea (host) for an informal conversation interwoven with readings from Elżbieta’s visual hybrid text, composed also as part of her creative ambassadorship for the Møn UNESCO Biosphere.

‘Chalk as compressed record-bearing strata: fossil texts of coccoliths’, glaciers’ and
cliffs’ movements, amended by flint, sea and storms. This work writes into our relationship with landscape. From private encounters to geological history, these site-specific “white paintings” choreograph our concern.’  

fuss fee - 25 DKK

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 14:00 - three hours of learning, practicing, and networking.

a new tarot deck for you to take home 

coffee, tea and snacks

another surprise gathering, gather-all, mini mini whispery open mic!

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.

It’s After the End of the World, Don’t You Know That Yet?

Many of us know the line that “it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism”, but if that is the case, maybe we should try going for the easier option? It’s not like living through COVID, the specter of AI uprising, the upsurge of fascism, rampant capitalist extraction and the resulting unfolding ecological crisis make it a difficult thing to do.

But how do we imagine the end of the world while not becoming self-serious pessimists (nor, for some of us, self-pitying white folks upset that now things are getting real) while staying with the trouble of living in it and wanting a different world?

This time in WTFIGO, we are going to talk about what makes a world, what makes them fall apart, what makes us want to be in a world and what makes us want to change it. Working with ideas from the composer, Sun Ra (“It’s After the End of the World, Don’t You Know That Yet?”), and the theorists, Martin Savransky, Lauren Berlant and Fred Moten, we are going to see how capitalist modernity has tried to make its world the only game in town by attaching us to wants we don’t want. And talk about how we might move with the “trembling of togetherness” at the end of this world, and what it means to “believe in another world in the world” that we want to be in.

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 Aesthetic Theory.

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. 

Trabajamos en grupos a partir de los materiales de cada uno. 

Para cada encuentro hay una lectura que se comparte previamente y se comenta en clase, y una consigna para aquellos que necesiten un empujón para seguir escribiendo.  Creo en el taller de escritura como un espacio de concepción de los libros que me gustan. Un espacio abierto para avanzar de la mano y seguir, no tan solo.

La idea de este taller es encontrar la voz de cada uno, explorar algunos textos que nos inspiran a escribir y pensar la literatura, armar un espacio de contención para trabajar nuestros proyectos literarios y poder avanzar con ellos, realizar algunas consignas y afilar el ojo de la escritura juntos. Compartir literatura y armar una pequeña comunidad para pensarla durante los meses que siguen. 

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.

We work in groups, starting from each person’s own materials.
For every session, there’s a reading that is shared beforehand and discussed in class, plus a prompt for those who might need a little push to keep writing. 

I see the writing workshop as the place where the books I love begin to take shape.

The idea of the workshop is to find each one’s voice, to explore some texts that inspire us to write and to think about literature, to create a supportive space where we can work on our literary projects and move forward with them, to try out some prompts, and to sharpen our literary eye together.

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.

Multilingual Kinship with Nature
Wednesday November 5, 18:30-20:00

How do we cultivate kinship with the natural world and its more-than-human inhabitants through language? Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's thinking on the grammar of animacy in Potawatomi and English, we will experiment with her recommendations to also include grammars of other languages brought to our conversation by those who will join us for the evening. We will read short excerpts from Kimmerer's The Democracy of Species, and try out various strategies in writing. Expect fun invitations to write mini-texts in order to help us reflect on Indigenous and our own ways of relating to nature.

Please bring something to write with and on. No knowledge of grammar required :) Texts only shared if you want to.

Join the conversation between friends Annie Spencer and Mikkel Krause Frantzen on Annie’s new book, How To Break An Addiction: A Method-in-a-Manifesto for Quitting Capitalism. The book takes the present day US Opioid Epidemic as a jumping off point for exploring capitalism’s existential quest for growth’s, framing the system as the true fiend threatening life the world over.  In a blend of memoir, research and social theory, the book explores the long- and short-run factors that collided to produce the epidemic, and includes a tour through opium’s role in earlier phases of imperialism as well as an analysis of the neoliberal turn’s “breaking the backs” of the blue collar working class.

With relevance to the European context, the book explores how dislocation, pain and personal-responsibility narratives fed the formerly unionised working class into algorithmic right-wing rage machines, and what we must do to create the world otherwise. The “method-in-a-manifesto” element talks about undoing capitalism’s paradigm, taking aim at economic logic and partitioned ways of seeing, and models how we take a decolonized, relational leap in the our collective consciousness toward revolutionary ways of seeing and being together.

Annie Spencer is a writer, educator, organizer, and artistic researcher from the US based in Sweden. Annie has a PhD in Geography from the CUNY Graduate Center and has taught economics, economic geography, and cultural politics at universities in the US and organized against debt and state abandonment of people who use drugs. How to Break an Addiction is their first book. They are working on a second, The We Know How To Party Program. Their current project The We Know How To Party is a popular education, culture and consciousness effort focused on relational healing and collective capacity building that asks how we might compost capital to arrive back at a liveable way of life on Earth.

Mikkel Krause Frantzen is associate professor at the University of Copenhagen and literary critic at the newspaper Politiken. He is the author of several books, including En fremtid uden fremtid (2018), Going Nowhere, Slow - The Aesthetics and Politics of Depression (2019), Klodens Fald (2021) and The Birth of the Financial Thriller - Making a Killing in the 1970s (2025). He is currently working on a book project tentatively titled The Green Gambit - Manifesto for the Climate Endgame.

Along the way, the show digresses into unexpected territory – touching on Valhalla, Mars bars, billionaires, Austrian wine, sparkling water, free coffee, and much more.

At the heart of the confusion stands Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain, a urinal turned sculpture in 1917, which was voted the most influential art work of the 20th century in 2004.

Driving the Doubts Away features 200 illustrations and five original songs.

OLOF OLSSON is a product of the 1960s charter tourism industry. His Dutch catholic mother and Swedish protestant agnostic social democrat father met in Mallorca. In his youth, Olof dabbled in photography, journalism, and pirate radio DJing. He later studied English, philosophy and translation theory at Lund University before attending art school at Konstfack in Stockholm and the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. Olof’s first exhibition, in 1992, was a fictitious story about a photographer suffering from photomania. He has been performing info comedy since 2007.

Duration: 110 min with a 15 min interval

*An info comedy consists of 40% information, 30% comedy, 20% autobiography, and 10% melodrama.

Be in hyper-writing-focus on the three Saturdays and on Monday share your work-in-progress, read aloud, and get some feedback. You share a piece of writing and also share what kind of feedback you might be looking for, and you get: 

• An audience that is not your partner, roommate, siblings, or parents, - some fresh ears, who will listen, ears perked and hearts open 

• People who KNOW the vulnerability involved in this, they know the messy and the frustrations of work in progress who will give you some nudges and new ideas to explore!

• That vibe and space and the crowd that we’re often hungry for - where are the other writers in the neighborhood you might ask yourself? Maybe some of them will show up to this and you can meet them, who knows, it will be a fun surprise! 

It will be in English - All genres // all kinds of voices welcome! Multiple times published to never published to don’t care about being published - all welcome. This is for people who enjoy writing, who want to share, who are both willing to receive and provide encouragement, because we all need that these days.

No facilitation here - just a desk, your writing, a friendly vibe with some sprinkles of chatter - and just dedicated time to write. No more excuses for me and you both. 

The ticket includes access to all four dates.

(the hope is to establish a little dynamic group that is keen on writing and sharing)

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 14:00 - three hours of learning, practicing, and networking.

a new tarot deck for you to take home 

coffee, tea and snacks

Nobody enjoys burnout.

It’s painful, upsetting, and massively disruptive to your life. Burnout is more than just the exhaustion of having too much work or the stress of having too many responsibilities. It usually features these things, but they are made all the worse by being colored by disappointment. The disappointment that your dream job, relationship, or activist project turned out, in reality, to be horribly exploitative labour, a repetition of the last one, or dogged by disorganisation and systemic resistance. But burnout is common, and some of us end up with it over and over again. So, it is worth asking, how did we get here? What promised pleasures draw us past the point of too much labour and personal investment with little or no reward? This time, we are going to talk about burnout as we experience it in a society of what Mark Fisher called Capitalist Realism. A society that tells us there is no alternative to neoliberal capitalism. And we are going to see what Deleuze’s theory of masochism, as an attempt to control and indefinitely postpone pleasure by implementing contracts with sadistic institutions, tells us about how capitalist realism exploits our vulnerabilities and desire for meaningful enjoyment to keep us too burnt out to challenge it.

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 Aesthetic Theory.

“Kill yr idols
Sonic death
It's the end of the world
Your confusion is sex”

(Sonic Youth, Kill Yr Idols)

What do we talk about when we talk about indie? How the fuck did we go from teenagers recording tapes in their bedrooms to indie-sleaze aesthetics on high fashion runways? Should we leave Spotify, and if so, what’s the alternative? How did Instagram and social media twist the very idea of independent music?

This free introductory session will dive into all of this while launching DIY or DIE, a new reading & discussion club on indie music and its ambiguous role within (and against) capitalism. We’ll also outline the club’s structure and preview the books we’ll read together. Expect music, videos, and maybe some surprise guests along the way.

Full program pass: 400 kr (subscription optional after this free intro session)
The fee (after taxes) will be donated to pro-Palestine organizations.

(single sessions will be posted based on availability a few days before each event and will cost 150 kr)
