UNTAMED OPEN MIKE #7
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

to HOLD YOUR HEART in your teeth, women’s work AUTHOR TALK w. SIMONA BORTIS-SCHULTZ
To Hold Your Heart In Your Teeth is a Romanian proverb that means to brave forward despite fear.
Made by generations of women, the folk garment of the Romanian blouse secured its language through times of fierce changes. This book is a cultural-historical biography of the blouse, from Neolithic beginnings in northeastern Romania and western Ukraine, through the period of folk revival, the communist era, and the post-communist immigration out of the region.
Weaving personal narrative with this historical research, Simona Bortiș-Schultz, author and designer of this book, is a New York-based child of this immigration.
To Hold Your Heart In Your Teeth is an homage as it stands in solidarity with generations of resilient women, writing out the design qualities of this feminine fortitude, and the charm of the garment they made to survive.

I CARE: CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT (Copy)
guest talk illustrated with photographs // Q&A and conversation // invitation to write: ‘encounter your immediate landscape’
Speaker: Margaréta Hanna Pintér (PhD Fellow; School of Archaeology, Centre for Sustainable Futures, Copenhagen University)
As the northernmost island of the Orkney archipelago (Scotland), North Ronaldsay is remote, peripheral and highly exposed to the elements. Since 1832, its landscape has been defined by the so-called Sheep Dyke, a nearly 20 km-long drystone wall that snakes along the coastline and encircles the arable lands in the centre.
Margaréta will tell us about the Sheep Dyke as a structure assembling an ecology of heritage around itself, entangling human and more-than-human beings. How we choose to encounter landscape colours what we see and what we learn. Margaréta will share embodied walking and ambulatory interviews as her ethnographic inquiry into the palimpsestic landscape of the North Ronaldsay Sheep Dyke.
Margaréta’s informal talk will be accompanied by her photographs of the drystone wall and the island. We’ll have time for questions and conversation. We will finish the evening with the invitation to write which will allow us to encounter our own immediate landscapes.
Hosts: Franek (Environmental Humanities PhD Fellow at Roskilde University)
Ela (poet, artist, ‘creative ambassador’ for the Møn UNESCO Biosphere)
25 kr (fuss fee) paid in advance or at the door
Jewelry workshop (earrings edition)
Things are switching up in the jewelry design world this time around - the focus will be on fine silver (999) earrings or earring charms! aaaand if the weather allows it, part of the process will take place outside, where you can get inspired by nature’s fuss.

After an introduction to the clay and jewelry design, you will get the chance to work with it yourself. You will be guided through the whole process, so no experience is necessary! Arta will take the clay creations to her workshop where they will be fired at a high temperature and made into ✰*✰SILVER ✰*wow!*✰

MARKET FUSS #3
pretty much same concept as before: MANY deals on books, plus the BOOK FUSS, flea market (also for kids, by kids), tattoo pop-up w. Fausto, lots of hanging out maybe with live DJ set and some treats for you estomaco, as well.
DRAWING WORKSHOP / CREATE YOUR OWN SKETCHBOOK
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 will last 1 ½ - 2 hours and will include figure drawing with a model, different drawing exercises, prompts & guidance through the process with the goal to start your own sketchbook and keep at it. (+ 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.

workings of the world, untied - AUTHOR TALK w. Mckenzie Wark
On the 8th of May from 18.00 McKenzie Wark will be our guest in the bookstore, all the way from New York (via the internet)!!!!
there’s space for about 25 guests, we’ll talk about her work and all things ranging from being a hacker (to hack is to differ!), capitalism and whatever the heck it is that we’re experiencing now, writing autofiction/autotheory, coming out as trans, dancing!
She lives in New York and is the author of several books, ranging from cultural criticism (The Beach Beneath the Street, Verso, 2011) and political theory (A Hacker Manifesto, HUP, 2004) to lyrical texts that hit you in the feelies and gently poke you to review your humanity (Reverse Cowgirl, semiotext(e), 2020).
I stumbled on these words from Foucault that to me fit the spirit of her work: “a discourse that combines the fervour of knowledge, the determination to change the laws, and the longing for the garden of earthly delights.”
:::::::::YOU CAN GET A TICKET TO THE EVENT SOON (fuss fee 25,-) :::::::::::
“Late in my writing life, I started writing what I’m not ashamed to call autofiction and/or autotheory. They’re not exactly respectable ways of writing, although they have their charms. I think of autofiction as writing in which a character with the same name or attributes as the author appears, but where that character is not attempting to write the truth of the self, in the manner of memoir or autobiography. Selfhood itself is a fiction, and the writing is an account of how the fiction of a self is produced.
I think of autotheory as not too different from autofiction. Both are interested in the perceptual. Autofiction is more interested in the affective dimensions of what’s perceived; autotheory more the conceptual. It’s more interesting to think of autofiction/autotheory as tactics rather than genres, and as a continuity of tactics. I’ll call it the “autotextual”: These practices made this self. These institutions, these historical circumstances. It chanced these slings and arrows.” M.W.

I AM CURIOUS: OPEN TOPICS
Wednesday, 24/04, we’re opening it up for you to bring topics for the open talk.
Send us your suggestions at hello@supertimebooks.com. we’ll see how a community generated session works and we’ll figure out all the details together. EXPERIMENTAL!
The third of a series of talks hosted at the bookstore, not a how-to, but more of an open forum on various subjects of interest with a solid but soft core: libertas philosophandi and a genuine curiosity about others, their practices, their ways of doing, what we can do together and learn from each other.
It’s a serious series, in the only way seriousness can be approached: lightly.
“Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about “the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master.” D.F.W
UNTAMED OPEN MIKE
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.

linocut workshop
Discover the Art of Linocut Printing w. Fausto Bottini
Dive into the world of linocut and create your very own prints on various paper types.
The linocut is an old-school printing technique that emerges from xylography but instead of using wood, a linoleum plate is used to carry out the engraving. To make a print, ink is applied to the surface of the prepared block and then transferred under pressure onto paper. The print is a mirror image of the linoleum block we engraved.
During this workshop you will learn the art of linography and create your prints by exploring different papers.
No previous experience is required, you will be guided during the whole process. All materials are included in the ticket.
So many freaks and not enough circuses - BOOK RELEASE
"So many freaks and not enough circuses" is a photographical portray of "the greatest and second smallest circus in the world". We show the escapades of the circus and its traveling team that built their business on the edge of the spinning wheels of society. A curious group who created a timeless oasis where craftsmanship was above fast technology, driving at 60 km/h around Europe in old trucks loaded up to the eyebrows with postapocalyptic scenography.
And yes ! We will provide a first round of beer to celebrate the book launch.

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

Letters to Lovers #3 zine launch
Letters to Lovers Zine is returning with its third edition.
Much like the previous ones, Issue 03 is a collection of poetry, prose, art, and photography by a wide range of creatives – this time through the lens of Beginnings & Endings. Each of these pieces is a letter in its own right – whether in classic handwritten form or as a different interpretation of the medium – addressing a lover from the past, present, or even the future.
Stretching over 100 pages and featuring 39 creatives, Issue 03 is the magazine's biggest one yet and marks a new beginning of its own, being the first one in the publication's new home of Copenhagen.
(more info about the event soon)
DRAWING WALK
Walk the streets of Nørrebro with a sketchbook, and experience the city through drawing. Drawing forces us to sharpen our sight and look closer, and we discover new details of the city with pen and paper in our hands.
A Drawing Walk is not a classical drawing workshop. We won’t try to depict any historical monuments in a realistic drawing. We will sketch. The two and a half hours will be filled with drawing exercises, often quick and playful, and your personal touch on the drawing is what we are looking for.
We don’t aim to make drawings that look like Copenhagen. We draw to look at Copenhagen.
With Ditte who’s been walking these workshops in Berlin.

I AM CURIOUS: what does it mean to be critical?
Wednesday, 13th of March we’re hosting a talk/conversation about what it means to be critical. Does it just mean being negative? Isn't it just overthinking? Why even do it? What on earth is cultural critique? What is critical thinking? These questions and many more are going to be up for discussion.
with two critical types: Macon Holt of Passive-Aggressive Journal and Anna Ullman, formerly of Information.
ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
The second of a series of talks hosted at the bookstore, not a how-to, but more of an open forum on various subjects of interest with a solid but soft core: libertas philosophandi and a genuine curiosity about others, their practices, their ways of doing, what we can do together and learn from each other.
It’s a serious series, in the only way seriousness can be approached: lightly.
“Learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about “the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master.” D.F.W
FLEA MARKET FUSS #2
A little flea market is afoot. We open the doors beyond the bookstore (there are no doors, just curtains).
Mega neat offers on books, a few tables with goodies from the talented people we share the space with, a special tarot reading booth, hot chocolate, some music and whipped cream, pop-up tattoos and great local goodies to eat if you’re hungry.
PLUS anything you’d like to bring to the table! Make it wild, or fun, or both! Send us an email and pitch us your wacky plan.
I AM CURIOUS: design, publishing and photography
Thursday, 15th of February we’re hosting a talk about publishing and self-publishing, photography and design, with three distinguished guests: Stinus (of Disko Bay), Jacob (of Marrow Press) and Felipe (of Revista OLD) and a distinguished moderator, Amanda-Li (of Formal Settings).
The first of a potential ongoing series of talks hosted at the bookstore, not a how-to, but more of an open talk on various subjects of interest with a solid but soft core: libertas philosophandi and a genuine curiosity about others, their practices, their ways of doing, and what we can do together.
