So, you want to know what the fuck is going on? But do you really need to know? And why on earth would you want that? It can sometimes seem like the world is telling us to want the wrong things. Things we don’t need. And, at the same time, the world tells us that the things we want are wrong. Why would you want to live in a polyamorous, affordable eco-commune when you could live the nuclear family dream in a heavily mortgaged apartment? Why would you want a job that feels meaningful when you could have a job that is a bit evil but well paid? Why would you want to give your money to help starving children in Gaza when you could buy a labubu for your bag?

This time in WTFIGO, we are going to talk about why our wants and needs don’t seem to be being met in this world of ours by looking at two theories of desire: The psychoanalytic concept of desire as the result of an unfulfillable lack (ripe for consumerist exploitation), and Deleuze and Guattari’s idea that desire is a relentlessly productive force (that might spill into schizophrenia). With these, it should be a little easier for us to know what we need to do to figure out what the fuck is going on, and why we want to know.

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.

(in case it gets sold out too fast we might add another workshop on Thursday, September 11th, 18:15-20:15)

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.

Since its original publication in Danish, Emma Holten’s Deficit: How Feminist Economics Can Change Our World has become an international bestseller and been translated into more than 10 languages. The book is a powerful introduction to feminist economics (which is what you call economics when it actually acts like a body of knowledge that corresponds to reality) and the chronic neglect of care in capitalist societies.

In conversation with the book’s English language translator, Sherilyn Nicolette Hellberg, and the cultural critic, Macon Holt, Emma will unfold some of the important ideas, perspectives and struggles from her book and reflect on how these ideas travel and make an impact in translation.

Emma Holten is a feminist activist and gender policy consultant. In 2014, she created the project CONSENT, raising awareness of digital sexual violence. Since 2019, she has worked with feminist economics. She served on the European Institute of Gender Equality Experts Forum as an expert in feminist economics and on Human Rights Watch’s advisory committee on Women’s Rights. In 2023, she was appointed as advisor to the Danish government’s investigation of power in Denmark.

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 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.

Copies of Deficit: How Feminist Economics Can Change Our World will be available for purchase and signing.

Ever feel like you’re too much of a failure of a person even to begin to get a grasp on what the hell is going on? Like, who are you to even ask? This is a pretty big question when you think about it, but you can break it down a bit. One way is to think about who you are socially. What is your identity? How did you get it? What does it mean to whom? And Ihow do you pull it off? This time, we are going to think about performance and performativity by diving into the notoriously complicated work of Judith Butler, who argued that gender works through continuous psychological and social performance.

Together, we are going to discover how simple and powerful this idea really is, how it can help us figure out what is going on in a lot of social spaces, and how being a failed performance is exactly how to be a person in this economy.

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

Hypertext Markup Language is the web standard for displaying documents in a web browser. It defines the content and structure of websites, and can define the style more than you might think!

In August 1991 it was used to create the first website. That’s 34 years of websites! To celebrate we will check out some of the best motherfucking websites and make our own.

Bring a laptop and a blanket. We will be sitting in the grass in the garden in the back. All ages and species are welcome.

The linocut is a bold, old-school printmaking technique that evolved from traditional woodcut (xylography). Instead of carving wood, we use linoleum—a softer, more flexible surface ideal for engraving intricate designs. Once carved, ink is rolled onto the surface and transferred to paper under pressure, creating a powerful mirror image of your artwork.

As lead artist and instructor, Fausto will share both technical skills and personal insights into linocut, covering carving, inking, and printing, along with the stories behind his work. Whether you're new or looking to grow your practice, this 4.5-hour workshop will guide you through designing, carving, and printing your own linocuts. All materials are included, and you'll explore how this bold medium can be a tool for personal expression.

A read and write together: weekend writing hours (June 7th and June 21st, 12-16) plus a sharing evening (on Monday, June 23rd, 18:15-20:15)

• 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.

“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.”

Bring a book to the bookshop (hihihihi)

Rotating six-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.

Hey lovely Tarot Readers, now we are getting serious! 

This class is for the bold and brave, so perfect for all of you who have previously attended a Tarot Workshop or already have a basic knowledge of Tarot. 

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

The workshop includes:

11.00 to 14:00 - three hours of learning and practicing,

coffee, tea and snacks

A read and write together: weekend writing hours (June 7th and June 21st, 12-16) plus a sharing evening (on Monday, June 23rd, 18:15-20:15)

Be in hyper-writing-focus on the two Saturdays and share 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. 

Come sit and write write write on a weekend morn with all of the creative juices flowing at a desk behind the bookshop alongside others who want to do the same. Tea/coffee will be provided. No facilitation here - just a desk, your writing, a friendly vibe - and some focus time to write dammit! No more excuses for me and you both. 

We do this at first once a month but we might go towards 2x a month after we see how it goes, the hope is to establish a little dynamic group that is keen on writing and sharing.

We have one free spot, please see below:

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

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.
