Tracing the Everyday Drawing Objects - Line, Tone & Composition workshop
This hands-on drawing workshop invites you to slow down and observe everyday objects through guided drawing exercises. We’ll focus on line, tone, and composition, learning how to see form, proportion, and light in simple subjects while building confidence in drawing.Through a mix of structured practices and open exploration, participants will experiment with shading techniques and compositional choices using pencil and ink.
The workshop emphasizes play, curiosity, and accessibility, making it suitable for beginners as well as those with some drawing experience. You will take home one or more finished drawings and will will learn/practice:
how to observe and translate form, tone, and texture into line drawings
basic shading techniques using pencil and ink
how to create balanced and engaging compositions

secrets in the dark // open mic
24th of January 6:30 pm
Come join us in the back of the bookstore and dredge up whatever gold you can mine from your personal belongings: notes app entries, text messages, (teenage) diaries, voice notes, memories.
Whether you have produced a finished piece of writing or committed three words to the page, come and read it.
If you are thinking of submitting a piece to our open call, this is the perfect opportunity to receive encouragement and feedback. If you have written something too ephemeral to print, even better. Above all, this event is about offering each other a judgment-free space to share our personal writing and winter-facilitated angst.
Let's share our secrets in January - they stay in the dark!
entry is free, but please rsvp :)

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 14:00 - three hours of learning, practicing, and networking.
a new tarot deck for you to take home
coffee, tea and snacks
Scenario: Self (a speculative self-fiction and futuring workshop)
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.
What the Fuck Is going on? - the last one for now
What the Fuck is Next?
In keeping with the prevailing chaos and change of the present, WTFIGO has come to a close for now. So, this is the last session for anyone who has found value in these workshops (tools, community, friendship, ideas, etc.). No gatekeeping, if you think this is you, it’s you. This time, there is no “lecture” but a chance to bring your own takes or reflections on anything that has come up for you in the previous months. We’ll also talk about how to go further into all this messy stuff and the kind of steps we can take to help each other deal with whatever the fuck is going on.
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.

This space is for people who are tired of performing but still inside the system.
For artists, writers, thinkers, and over-online bodies.
For those who scroll too much and think too much.
We read. We unlearn. We make things.

creative upcycling workshop - winter gnomes
“If you have a love for handmade things and you’d like to learn how to make your very own little nisse (as these gnomes are known in Denmark) — join me for the cosiest creative afternoon!
Using needle and thread, we’ll transform preloved fabrics into beautiful festive decorations!
It’s probably not the first time you hear how big the environmental impact of the fashion and textile industries is, or that it’s estimated there’s currently enough clothes in the world to clothe the next 6 generations. Early on my sewing and crafting journey this felt very limiting, as I didn’t want to be part of the problem.
But limitations also drive creativity: What if that top you no longer wear can become a headband? What if you check the fabric section of your closest thrift store instead of buying brand new materials?
In this 3-hour workshop we’ll enjoy the fulfilment of creating with our hands through upcycling, while embracing the cozyness of the festive season - minus the overconsumption it’s associated with. Basic sewing knowledge can be helpful but isn’t required — I’ll guide you through each step of making these cute hanging ornaments! Winter gnomes are perfect to decorate your space for winter, or to give as a special gift to your loved ones.
Can’t wait to create together!”

fun activity for all, children welcome — best suited for ages 8+ (must be accompanied by an adult, child tickets available)

RISO Workshop ⤷ calendar edition ˎˊ˗
This time, we’ll be doing something a little different — choose 1 (or 12!) photo(s) or illustrations, and let’s create your very own Riso calendar poster to get ready for 2026!
We’ll have templates prepared. You can choose to print one big image for the entire calendar or 12 small images — one for each month (using the same set of colours).
Because of the time limit, if you plan to print 12 images, it’s best to pre-select them beforehand :) I’ll share the templates with you before the workshop.
During the workshop, we’ll dive into the basics of Riso printing — from how the machine works to preparing files and separating layers. Feel free to bring your laptop, iPad, or paper sketches. For digital files, we’ll use a simple Photoshop function to fit your design to the template, but no worries if you don’t have Photoshop — we’ll help you with that.
By the end, you’ll take home 5 copies of an A3 calendar printed in 2 colours.
To make sure everyone has enough time to set up and print, we’re hosting a maximum of 6 participants.
The workshop runs for 4.5 hours, including a 30-minute break. There’ll be coffee, tea, and Christmas cookies:)
This workshop will be taught in English.

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