Launch party, Saturday 25 May, 6 → 9pm

With coffee cup readings by Tina Stefanou and DJs, Zourry, Lizzy Nice and General Feelings.

"Let me make you a cup of Greek coffee and read your creative future. Together we will delve into peasant reading practices in the form of Greek coffee divination.
Will you get that next grant? Will you finally make that painting? Are you going to take on more study? Will you finally get secure employment? Will you be invited to a big show?
Using metabolic processes of consumption and co-constitutional forces, I sit with people one on one to navigate the abstractions of neoliberal art-making. I invite the public to drink, sit and read caffeinated imagery with me, in a hope to make legible the illegibility of art futures." — Tina Stefanou
