WELCOME TO PATTERIET 💜💛✨
"My name is Andrea and I am behind Patteriet .krea
I make ceramics and illustrations with breasts on them. All my products are unique and it is important to me to show diversity and uniqueness. I have a goal with Patteriet, that we must be more open and honest about the body. It is natural to have long breasts, crooked breasts and small breasts, but in particular also for the breasts and the body to change over time. My focus is honesty and love for the body, with a twist of humor.”

WHAT WE DO::::::

WELCOME TO ! 🚲💛
⚒️⛓️💛🚲 come get your bike fixed by Felipe 🙃 ((after his winter break))
.
“I still remember when I have disassembled my first bike when I was 10 years old. I have put the bearings cup of the hub outside-in, so all the bearings fell out immediately after. So, I could say I have been interested in bike mechanics for a long time”.
🔥. 🔥
When I took over x-cykel rep from Rasmus at the beginning of 2022, I had a very clear goal in my mind: Reduce waste. I think this is the core principle of Leroica cykler, to avoid that people throw away a whole bike, if something can be replaced or fixed.
In the near future, once the extension of the bike shop is completed there are two main objectives to achieve this goal. The first one is to talk to the commune and try to recycle the bikes are abandoned in the streets of Aarhus. And second, is to provide some short workshops, so people can learn about basic bike mechanics.
🌈
Would you be interested?!

At Institut for (X) our fuel is people over profit. How does inclusive urbanism looks like? Us, citizens, we are the employers of the politician’s. Let’s take back the city ❤️✨🏳️!
People Over Profits is centering a new conversation to put working people first. It is time for our political conversation to be centered on those who work the hardest, not those who can afford to speak the loudest..

People coming back from holidays, the city is starting to be fully alive with students again and we are very excited to share with you our weekly program: a collage of activities aiming to satisfy the multi-diverse interests of our guests. From cinema & electronic music, to groovy dance and storytelling.

We are glad to announce you that an Open Air Cinema experience is coming to our neighborhood!
This Wednesday you will have the chance to watch a Scandinavian production with English subtitles: the film BORDER, directed by Ali Abbasi will be screen. An exciting, intelligent mix of romance, Nordic noir, social realism and supernatural tale that defies and subverts genre conventions.

Film review by Phil de Semlyen:
❝ (...). It also chucks in uncomfortable questions about assimilation and the superficial judgments we make of people, as well as plenty of icky moments that bury themselves under your skin and stay there.”

To cover the price of the movie license, attendants are encourage to buy popcorn for 75 dkk. The event is a non-profit project.
https://fb.me/e/24E5PUtCC

On Friday you will have the chance to attend to a DANCE party in our always welcoming A-Huset. Starting groove dance by Nomi at 18 and continuing with Dj Mazeeb at 19:30 to light up the dance floor. From 22 and on Dj Groovy master therapy will be surprising you with guests Djs. Entrance costs 150 dkk at 18 and 100 dkk from 19.30.

Further more, a new cultural platform is landing in our venue! EMBASSY RESIDENCY is dedicated to the documentation and enhancement of hybrid cultures, combining the respective sounds from two different electronic scenes by bringing leading artists together into in-house residencies, exploring the possibilities for co-producing new material.

This Saturday at 20:00, the residence of ZULI (EG) and CROATIAN AMOR (DK) ends with a live performance in A-Huset.

The two artists have been monumental in establishing infrastructure for experimental electronic music in their representative scenes. Both artists have also made big waves in the international scene with their, each very distinctive and highly individual, sound.

Ticket fee is 80kr, 100kr at the door.

Finally, on Sunday at 18:30 in the K-Area another Storytelling circle is coming along.
Come and gather around the warm enchanting fire, and let your souls be carried away by the wonder and magic of stories. All from poetry, rhymes, fables, folcloir, wonder tales, myths, sagas, and autobiographies.
The event facilitator and Artist is Sara Domingo and you should contact her if you have a story to share. Check the practicalities at the event:
