Go get your Wednesday-evening-cup-of-coffee at Kaffe and take a step back in time. This evening Kaffe provides you with the opportunity of recalling what’s so great about fiddling with plastic beads
(and this time it’s without the screaming kids and the smell of lunch boxes).
Kaffe will make sure that there is loads of wonderful, multicolored beads and all the other equipment needed.
All you have to do is stop by and rest your mind at the soothing game of putting beads together.

This thursday Copenhagen Photo Festival will be kick started by the opening of the exhibition:
5 x personal projects.
I have taken a small peep and I most say I am truly impressed by the work and the diversity of the subjetcs represented:
Maria Fonfara shows scenes, which most people probably don’t see very often about love, sex and intimacy in the third age, about loosing your partner and accepting the decay of the body.
Christian Holst takes you to Burma, one of the poorest countries in the world, where people are strongly oppressed by social inequality and disrespected human rights.
Thomas Lekfeldt tells the story of three poor, danish families and the missing resources in their daily life, which most people probably take for granded.
Mads Nissen puts a focus on Denmark’s fallen soldiers and shows photos kindly provided by families who have lost someone in the war against terror in Afghanistan.
Last but definitely not least Jonathan Bjerg Møller emphasizes the forgotten food crisis in Niger, where more than 10 million people were starving and in great need of help, but never came even close to the media’s attention because of the simultaneously happening earthquake in Haiti and floods in Pakistan.

The exhibition will run from 9th-19th of June.

Fatamorgana is a photography school in Valby opened more than 20 years ago. They don’t try to follow the trends, focusing on a student’s own approach instead, making the pictures more personal and better appreciated.
You can see it by yourselves at this year’s graduation exhibition which opens in Carlsberg on Thursday with wine and snacks (which are said to be delicious!). And beautiful people, of course.
Facebook event (in Danish).

Free style rappers, break dancers, barbeque, cocktail- & beer bar at Saxogade - one of the most hyggelige streets on Vesterbro – they know how to throw a street party – I know for a fact.
And yes it is friday – parties are everywhere!
