AFLYST! (un)told pages launch: Lola Olufemi, Aaiún Nin & UUMPHFF

Dear all,

We’re really sorry to write this, but due to unforseen events, we’re going to have to cancel our launch event. Here is what we’ll do instead:

The bookshop will be open all day Thursday from 10-21. We would still love for you to come by, say hi, talk books, drink a coffee and relax.

Lola Olufemi & Oda-Kange Midtvåge Diallo will have an online talk later this month. We will advertise the details of the events on FB & Instagram.

Aaiún Nin will join the New Poetry event on Sunday.

Uumphff have made a wonderful soundinstallation that will be playing in our bookshop, so you can hear their amazing music while browsing books.

ALL of our other events are still happening (see list in the bottom), there’s still available tickets for a lot of them, and they are as always completely free!!!

We’re so sad to have to do this as we we put a lot into it and were so looking forward, but unfortunately it’s just not possible to make this launch happen. We really hope that you still wanna come by and say hi If you have any questions, just send us an email or contact us on instagram.

Best wishes,

Elisabeth & Maya
