Our Calendar.
STPLN is a co-created hub, hosting the makers and creators of Malmö that need a space to showcase their work, organize meetups, give a workshop or release a new book, music album etc.
We host around 300 events yearly. Some of them we organize ourselves, most of them are organized by different actors within the creative community of Malmö.
(Events are described in either Swedish or English.)

Happening now.
Workshop: “Pierre’s Squared Collage” Technique
In this workshop you will learn a technique where a photographic portrait is reworked through digital collage, where the image is broken into fragments and reassembled into a dynamic, expressive composition. By layering textures, duplicating elements, and introducing graphic details, the portrait becomes an emotional and energetic visual narrative.
Plastic Extension of Music: Student Exhibition 2026
Explore how musicians transform sound, gesture, memory, and interpretation into visual and spatial artworks. Visitors are invited to experience music translated into space, texture, and material instead of time.
Workshop: “Cutout” Style
In this workshop you will learn a technique where images are transformed into a bold cutout-style artwork using simplified shapes, limited colors, and layered textures. Details are reduced to strong contrasts and graphic forms, creating a poster-like illustration that sits between photography, printmaking, and digital collage.
