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.

Workshop: “Cutout” Style

Details are reduced to strong contrasts and graphic forms, creating a poster-like illustration that sits between photography, printmaking, and digital collage.

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.
