‘Portfolio’

Join Dipika Kohli and up to two others in a once-off, real life meetup to discuss ‘Portfolio.’

This is what’s going on. We’re gathering people whom we’ve known or reconnected with, in small circles designed for people who are curious, and who care. That’s what we found out that Cojournals are about. Cojournal has been a long-term project of Kismuth, with many guests over the years and a track record, proof-of-concept that when you make an intentional space for people who are engaged and ready to commit to a short burst of focused time to think and be and dialogue together, cool things pop out. Very cool things.

So, here we go.

Portfolio
A conversation roundtable
Hosted by Dipika Kohli
A project of Cojournal & Kismuth Books.
Goal: Learn about what’s in our Portfolios of Life

We are gonna do a conversation roundtable on this topic. The idea is to choose 4 ‘items’ that you would put into a Portfolio. The portfolio options are:
. Family
. Work
. Foreign-ness
. Something you choose that’s not those things

Come to our meetup on Tuesday 8.30-10PM for a quick, packed conversation about what’s in your portfolio. If this sounds interesting, we have a Cary location I can send info about where we will meet. Bring things to share, write with, we’ll host you with the things we do with Cojournal. Your host is Dipika Kohli. Min 2 Max 4. This event is by invitation only. Thanks!

Tickets are USD 55, payable by Zelle to info [at] designkompany [dot] com or Venmo.com/dipikakohli [Please ask for the tel number you’ll need. Ask through this contact form]. Location will be in Cary, not far from Chanticleer Cafe where everyone who is getting this invite has met up with me at by now. Thanking you:)

Art & Copy Zine Workshop

Experiential learning is all ‘learning by doing,’ and our Art & Copy Zine Workshops are set up so that you get the chance to explore, experiment, and try your hand at making ‘zines.’ What is a ‘zine?’ A mini-magazine. Learn more here.

Our zine club has an international membership and we are starting to discover that there’s for sure an interest in starting a real-life version of our project in the Triangle. We’re going to give it a whirl with a popup style event for you to meet, talk, discover us and our process, and even make something for keeping and taking with you, over the course of a week. Here’s an outline of what we’ll do.

What it is:
Art & Copy Zine Workshop
Sunday August 30
Cary, NC
Tickets $95 per person
Ages 18+
Advance bookings only. Min 2, Max 6

Start to finish publishing so you can make a ‘zine.’

FAQ

What is a zine?

A zine is a mini magazine and anyone can make one.


Do I need to be experienced?

Nope. You can try it. No experience necessary. We have both beginner and advance guests.


What can I expect?

 It’s a chance to make new friends and see what our club creates, as we meet every week and try new things. Together. Let’s find out together what all the participants want to do, and make the experience something that works well for everyone. This is Open Space Technology style of hosting. You can discover something as we go. The main goal is to try something new that might surprise you, and for us to have some time and space to slow down, meet each other, and discover something new about each other and ourselves, too.

You can come ready to try new things, bring your favorite writing and drawing materials, or items to cut and paste into a collage.


What is Art & Copy?

Art & Copy is the zine we make each month together in Art & Copy Zine Club. Member PP says, ‘It is a space to unleash your inner creativity as a writer, you can write about anything. The story you might have in your mind that you had always wanted to share. It can be diaristic or artistic. The possibilities are endless.’


Who is hosting?

It’s hosted by Dipika Kohli (read reviews). She is an author, designer, writer and editor for Art & Copy, a zine club that meets every week. We are on Instagram at http://instagram.com/dkompany.
