**Maybe you used to draw but fell out of the habit?** **Maybe you’ve always wanted to start, but find it hard to stay motivated?** **Or maybe you're just looking for a friendly space to sketch and meet new people?** **Come draw with us! :)** We host free, casual drawing meetups. There are no rules, no pressure — **just bring your own materials**, draw whatever you feel like, and enjoy the company of fellow creatives. Every session, we propose a theme to spark your inspiration. Please note that if you don’t bring your own material, we’ll ask for a 1€ donation to lend you a pencil and paper. **🚨IMPORTANT INFORMATION🚨 There are 20 spots left empty in average every event.

It’s all about connecting, learning, and having fun. This isn’t a lesson, but you’re encouraged to ask your peers for tips, ideas, or feedback. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned sketcher, everyone’s welcome here. **USEFUL INFO & TIPS** 📍 We meet on the first floor of The Central House Gràcia *(Carrer de Còrsega, 302, 08008 Barcelona)* 👋 Your host, Aina, speaks English, French, Catalan, and Spanish.

Exposición de Acuarela · Curso 2025–2026 El jueves 18 de junio, de 18 h a 21 h, celebraremos la exposición de fin de curso de las alumnas de acuarela de La Pera Verde en La Clandestina de Poblenou (C/ Pere IV, 483 · Barcelona). Durante este último año hemos compartido un espacio de aprendizaje, experimentación y creatividad a través de la acuarela. Hemos explorado el color, la composición, la luz, la observación y distintas formas de expresión artística mediante ejercicios inspirados en la naturaleza, los objetos cotidianos, los paisajes, el collage y la historia del arte. La exposición reúne una selección de las obras realizadas por las alumnas a lo largo del curso y permite descubrir la evolución, la sensibilidad y la mirada personal de cada una de ellas. Más allá de las técnicas aprendidas, es una muestra del proceso creativo, de la constancia y del placer de dedicar tiempo a observar y crear. Os invitamos a acompañarnos en esta pequeña celebración del arte y del trabajo realizado durante el año. La Clandestina de Poblenou (C/ Pere IV, 483 · Barcelona) Jueves 18 de junio De 18 h a 21 h Entrada libre

Buenas de nuevo, gatos curiosos! **El día 20 de junio propongo un plan matinal en el que asistiremos a una sesión a bóveda completa del planetario de la fundación CosmoCaixa y visitaremos la parte del museo dedicada a la Astronomía , la sala universo( no el museo completo, pues requeriría más tiempo.)** **Después de la visita al planetario, propongo que nos traslademos al restaurante temático Verne, dedicado a este gran maestro y pionero de la ciencia ficción.** Este restaurante, ubicado en la calle Aribau, 150, es el ideal para tomarse un refresco y admirar su ambientación , pues parece que estás en un submarino o comiendo en las entrañas de la tierra. **La sesión del planetario es de 8 euros, que incluye entrada al museo. En el restaurante Verne, especializado en tapas y rolls bocadillos con muchos ingredientes, cada uno paga lo que consume.** Espero que os guste este plan alternativo al de la agrupación Astronómica Aster, a la que he renunciado por el alto coste que nos pedían por persona. El presidente nos exigía 30 euros por persona por una hora y media de actividad y , al intentar rebajar el precio, se me ha negado. Se trata de pasarlo bien, pero sin que el precio sea excesivo, al menos esa es mi filosofía en este grupo. Os espero en este astronómico encuentro! Hasta pronto!!

¡Hola a tod@s! Soy Miguel, Doctor en Historia contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up Los que me conocéis sabéis que mi especialización es la historia social y del movimiento obrero, por eso dedicaremos esta ruta a: LA BARCELONA OBRERA, ANARQUISTA Y REBELDE Cronológicamente esta es la primera de las rutas de la trilogía dedicada a la historia social de Barcelona (aunque cada una de ellas es independiente y se pueden hacer salteadas). Parece que la Barcelona actual está decidida a enterrar su pasado anarquista. No será por nosotros. Si te gustan las rutas de temática poco convencional (incluso políticamente incorrectas), ésta es la tuya. Recorreremos lugares míticos, aunque poco conocidos, de la historia y los orígenes del movimiento obrero barcelonés. Conoceremos la dimensión y presencia social del anarquismo en nuestra ciudad, mientras hablamos de huelgas, bombas, insurrecciones, persecuciones y ateneos culturales. Así, conoceremos los acontecimientos clave de la historia del movimiento obrero de la ciudad durante los siglos XIX y XX, tomando como hilo conductor la implantación y desarrollo de las ideas anarquistas en Barcelona. Daos de baja de la actividad si finalmente no vais a poder asistir, Muchas gracias, ¡Os espero! Miguel

**Una tragicomèdia apocalíptica al més estil de Jordi Oriol.** El present ha imposat un ultimàtum a la humanitat, si de veritat vol tenir futur. Mentre un gabinet científic convocat d'urgència dissenya un pla per respondre a la desintegració de la matèria que permet la vida humana, dos germans s'enfronten a la pèrdua del llenguatge que pateix el seu pare, amb la convicció que tot allò que deixa d'anomenar-se, deixa d'existir. Una història de números, explicada amb lletres. Terrenal, però amb el cap als núvols. Autoria i direcció: **Jordi Oriol** Intèrprets: **Joan Carreras** **Mia Esteve** **Carme Milán** **Carles Pedragosa** **Lara Segur** Idioma: Català Durada: 1h 30m.

Books will be available for purchase. **Admission** • $10 per person or Free with a purchase of a book • Free for OHC members • Free for students with a valid ID **About the Book** Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks presents Ohio’s eight UNESCO-inscribed earthworks in a richly illustrated volume from Smithsonian Books.

The book features illustrated descriptions and histories of these Indigenous masterpieces, summaries of archaeological research, insights from American Indian scholars and leaders, and discussions of the earthworks’ design, construction, and cultural significance. **About the Author** John E. Hancock taught architecture, design, and history at the University of Cincinnati for 40 years. He has produced numerous multimedia exhibits and publications about Ohio’s earthworks and served as the principal author and photographer for the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks UNESCO World Heritage nomination.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.
