Come for the magazine. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something to remember.

Why Arts & Coffee?

We created Arts & Coffee to bring the magazine off the page and into the room. The experience is about creating a space where art can be looked at, questioned, discussed and shared with people who are genuinely curious about the stories behind it.

It is also an opportunity to experience the Orà duku Magazine differently: not simply as something to read, but as a starting point for conversation, discovery and connection.

Spend an evening with Orà duku’s Magazine; discover its stories, sit with its artworks, and engage in thoughtful conversations around the ideas they provoke. From intimate table conversations to carefully prepared bites and coffee by Daily Grind, every part of the experience is designed to feel relaxed, intentional, and deeply social. Guests will also get to experience a selection of products from our sponsoring partners, with special goodies to take home.

Magazine conversations

Three works, three questions. These are the conversations the tables will start with.

Acrimony (2022)

Can you hate someone you once loved, or does hatred prove the love never really left?

Opkɔnɔ tsuru jwɛnamɔ (2024)

What did we lose when eating together became something we had to schedule?

Small feet, big heart (2025)

What happens when childhood is stolen, all in the name of responsibility?

Behind the evening

Different crafts, same conviction: good conversation deserves a good setting.
