Calendar
From film screenings and live musical performances to workshops, talks and exhibitions, we curate a year-round cultural program devoted to the cultivation of arts, crops and inner gardens. At our seasonally open Places, we host open houses every Friday.
Open House Simple
We welcome the community to the official opening of Simple, the first step in Slow’s transformation of a scenic stretch of beach just outside the favela-like fishing village of Cova de Vapor on the relaxed northern end of Portugal’s surf-friendly Caparica Coast. Set between the ocean and the dunes, Simple a laid-back beach restaurant just 20 minutes outside of central Lisbon.
Offering views to the open ocean and across the mouth of the River Tagus to Cascais, Simple sits within a raw-wood beach house in deep sepia and earth tones designed by Annabell Kutucu.

Dinner on the Spree
Chef Frederik Bille Brahe previews his plans for the Marina Marina kitchen over a specially curated dinner at the Slow offices. Frederik helped transform the Danish culinary scene with his laid-back, arts-inflected, contemporary vision, opening Apollo Kantine & Bar in 2017 in the historic art space Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Nyhavn and, a year later, Kafeteria in the National Gallery of Denmark, which he designed in collaboration with the artist Danh Vō.
Most recently, Frederik teamed up with Slow to create Sofi bakery in Berlin’s Mitte district. His places are different, but they have a few things in common: very good, unfussy food, a lived-in feel for aesthetics and a vibrant, good-humored social mix where artists, matriarchs, club kids and diplomats might all feel equally at ease.

Jason Kriegler Exhibition
Tulum Treehouse welcomes our new exhibiting artist, Merida-based textile painter Jason Kriegler. Drawing influence from traditional textile design, Jason incorporates abstraction to create contemporary works that blur the lines between painting and textile art. His pared-down paper embroidery paintings suggest organic, biological forms but can also be experienced purely as abstracted combinations of shapes, line and texture.
Despite their simplicity, they have a captivating quality that reveals the complexity of hand embroidering onto paper, enlivened by a sense of depth that only seems to grow with continued examination. The exhibition runs for six months.
