Từ Từ’s friends
Selfmade Spell Book
🪩 Workshop: For those who live in Saigon, Từ Từ is throwing a workshop party to celebrate 2024 Moon Festival. The theme is a witchy hangout to create a spell book that liberates our inner child. There will be a series of empathy exercises inspired by Lynda Barry.
Duration: 2 hours
Elements to make a spell:
* Empathy exercises with strangers * Discarding away something, many things * Purification ritual * Voicing (Chant) * Creativity Purge * Materialization * Intentions
Product to bring home: A physical spell book that you co-create with fellow witches to actualize the intention that you came into the Moon Festival with. But most of all, new wholesome friendships and a more liberated inner child.
Gift from Từ Từ: You will receive (1) many hugs, (2) a sticker package to mark the spell book, (3) materials to make a spell book, (4) a mystery present that captures the witch evening.

Let’s talk about love:
“What’s love got to do with
MAKING A FUSS”
One night during "Making A Fuss PROJECATION", we invited more women over to have an intimate sharing circle about their fusses.
No matter how small the space, each act of voicing, can eventually form a counter-discourse.
We are testing out the concept Projecation (Project + Vacation), coined by Shotaro Yagi. It is the organic structure that enabled us to experience, thus, created the zine "MAKING A FUSS".
At Từ Từ, we organize with an emphasis on empathy instead of "event planning", compassion instead of being "cool", and create what's meaningful instead of glorifying aesthetics.
Projecation
A projecation is a project + vacation combined. The idea is that fulfilling projects and vacations have a lot in common:
* They are supposed to be shared among trusted companions.
* They enjoy and deal with uncertainties.
* They discover one's authenticity by allowing them to do what they love doing.
Vacations are a form of project and projects should be more like a vacation.
* They are supposed to be shared among trusted companions.
* They enjoy and deal with uncertainties.
* They discover one's authenticity by allowing them to do what they love doing.
Vacations are a form of project and projects should be more like a vacation.
- Kitty: “As I started writing about love and intimacy in Project Theory Probe, I want to hold space for more voices. To write about love all on your own, from your laptop screens, talking to your own head sounds contradicting and funny. Now has gone the age of a soloist. If disconnection is at the heart of our global sufferings, we need to re-engineer the way we create, including writing and publishing.
The brilliant idea was to gather people whom I like spending time with and propose a common mission:
creating a collective writing on love. We will go through times of fun and uncertainties together while discovering ourselves in the making of this booklet. The theme topic being, “Making A Fuss”.”
