Step past the front gate and wander down the side alley of a quiet suburban house to find a tiny backyard shed.
Inside this shed you will connect, create and experience a system of exchange without currency.
Ioanna Thymianidis has spent isolation converting a shed into a studio, cafe and interaction space in Northcote, Melbourne.
Visitors can expect Greek coffee, tea and sweets… and getting your hands dirty sanding sculptures in exchange for your tab. Rest assured this space is designed to follow Covid-19 regulations. High levels of caution are taken with sterilisation, 1.5m of distance among other measures of safety.
The emphasis on Greece notes Ioanna’s heritage as she reconnects with her roots in this city. This theme also draws on a culture of gathering over rituals of eating and drinking while connecting.
Στούντιο Kαφέ is now open by appointment to the public June 6 - June 26. The only prerequisite to visit is interest to participate.
