You are invited to join "With(in) Timewise" a Book Launch, Writing Workshop & Spring Food Experience on 4 April 2026, 14:00–17:00
@themep.ch in Lucerne.
This spring, MEP welcomes achoo.collective for (
@ach.o0 )a special afternoon of writing, seasonal reflection, and shared food.
The event marks the launch of the new prints of With(in) Timewise and the first gathering hosted by achoo.collective at mep. With(in) Timewise is an essay-calendar made in response to the limits of modern time. Inspired by the traditional agricultural calendar of the 24 Solar Terms, it opens a temporality that leaves room for observation, sensation, and slower ways of being.
The afternoon begins with an introduction to the cultural background of the 24 Solar Terms, alongside a sharing of the design and editorial process behind the publication. It then opens into a creative writing workshop, where participants are invited to imagine and create their own “solar terms” — naming rhythms and changes that emerge from the seasons, the land, the body, and the communities we inhabit.
Food is also an important part of the gathering. Guests will be invited to enjoy a spring seasonal serving prepared by the artists of achoo.collective, inspired by traditional seasonal food practices. In response to the event, mep will also create a special drink and a special gelato flavour for the occasion.
Achoo.collective is a collective created in Geneva in 2024 by Ren Ke (
@keren_renke_ ), Chen Weiyu (
@wei.iyu ), and Li Chaolin (
@libing_9 ). Working across art, cuisine, design, and storytelling, the collective creates moments to be shared through exhibitions, meals, workshops, and site-specific exchanges.
MEP is a contemporary art and culture space powdered by Matcha in Luzern, where exhibitions, publishing, food, and interdisciplinary formats come together through everyday experience.
