This calendar began as a personal habit.

For years, I've been collecting open calls, workshops, talks, launches, exhibitions, reading groups, screenings, public gatherings, and other things happening across digital culture, fashion, art, technology, and the blurry spaces in between. Most of them eventually disappeared into newsletters, browser tabs, notes apps, bookmarks, or archive folders.

At some point it seemed easier to organize the pile than continue hoarding it.
So this is a public calendar: a continuously growing collection of events, opportunities, and meeting spaces gathered from many corners of the internet and shared forward.
The calendar is open for submissions.
The calendar is intentionally cross-disciplinary and not restricted by geography or timezone. Physical, remote, and hybrid formats coexist here. You'll find exhibitions alongside workshops, book launches next to conferences, reading groups next to open calls, and public programs next to experimental gatherings.
There is no claim of completeness. The calendar reflects what passes through my field of vision, what I find interesting, what I want to attend, or what I wish I could attend.
Think of it as a collective agenda, a public bookmark folder, or a lightly curated map of things happening across multiple communities at once.

the Softwear Calendar

From my archive pile to yours: a public calendar. A continuously growing collection of events, opportunities, and meeting spaces gathered from many corners of the internet and shared forward. The calendar is intentionally cross-disciplinary and not restricted by geography or timezone. Physical, remote, and hybrid formats coexist here. You'll find exhibitions alongside workshops, book launches next to conferences, reading groups next to open calls, and public programs next to experimental gatherings. Think of it as a collective agenda, a public bookmark folder, or a lightly curated map of things happening across multiple communities at once. From my archive pile to yours.

How can I browse the calendar?

The only way to access this calendar is through a calendar app.

To subscribe, select the app you use below and follow the instructions. Subscribing adds the calendar to your preferred calendar application and keeps it updated automatically. Because the calendar contains events from many regions, formats, and timezones, your calendar application will automatically display times according to your local timezone.


A Note on Frequency

Some weeks are dense. Others are quieter. The calendar grows according to submissions, discoveries, recommendations, and whatever happens to surface through the ongoing process of collecting.


Google Calendar

  1. Open Google Calendar.
  2. In the left sidebar, next to "Other calendars," click the + icon.
  3. Select "From URL."
  4. Paste the calendar subscription URL.
  5. Click "Add calendar."
  6. The calendar will appear automatically and continue updating in the background.


Apple Calendar

  1. Copy the URL above.
  2. Open Apple Calendar, click on "File" in the menu, and select "New Calendar Subscription".
  3. Paste the URL in the "Calendar URL" field and click "Subscribe".
  4. Set the Auto-refresh frequency to "Every 5 minutes".

  3. Choose Subscribe from Web.

Other

Most calendar software supports subscriptions via iCal (.ics) feeds. Look for options such as:

  • Subscribe to Calendar
  • Add by URL
  • Internet Calendar
  • Calendar Feed
  • iCal Subscription
  • Paste the subscription URL and the calendar should update automatically.

If your software supports calendar subscriptions, chances are it will work. If not, send a message and I'll try to help.

Submissions

The calendar is open for submissions.

If you're organizing an event, workshop, exhibition, launch, open call, public program, reading group, gathering, or another participatory format, feel free to send it over. Physical, remote, and hybrid formats are all welcome. The main criterion is simple: does it create a space for people to meet, participate, learn, exchange, gather, or otherwise encounter one another? If yes, I'd love to hear about it.

This project owes a special debt to PoetiCal, an experimental collaborative publication delivered through a calendar format, created by Javier Arce. PoetiCal demonstrated that calendars can function not only as scheduling tools but also as publishing infrastructures and spaces for collective participation. This project takes inspiration from that spirit while focusing on public events, gatherings, and opportunities.
