Crispy leaves rustle at our feet and the first fresher winds are announcing that winter is coming soon. Life starts retracting indoors, but not only homewards… This is also a time for indoor music and film festivals, dining out at cozy restaurants or attending fairs like the Baking and Chocolate Fair. Oh yes, this is also the time we like to dress up like ghosts and pumpkins and go trick-or-treating. Let us guide you to some of this months event highlights, things to see and do in Stockholm.

Chelas – There’s a New Mexican in Town
Located at the trendy Hornstull neighbourhood of Södermalm, at Verkstadsgatan 4, you’ll find Chelas, Stockholm’s newest Mexican restaurant. Chelas opened its doors in July of 2019. The name comes from the Mexican slang word for beers and a phrase the Mexicans use when they want to socialise with friends and family: “Saca las chelas”. Literally translated it means “Bring out the beers”, but it can actually be better interpreted as “Let’s have some beers and hang out”.
The wine culture in Sweden is expanding, especially with the increase of vineyards in Skåne in the south of the country. In fact, 42% of all alcohol sales in Sweden consist of wine, and this is very different from brännvin, the traditional Swedish drink that translates as burn-wine. You can of course buy wine from the state owned Systembolaget. However, the only other place that you can buy wine and enjoy a glass is in licenced restaurants and bars that serve food. There are some great restaurants in Stockholm that unite their food and wine menu in perfect harmony, taking equal consideration to both.

Vernissage of 1 Way Ticket a photo exhibition
Kaknästornet, 115 27 Stockholm, Sweden1 Way Ticket photo exhibition
The vernissage will take place on June 1 between 17:00 – 20:00
The exhibition will then run from June 1 to June 30.
The exhibited photos belong to a series of landscapes of Sweden and all around the world called 1 Way Ticket.About 1 Way Ticket (artist statement):
I left Mexico 2006 with a one way ticket in my hand, not knowing when (or if) I would go back. I went to England to study a Master of Arts in Visual Communications, and during my studies, I developed an artistic idea of departure with indefinite duration, which later became the topic of my MA Thesis. I have carefully nurtured this concept over the years, and I call this art of departure 1 Way Ticket.
1 Way Ticket is the art of external action – moving, migrating, and the physical experience of being alive. But it is also the internal journey, the emotional-spiritual side of life, and the coalition of these two journeys manifests through images – through MY art.
The journey of exploration and its expression; that is 1 Way Ticket. With the eye of my camera lens I explore places, and in the images I capture, even if you don’t see me or anybody else, there’s always an element that expresses a feeling or an aspect of the human personality. These images are part of an external and internal journey that has no end. That will keep on evolving.
