VLOG | Self-soothing after a rough week (with books & art)
In this week’s video, join me as I self-soothe after a rough week with a trip to the Copenhagen library, some book chat (of course), and a visit to Louisiana Museum of Modern Art for a Marisol exhibition and a lecture by Katy Hessel (author of The Story of Art Without Men).

🌷 ABOUT ZUZU 🌷
Zuzu (aka Elinor Trier) is a neuroqueer AuDHD artist, writer, podcaster, YouTuber, dopamine dealer, and founder of Zuzu’s Haus of Cats, where she creates artwork that celebrates ‘otherness’, reminding you that you're not the 'odd one out', you're 'one of a kind’. Her weekly newsletter is the stuff of legend and has been described as 'a safe space to be exactly who you are'.
Her artwork is in private collections worldwide, and her ideas have been featured in multiple media outlets, including the Nautilus Silver Award-winning book Creatrix: She Who Makes.
She reads ten books a week (the only hint of savant-ism her autism has given her), snorts when she laughs (it’s adorable!), and might actually be a pile of cats in a sparkly trench coat.
