The poems in Dikt samling [Poems collection] were written by Zubair over several years in Agder prison, department Froland, where he was a student at Agder Art Academy (2021-2023) and participated in workshops in self-publishing together with designer and visual artist Marie Payan.
The poems were not written with publication in mind. They emerged as notes, sketches, poems, and reflections on love, loss, family, hope, pain, and freedom. Zubair writes in Norwegian, a language he learned as an adult. Agder Art Academy was an art education and a collective, public artwork initiated by curators Kristine Jærn Pilgaard and Thora Dolven Balke, developed with artists Dag Erik Elgin, Hege Nyborg and Sverre Gullesen, and produced by KORO in collaboration with the Norwegian Prison Service.
