Continuing our tradition from previous years\, we invite you to join us for a reading circle and conversation over brunch—a moment to slow down\, connect\, and close the festival together. \nThis year we are honored to host the renowned Syrian author Samar Yazbek\, in dialogue with Rana Issa\, for a conversation on language and solidarity in brutal times. \nYazbek’s literary voice has received international acclaim and numerous prizes. With two short story collections\, seven novels\, and four works of nonfiction—translated into more than twenty languages—her writing has become central to the global understanding of Syria\, war\, and exile. \nIn her forthcoming book Memory of Loss\, Yazbek gathers testimonies from survivors of the genocide in Gaza. Initially hesitant to approach those who had lost everything—unsure if speaking of their grief could matter—she was struck by the persistence of Gazans to tell their stories. Despite despair\, they insisted on being heard. Their generosity with words and time left Yazbek with the feeling of being an eternal guest\, hoping that in return she can offer a timeless recognition of their courage and dignity. \nThrough these haunting narratives\, Yazbek raises questions that will guide our circle: \n\n\nHow can we narrate horrors that seem beyond words? When does silence better reflect helplessness? \n\n\nIn a world where human suffering is reduced to consumable fragments\, can storytelling resist erasure—not to explain or justify\, but to insist on recognition of unspeakable pain? \n\n\nHow can writing preserve truth\, memorialize injustice\, and extend solidarity to people subjected to brutality in Gaza\, Sudan\, and beyond? \n\n\nJoin us at Dattera til Hagen to close Masahat Festival with reflection\, nourishment\, and community. Together\, we ask how language itself can become an act of solidarity.

Historisk sett har mat ofte blitt brukt av kolonimakter som et verktøy for undertrykkelse ved å tvinge samfunn i kne gjennom sult og kalorikontroll. På den andre siden har aktivister over hele verden brukt mat til å reparere samfunnsbånd gjennom å organisere gatekjøkken og matdistribusjon til massene i revolusjonære perioder. I denne samfunnsbyggende handlingen\, som setter fokus på matens rolle i masse­mobilisering\, vil deltakerne få smake og lære om historien til visse retter og de kreative måtene mat har blitt brukt som en form for protest på. \nVåre talentfulle og politisk motiverte kokker (Chef: Thuraya al-Kury\, Sous Chef: Andreas Leibe Delsett) vil tilberede en fire-retters middagsmeny som feirer fellesskapets matlagings- og spisemåter ved å gjenskape retter som har blitt ikoniske og viktige for samfunn i opprør. \nMiddagen vil også inneholde et kulturprogram med musikk\, poesi og fortellinger: \n\nDet blir diktopplesning og boksignering av Tunga mi protesterer mot døden: Palestinsk dikt av Bendik Vada.\nVi får også musikkopptreden med U- 3 som skal spille sørafrikanske sjangerbrytende rytmer med dyp forpliktelse til samfunnsreparasjon.\nMC og historieforteller Mona Abdel-Fadil\n\nDet blir servert 4 retter av kokk Thuraya al-Kury og sous-kokk Andreas Leibe Delsett URL:https://masahat.no/event/bread-dignity-and-social-justice/ LOCATION:BLÅ\, Brenneriveien 9c\, Oslo\, 0182\, Norway CATEGORIES:Litteratur,Mat,Musikk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/dinner.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20240920T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20240920T200000 DTSTAMP:20260502T044453 CREATED:20240814T161343Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250706T112812Z UID:21163-1726858800-1726862400@masahat.no SUMMARY:Vigil for Palestine DESCRIPTION:We are approaching one year of a perpetrated genocide in Gaza with no immediate ceasefire in sight and with mounting threats that a regional war would break out. We are angry and resentful of our impotent politicians and institutions who have so far not stopped the sale of arms to the Zionist entity or took any concrete measure to divest from the Israeli settler regime\, which we view as complicity with genocide and with any escalations into a regional war taking place. We invite activists and Palestine supporters to join us in a nightly vigil to grieve our Palestinian martyrs\, the incarceration and torture of Palestinian children\, women and men\, and the massive destruction and erasure of Palestinian lives\, ecologies and culture. This protest vigil is for us to share our anger and grief in front of the Parliament. This vigil will showcase solidarity with Palestine through artistic commissioned works by Norwegian\, Arab and Palestinian cultural practitioners. \nProgram\n\nOpening address: Kari Veiteberg\, Bishop of Oslo\nPolitical address: Line Khateeb\, Leder av Palestina Komitee\nMoment of Silence\nScreening on Stortingets wall of Videos for Palestine by Video Tract for Palestine\nCollective\, Mira Adoumie\, Islam Shabana\nPoetry Readings by Bendik Vada\, Ninthu Paramalingam\, Mahmud Beshtawy\nCarnivalesque Performance “Songs of Anemone” by Farah Azrak.\n\n  \nThis vigil is a collaboration between Palkom\, Aksjonsgruppa for Palestina and Masahat.

Political struggles continue across regions touched by the Arab spring\, but they also disappear in the conditions of migration and displacement brought about by these struggles. \nThis year’s Question of Syria will focus on these new realities. The Syrian struggle has shown that it is important to think beyond borders\, particularly following the millions of people that have sought refuge in the region\, Europe\, including Norway\, and elsewhere. \nProgram\n17:00 / Searching for Home \n\n\n Time\, Space and People: Untold History of Mosul – Omar Mohammad\n \n\n When Home is Unattainable\, What Replaces it? – Alia Malek\n \n\n Home and Homeland in the Palestinian Right to Return – Nadim Khoury\n \n\nModerated by Joakim Parslow\, Associate Professor – Middle East Studies\, University of Oslo. \n18:30 / Break & Book signature \nDuring the break\, Alia Malek will sign copies of her book\, The Home That Was Our Country: A Memoir of Syria\, which be available for sale in the bookstore at Litteraturhuset. \n19:00 / The Art Of Resistance \n\n\n Reclaiming Home: Visualizing Resistance in Sudan Protests – Cassius Fadlabi\n \n\n Carnival: Celebration\, Protest and Strategies of Art Activism – Camilla Dahl\n \n\n An Update from Lebanon – Rana Issa\n \n\n Reclaim the Streets: Ad-busting as a Tool for Civic Agency and Empowerment – James Finucane\n \n\nTime\, Space and People: Untold History of Mosul\n \n OMAR MOHAMMED\n HISTORIAN \nMosul has been for centuries a city of unique coexistence and had its own identity locally and internationally. Christians were not only leading their own community\, they were the alternative to Rome. Jews were developing their language and had a different life than it was told to us by recent studies. Muslims and other groups worked all together and produce their own products that helped Europe during its industrial revolution. What happened to a city was once on the Silk Road to be a destroyed one? Who are the people of Mosul now? What space they have? and what time they are living? \n \nWhen Home is Unattainable\, What Replaces it?\n\n \n \n Alia Malek\n Journalist \nIn 2015\, Malek traveled from Greece to Germany with a group of Syrians fleeing their country’s disintegration. The refugees had met while marooned on the same raft in the middle of the Aegean Sea. Each of them came from a different part of Syria and from different socio-economic classes. Their sites were set on making it to Sweden and the Netherlands. Some of them would be forced to ask for asylum in Germany. Since then\, Malek has been reporting on their lives and displacement across these three countries as part of a 10 year reporting project. Drawing on this work\, she will consider what replaces the very idea of home when home itself becomes unattainable and its permanence illusory. \nHome and Homeland in the Palestinian Right to Return\n \n Nadim Khoury\n Associate Professor II \nThe right of return has been central to the Palestinian struggle since 1948. What home Palestinian refugees should return to\, however\, has been less than obvious. In this talk\, I want to explore the different meanings of home underlying the right of return\, especially as this right has been recognized\, negated\, and negotiated since 1948. The goal is not only to offer a historical survey but to pose a urgent question: what home should a just peace promise Palestinian refugees\, refugees who have been denied a home for far too long? \n \nPART TWO: THE ART OF RESISTANCE \nReclaiming Home: Visualizing Resistance in Sudan Protests\n \n \n Fadlabi\n Artist \nDuring the Sudan uprising many sudanese in diaspora found different ways to contribute to the revolution. In Fadlabi’s case he made more than a 100 posters about different events to be used in Sudan by his friends. He will talk about that experience and the part that art plays an important role not only in telling the story of revolutions\, but sometime even in shaping the goals of the revolution \nCARNIVAL: CELEBRATION\, PROTEST AND STRATEGIES OF ART ACTIVISM\n \n CAMILLA DAHL​\n Artist \nIn 2019\, the collaborative art project “Carnival – an Intercultural Celebration and Protest” was performed in Oslo as a carnival parade and an exhibition at the Intercultural Museum. Inspired by the traditional carnival\, the aim was to engage artists\, schools\, local communities and activist groups to gather in the carnival to celebrate and protest in creative ways. Together we were to explore how the upside-down perspective of the carnival culture could activate new spaces of political engagement and participation\, and how artistic expressions and strategies could be used to ridicule and resist systems of power. As one of the initiators\, Camilla Dahl will talk about the various forms of projects that participated\, ranging from socially engaged and participatory art to activist protests addressing specific issues. \n \nAN UPDATE FROM LEBANON​\n \n \n RANA ISSA\n Assistant Professor \nRana Issa has been participating in Lebanon protests since the onset of the Lebanese October revolution. She will introduce us to the protesters creative strategies with the major milestones in the revolution drawing on non-violent resistance and inspiration from Sudan and Iraq protests.  \nRECLAIM THE STREETS: AD-BUSTING AS A TOOL FOR CIVIC AGENCY AND EMPOWERMENT​\n \n JAMES FINUCANE​\n Artist \nSubvertising Norway is a non-profit network of artists and activists raising awareness about who has the power to communicate messages and create meaning in public space through acts of creative subversion and art-based activism. Guided by the basic principle that the visual realm in public space belongs to everyone – not only the companies and organisations that can afford to rent our attention – Subvertising Norway provides the tools and know-how for citizens to actively participate in shaping our shared public spaces \n \nSpeakers URL:https://masahat.no/event/the-struggle-for-home-the-question-of-syria-2019/ LOCATION:Litteraturhuset\, Wergelandsveien 29\, Oslo\, Oslo\, 0167\, Norway CATEGORIES:Litteratur,Samtale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/The-Struggle-for-Home-fb.png ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20180907T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20180907T200000 DTSTAMP:20260502T044453 CREATED:20180907T160000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210227T212648Z UID:1752-1536343200-1536350400@masahat.no SUMMARY:Evening with Faraj Bayrakdar DESCRIPTION:Thus\nprison is time\nyou mark the first days on walls\nthe following months on memory\nbut when the years become\na long train\ntired of whistling\ndespairing of a station\nyou try something else:\nforgetting\n– Excerpts from Mirrors of Absence by Faraj Bayrakdar \nWith his short verses\, the award-winning poet and uncompromising dissident Faraj Bayrakdar creates a space to exercise freedom in the face of despair\, inhumanity and struggle against tyranny. \nJoin us for a poetic evening with Faraj Bayrakdar at Melahuset. \nFaraj Bayrakdar and Elena Chiti will have a short conversation before we listen to Bayrakdar’s poetry. \nFaraj Bayrakdar is a Syrian writer and award-winning poet.
