It is possible to dream of a future that is centered and conceived from and for the people? \nIn a region that is often haunted by worn-out clichés full of exoticism and the continuous association with war\, upheaval and religious conflicts\, it is important to highlight the multifaceted plurality of the Arab world and its contemporary art scene. \nThe talk will be a conversation between artists\, around the possibility of turning dystopian realities into a quest for a utopian present and future. In addition\, we will screen short films made by Arab futurist filmmakers\, curated in collaboration with Khaled Saghieh. \nSPEAKERS\nLiliane Chela is a Lebanese graphic designer and multidisciplinary artist living and working in Beirut\, Chlela also produces music for short films and contemporary dance.

She graduated from the ceramics and glass department at Tripoli’s university in 1995 and had a masters of ceramic from Cardiff University of Wales in 2005. Along her educational path she worked on her artistic research with ceramics starting with focussing on the aesthetics of shapes and its expressive possibility within restrictions of material and technology. Since the February revolution in Libya\, she decided to start a long planned project. Bayt Ali Gana (cultural centre based on the work of her late father) in Tripoli suburb. She regards the creation of this alternative institution as a work in process proposing workshops and ateliers throughout its creation. The multidisciplinary space will propose different programs depending on the visitors interests in a reverse programming method. \n\nBasma Ghalayini is a Palestinian translator and interpreter. She is the editor of Palestine +100 anthology which poses a question to contemporary Palestinian writers: what might your home city look like in the year 2048 – exactly 100 years after Nakba. \n\nModerator Dalia Al Kury is an award-winning filmmaker and author of 11 documentaries.

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:20191123T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20191123T180000 DTSTAMP:20260428T151504 CREATED:20191115T114954Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200127T132758Z UID:2591-1574521200-1574532000@masahat.no SUMMARY:حوار مفتوح: (مـ)ساحات التغيير في دول الربيع العربي DESCRIPTION:يسرُّ سبيس ومركز الخرطوم للفن المعاصر دعوتكم إلى حوار مفتوح باللغة العربية مع فنانين وأكاديميين من العراق وفلسطين وسوريا ولبنان والسودان للتفكير في مساحات التغيير في دول الربيع العربي منذ الموجة اﻷولى للمظاهرات في 2011، وما لحقها من ثورات مضادة وصراعات مسلحة ومروراً بالموجة الثانية من الثورات الشعبية التي شهدتها هذا العام السودان والجزائر ولبنان والعراق. \nتشترك قصص التغيير عبر دول الربيع العربي بالمكانة المركزية التي شغلتها الساحات والميادين العامة حين استعاد ملكيتها المتظاهرون وأطلقوا منها صيحات التغيير اﻷولى بعد عقود من احتكارها من قبل سلطات الاستبداد. \nفي محاولة لفهم ديناميات موجات التغيير وتداعياتها في الدول المختلفة، وبعيداً عن النوستالجيا والقراءة الرومانسية للواقع، سيبدأ الحوار بجولة سريعة على ساحات (ميادين) التغيير حيث سيتحدث كل ضيف عن واحدة من هذه الساحات من بلده الأصل، ورمزيتها في التأثير على موجة التغيير. \nبعد ذالك سيتوسع الحوار بمشاركة جميع الموجودين لنقاش مساحات التغيير الممكنة اليوم في بلادنا ودورنا كجاليات في المهجر. \nضيوف الحوار: \n\nعمر محمد (العراق)، مؤرخ من الموصل ومؤسس عين الموصل.\nعليا مالك (سوريا/أمريكا)، محامية حقوق مدنية وصحفية ومؤلفة كتاب “الوطن الذي كان بلدنا: مذكرات من سوريا”.\nرنا عيسى (لبنان)، أستاذة مساعدة في الجامعة اﻷميريكية في بيروت وعضوة مؤسسة لسبيس.\nنديم خوري (فلسطين)، أستاذ مشارك في كلية بيوركنس في أوسلو.\nفضلابي (السودان)، فنان تشكيلي ومؤسس لمركز الخرطوم للفن المعاصر في أوسلو.\nأماني سليم (مصر)، طالبة دكتوراه في جامعة برغن.\n\nسيأخذ الحوار صيغة حلقة مفتوحة ولذلك سيعتمد على التفاعل والمشاركة من قبل الحضور. سيتم تقديم مأكولات خفيفة الساعة 17.00. \nيستضيف هذا الحوار المفتوح المشاركين في مؤتمر القضية السورية-النضال ﻷجل الوطن The Question of Syria 2019 – The Struggle for Home الذي سيجري في اليوم السابق، يوم 22 نوفمبر في ليتراتورهوسيه. بما أن المؤتمر سيكون بالإنكليزية، اخترنا استضافة المتحدثين في هذا الحوار المفتوح باللغة العربية لإتاحة المشاركة لعدد أكبر من أعضاء الجاليات العربية في أوسلو. \nالدخول مجاني ومفتوح للجميع. ولكن يرجى تسجيل اﻷسماء عبر الضغط على رابط البطاقات: https://bit.ly/2rEOOAk لأن اﻷماكن محدودة وسيتم طلب أكل حسب العدد الموجود URL:https://masahat.no/event/%d8%ad%d9%88%d8%a7%d8%b1-%d9%85%d9%81%d8%aa%d9%88%d8%ad-%d9%85%d9%80%d8%b3%d8%a7%d8%ad%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%aa%d8%ba%d9%8a%d9%8a%d8%b1-%d9%81%d9%8a-%d8%af%d9%88%d9%84-%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b1/ LOCATION:Khartoum Contemporary Art Center\, Bernt Ankers gate 17\, Oslo\, Oslo\, 0183\, Norway CATEGORIES:Samtale,عربي ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/TheStruggleForHome-Arabic.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20191129T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20191129T093000 DTSTAMP:20260428T151504 CREATED:20191123T213057Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T200421Z UID:2646-1575016200-1575019800@masahat.no SUMMARY:Update from Northern Syria: Humanitarian Response\, Impunity and Localization DESCRIPTION:The situation in Northern Syria has severely deteriorated in recent weeks. Although the dynamics of the conflict and the impact on the ground vary from east to west\, civilians are at risk across the region. On November 14th\, in his briefing to the Security Council\, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator referred to reports from early November that over one hundred airstrikes were launched on Idlib and surrounding areas. This is a region of 3 million people that has been targeted since April 2019 by Russia\, its militias and the Syrian Army. On 4 and 6 November\, four separate health facilities were damaged. Civilians in northwest Syria remain trapped under fierce airstrikes by the Russian and Syrian air force and on the ground\, they suffer under the presence of Hayat Tahrir al Sham\, a UN-listed terrorist organization. \n  \nIn northeast Syria\, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights verified that 49 civilians have been killed by a combination of air strikes\, ground-based strikes\, sniper fire\, and executions by armed groups. Although hostilities have de-escalated since late October\, clashes continue in border areas\, civilian infrastructure is damaged\, more than 70 000 people remain displaced\, and 1.8 million people are in need of humanitarian aid. \n  \nAfter more than eight years since the war in Syria began\, with well documented violations of the IHL\, including attacks on civilians and humanitarian workers\, questions abound in terms of how perpetrators can be held accountable and what scenarios for transitional justice can be envisioned. \n  \nIn the midst of this deteriorating environment for humanitarian action and for IHL\, and a worsening humanitarian situation\, local aid workers are at the forefront of the humanitarian response. Yet\, despite a growing international interest in localization\, local organizations are often under-funded and left to shoulder the danger their humanitarian cadres face in the riskiest areas. \n  \nThese developments raise questions that need to be addressed\, including: \n\nWhat are the most urgent needs in northern Syria?\nHow can Norway further contribute to a principled\, effective and localized humanitarian response?\nWhat should be done to ensure accountability\, justice and restore respect for IHL?\n\n  \nThe PRIO Middle East Centre\, the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies and SPACE (Syrian Peace Action Centre) welcome you to this breakfast seminar with three Syrian experts\, Fadi Al-Dairi\, Hayma Alyousfi and Ferhad Ahma\, representatives of Syrian diaspora and civil society networks. They will give an update from the ground on the humanitarian situation in Northern Syria\, address these questions and discuss how Norway can further support a principled\, effective and localized humanitarian response. \n  \nTea\, coffee\, and a light breakfast will be served. \n  \nSpeakers\nFarhad Ahma is the co- founder and CEO of PÊL- Civil Waves \, an organization working primarily on peace building and development in northeast Syria. Farhad was elected a member of the city council in Berlin-Mitte and a regular guest at German media outlets as an expert on Syria. \nFadi Al-Dairi is the co-Founder and Country Director for HIHFAD Foundation (Hand In Hand for Aid & Development) which was founded in the UK in response to the crisis in Syria. HIHFAD is a member of SNA (Syrian NGO Alliance) and Fadi serves as the current Chair of the Board. SNA members (currently 22 NGOs) are some of the largest humanitarian actors inside Syria. Fadi is also the current Chair of the Board for NGO Forum. \nHayma Alyousfi is the Advocacy and Outreach Manager with “Local Development and Small-projects Support” (LDSPS) and was elected as the president of Shaml CSOs Coalition in Gaziantep/ Turkey. She holds MA in Risk and Security from Durham university/ UK. \nThe seminar will be chaired by Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert (PRIO). \nDiscussant: Pinar Tank (PRIO) URL:https://masahat.no/event/update-from-northern-syria-humanitarian-response-impunity-and-localization/ LOCATION:PRIO\, Hausmanns gate 3 \, Oslo\, 0186\, Norway CATEGORIES:Samtale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/7160544558_5f840b8fa1_c.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
