SUMMARY:Independent Media in Authoritarian Setting
DESCRIPTION:Since the advent of the Arab Spring\, mainstream media in Egypt and the Arab world has become an organ for state power to control public access to news\, often spreading propaganda and misinformation but also functioning as a safety valve for public disgruntlement. Alternative media like Mada Masr and others have been at the forefront of challenging state propaganda and the increasing irrelevance of mainstream media as a trustworthy source of news. As a result\, the state has cracked down on journalists through constant harassment and imprisonment of journalists to spread an atmosphere of fear around the work of a free press. \nIn this conversation with publisher of Mada Masr\, Lina Atallah\, and media expert and professor of Arabic Jacob Høigilt\, we will learn more about the current conditions of the Egyptian press\, the challenges that face journalists committed to the truth.

SUMMARY:Artists and Liberation
DESCRIPTION:The genocide in Gaza has exposed the complicity of our cultural and academic institutions in zionism and related colonial ideologies of extermination\, extraction and unlawful accumulation of wealth. Artists have contributed to a growing vanguard  global movement in solidarity for Palestine and too many have paid the price for their principled stance against oppression. Nonetheless\, artists and cultural producers continue to use their voices as well as their creative commitments to challenge cultural institutions and expose their complicity. \nIn this conversation with Farah Azrak and Hamed Sinno\, moderated by Rana Issa\, we will discuss the responsibility and necessity of art in a world descending towards authoritarianism\, the difficulties of meaning making in times of genocide\, and the problematics of yoking politics to art. \n\nThis event is in collaboration with Kunstnerforbundet. \n\nPlease note that Atelier Kunstnerforbundet Loft is on the 4th floor\, and regrettably not accessible for people with limited mobility. A long-term rehabilitation of the building is in process. Please get in touch if you have questions about accessibility.

SUMMARY:The BDS movement
DESCRIPTION:Strategies of resistance – the legacy and outlook of the BDS movement\nHow can we work together to push our institutions to take a solid stance against Israel’s occupation? Masahat invites to a talk and panel discussion of Boycott\, Divestment\, Sanctions (BDS) as a tool of resistance in arts and academia. \nThe BDS movement has lately gained momentum worldwide but has also faced harsh backlash. Cultural and academic institutions serve as a backbone of Israel’s strategy of normalizing occupation. By partnering with and maintaining relationships with these institutions\, Western organizations and donors become complicit in the continuous injustices committed against the Palestinian people by the Israeli state. \nPROGRAM \n\n10:00-10:15 Serving of light breakfast\n10:15-10:45 Talk by Layal Ftouni\n10:45-11:30 Panel discussion and Q&A\n11:30-12:00 Informal discussion and mingling\n\nIn her talk\, Dr. Layal Ftouni (Assistant Professor of Gender Studies and Critical Theory\, Utrecht University) will discuss the question of Palestine as the limit case of academic freedom and the struggle for justice that academic institutions claim to defend . Drawing on her extensive experience in BDS activism in the Netherlands and other academic contexts\, Ftouni will address the significance of boycott and divestment as strategies of resistance\, and in the context of debates on academic freedom\, decolonization\, and neoliberalism. Moreover\, she will reflect on the legacies of the BDS movement drawing parallels to the South African boycott movement. \nFollowing the talk\, a panel of invited academics and cultural workers who have been actively involved in pushing their institutions to take a stance against Israel to reflect on their experiences and the way forward: \n–Ayman Alazraq (filmmaker\, photographer\, and mixed-media artist)\n–Jassem el Hindi (Artist and choreographer)\n–Hege Hermansen (Professor of Education\, Oslo Metropolitan University) Moderators:\n–Nora Milch (PhD researcher\, University of Oslo)\n–Sarah Kazmi (Interdisciplinary artist and a writer)

SUMMARY:From Nakba to Liberation
DESCRIPTION:As the world watches in horror at the unfolding genocide in Gaza—where over 40\,000 lives have been brutally taken—the Palestinian people\, along with millions of allies who champion freedom\, justice\, and dignity\, are at a pivotal crossroads. The urgency to shift from despair to a focused\, strategic movement for liberation has never been greater. \nBut how do we turn this urgency into reality? Can liberation be more than a distant dream? What shape could it take\, and what tangible steps can we\, as a global community\, take to achieve it? \nJoin us for a keynote that delves deep into these questions\, drawing from extensive studies of successful liberation movements throughout history. Through a powerful blend of historical insights and a keen analysis of the current ground realities in Palestine\, this session will illuminate the path forward for the global movement striving to end the genocide and achieve true liberation. \nBe part of this crucial conversation—one that has the potential to shape the future of a people and a movement.

SUMMARY:Solidarity and its undersides
DESCRIPTION:Listening in to a history on the sidelines\, tracing overlaps between personal history and public history\, witnessing a genocide and morphing through the witnessing\, daydreaming of the moment the war will be over\, remaking a home by the sea in Gaza\, imagining a politics that defaces the universal but that is not stuck in the particular. The aforementioned is a laundry list that tries to unpack solidarity; turning it from a moral act of sympathy and alignment to a mode of engagement where one’s own life from here on is in question. It is an engagement through the troublesome substance of time. \nThis event is in collaboration with Centre for Islamic and Middle East Studies.
