SUMMARY:Frokostseminar: Hva skjer i Idlib?
DESCRIPTION:What is happening in Idlib? Who is protecting civilians and civil space – and whose responsibility is it? \nWelcome to a breakfast seminar with Karam Hilly\, a Syrian civil society activist. Karam will give a unique insight into the current situation in Idlib\, including the situation of the local population and the admirable efforts of local civil society actors. \nFollowing the presentation on the developments in Idlib\, Karam will engage the audience\, including Yngvild Berggrav\, Policy Director\, Section for Humanitarian Affairs at the Norwegian MFA\, in a discussion about the responsibility to protect civilians and civil space\, as well as the role of the international community. \nThe discussion will be moderated by Zeina Bali\, co-founder of Syrian Peace Action Centre (SPACE). \nBackground\nSince late April\, Syrian forces backed by Russian airplanes have escalated their bombardment of Idlib\, with more than 500 civilians being killed in the hostilities\, according to the United Nations. Idlib in north-west Syria is home to about 3 million people — half of whom are already internally displaced from other parts of Syria. Nearly a half million people have been displaced since the Syrian offensive began in late April. Many have fled to crowded camps on the Turkish border or are now sleeping out in the open. \n\nKaram Hilly is a Syrian civil society activist and co-founder of Door Beyond War\, a Syrian organization that works with community development and economic empowerment. Based in southern Turkey\, Karam has been traveling frequently to north of Syria working closely with teams and communities there. His work has activated and supported many youth and community initiatives through tailored project management trainings\, coaching and advocacy. Karam holds a Master of Business Administration from Aleppo University. Originally from Idlib\, Karam studied and worked with the UN and various international and national NGOs and agencies before he left to Turkey in 2014. \nThe event picture is taken from the #SaveIdlib campaign of the Ghouta page\, designed by Ammar Bouidani.

SUMMARY:Flowers from the Rubble: Remembering Raed Fares
DESCRIPTION:At this year’s Oslo Freedom Forum\, the Human Rights Foundation (HRF)\, in partnership with The Syria Campaign\, SPACE\, and Vega Scene\, will feature an experiential exhibition in honor of Raed Fares\, a Syrian pro-democracy activist\, citizen journalist\, and civil society leader who was assassinated in November 2018 in Idlib\, north-west Syria. \nFares was a speaker at the 2017 Oslo Freedom Forum. Two years later\, we are honoring his work and what he stood for with a memorial while highlighting the importance of independent reporting in conflict zones like Syria\, and the role independent media can play in countering extremist narratives. \n“Flowers from the Rubble: Remembering Raed Fares” will be on display at Vega Scene\, and open during operating hours. \nThe exhibition will allow viewers to experience the world of Raed Fares\, from the war-torn village where he lived to the darkest places in Syria where he reported on the ground from\, mobilized peaceful protests\, and to his office where he ran Radio Fresh\, a local radio station that continues to provide Syrians with access to unbiased reporting and that counters the fundamentalist narratives of the Bashar al-Assad regime’s propaganda and extremist groups. \nViewers will also learn how Fares succeeded in building the foundation of a strong civil society and how he managed to inspire and draw the world’s attention to his tiny\, otherwise unknown village. \nWithin the exhibition will be protest banners that brought Fares and his town to the world’s attention; caricatures and videos that Fares and his colleagues created to mock the Assad regime and ISIS; audio recordings from Radio Fresh\, including the airstrike announcements used to warn town residents of incoming attacks; artwork by various Syrian artists depicting the Syrian conflict; photography of the training centers that Fares built; and the speech that Fares delivered at from the 2017 Oslo Freedom Forum stage. \nFree entrance but reserving a ticket is required.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Still Recording
DESCRIPTION:I samarbeid med Arabiske filmdager og Norsk PEN inviterer vi til visning av Still Recording + samtale med regissøren på lørdag den 23 mars kl. 16.00. Filmen følger to kunststudenter i Douma\, en forstad som kontrolleres av opprørere mot regimet. I en periode på over fire år følger vi de to vennene og deres omgangskrets og alt de går igjennom: sult\, angrep og beleiring\, men også latter\, fest og en utrettelig tro på det gode i mennesker. Still Recording vant kritikerprisen i Venezia. \nبالتعاون مع مهرجان الفيلم العربي ومنظمة قلم النرويجية، ندعوكم لحضور فيلم لسّه عم تسجّل مع نقاش بعد عرض الفيلم بحضور غياث أيوب، مخرج الفيلم يوم السبت 23 آذار الساعة 4 مساءً. يرصد الفيلم حياة صديقين في دوما المحاصرة الخاضعة لسيطرة المعارضة، حيث أنشأا محطّة راديو محليّة واستوديو تسجيل. ظلّت الكاميرا بين أيديهما يصوّران فيها كلّ شيء إلى أن صورتهما ذات يوم. يروي الفيلم من خلال تصوير أربع سنوات، ماهي الحياة تحت الحرب بما يتخللها من حصار، قصف، ضحك، احتفالات، جوع وكل ما يجعلنا نؤمن بإنسانيتنا. ربح الفيلم جائزة النقاد في مهرجان فينيسيا. \nWe invite you to the screening of the Syrian documentary film Still Recording on Saturday\, March 23rd at 16.00 followed by a discussion with Ghiath Ayoub\, film director and others. Following two art students in the opposition-held Douma for four years the film captures life under war and all it encompasses from hunger\, siege\, laughter\, bombardment\, celebrations\, and the tireless belief in what makes us humans. The film won the critics’ award in Venice film festival. \nPanelists\n– Ghiath Ayoub\, director of Still Recording\n– Mohammed Alayoubi\, journalist og photographer for NRK\n– Murhaf Fares\, SPACE\n– Elisabeth Eide\, Norsk PEN \nStill Recording\nThis film is an observation of what happened for us\, for all my generation – one that believed in the Revolution. A reflection from a calm perspective\, in an attempts to learn lost or forgotten lessons\, pay tribute or make some excuses.  – Saeed Al Batal \nTwo hours of raw footage distilled from 450 that Saeed Al Batal\, Ghiath Ayoub and six other videographers shot between 2011 and 2015\, Still Recording was smuggled out of Syria on hard drives. It is bleak indeed\, but required viewing as a savage critique of man’s inhumanity\, a testimony of horror but also an homage to the filmmakers who have chosen to witness it on our behalf. – The Hollywood Reporter \n

SUMMARY:The Silence of Others - No Peace without Justice
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival and Nobel Peace Center \nThe Silence of Others\nA shocking history about how the lack of justice after the dictatorship of Franco’s regime in Spain has forced hundreds of thousands of victims and their families to stay silent about their suffering\, even today. A turning point came in 2010\, when a group of courageous survivors and their families circumvented the Spanish justice system\, with aid from an Argentinian court\, where they accused former people of power for crimes against humanity. Through six nerve-wracking years we follow the court and a growing number of plaintiffs who dare to step forward. \n \nFrom Franco to Assad: No Peace without Justice\nTalk following the screening of The Silence of Others \nIn Syria\, hundreds of thousands have been arbitrary detained and forcibly disappeared\, the vast majority at the hands of the Assad regime. Driven by an uncompromising belief in human rights\, Syrians are organizing to find\, free and demand justice for their loved ones. Inspired by the many justice seekers before them from Argentina to Bosnia and Spain\, Syrians recognize that this is a lifelong struggle. \nForty years after the end of Franco’s dictatorship\, Spaniards continue to fight for justice. They find no peace in the silence of others and still navigate painful pathways to reconcile with the horrors of the past and the state-imposed amnesia of the present. \nThis panel addresses questions on confronting the past\, dealing with inter-generational trauma and reckoning with the legacy of ruthless dictators and their regimes. \nSpeakers: \nDr. Hale Hilal\, member of Families for Freedom\nAlmudena Carracedo co-director of The Silence of Others.\nModerator: Pardis Shafafi\, applied anthropologist on political violence and enduring trauma.

SUMMARY:Privacy of Wounds
DESCRIPTION:Hasan\, Mazen\, and Khaldoon are former prisoners of conscience from some of Syria’s most notorious prisons. Convinced that the three strangers will communicate openly and honestly with each other\, the director observes them from the outside of a simulated prison cell in Oslo\, using three remote-controlled cameras. \nDespite the horrors they experienced in captivity in Syria\, these men never gave up hope for a brighter future. Dalia Kury’s documentary raises awareness about how the three men apprehend their own state of being\, and what type of psychological challenges they have to deal with. Their dialogue and reflections about the war in Syria invites the audience into a soulful journey\, highlighting what life is really about. \nPrivacy of Wounds is about what survivors tell themselves to conquer their ghosts from the past. \nDiscussion after the screening\nFollowing the screening\, two of the former prisoners of conscience\, Mazen Esmaiel and Khaldoon Hawaley\, will take part in a conversation about life in and after prison\, and what it means to be a political prisoner in Syria\, together with director Dalia Kury\, and moderated by Zeina Bali. \nThis event is part of the HUMAN International Film Festival\, in collaboration with  SPACE – Syrian Peace Action Centre and Fritt Ord.

SUMMARY:Mapping Home - Oslo World Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Maps have been extensively used to tell stories and to show how the stories relate to a place. Equally\, narratives have contributed to the shaping and production of a place. How do we make sense of a place that we no longer can visit? What places do we remember and long for? What narratives live in these places and what can they tell about us and about “home”? How do we begin to discover and become acquainted with a new place? What invisible boundaries do we draw as we settle in our new destination? \nWelcome to this free workshop facilitated by Syrian artist Diala Brisly\, who will navigate our spatial memories and take us through the journey to discover\, map and narrate a place called home. \nThis workshop is a part of Oslo World & Station Beirut: NextStopDamascus\, a Syrian takeover at Kulturhuset. In collaboration with Oslo World Music. \nPhoto credit: SYRIA Cultural Index

SUMMARY:Freedom to Remember/Create - Oslo World Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Syrian artists Khaled Barakeh and Diala Brisly will discuss their artistic practices and processes\, what it means to create within contexts of oppression and exile; physically dispersed yet under a shared collective experience. They will also discuss contemporary artistic expression by other Syrian artists in the Middle East\, across the diaspora and from those who have recently relocated to new realities. How do the arts preserve cultural heritage? What narratives do they create? How do the arts and creative sector contribute to healing and rebuilding a nation? \nPanel:\nKhaled Barakeh: Born in 1976 in Damascus and currently based in Berlin\, Khaled Barakeh studied art at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus and continued his education at the Funen Art Academy in Odense\, Denmark and the Städelschule Art Academy in Frankfurt\, Germany. Moving from Syria to Europe resulted in major changes in his approach towards his work – originally trained as a painter\, Khaled has developed a stronger concentration in conceptual art practices. His work can be characterized as cultural hacking\, revolving around both personal and social narratives\, it often transforms pre-existing materials\, objects and data in order to change their contexts through repetitive acts of transformation. His work is exhibited in institutions\, fairs and galleries worldwide. \nDiala Brisly: Born in Kuwait to Syrian parents in 1980. Her career began as a cartoonist and gradually expanded into other media and capacities\, including graphic design\, animation\, concept art\, painting\, comic books and character design. Her artwork on the Adra Women’s Prison hunger strike campaign helped secure the release of 23 women prisoners. Currently\, Diala’s work focuses on drawing attention to the educational situation of Syrian kids\, and refugees in general. \nNabil Canaan (moderator): Born in Beirut\, Lebanon in 1972\, Lebanese-Swiss filmmaker\, cultural producer and curator Nabil Canaan is the founder of STATION art platform and initiator of the NextStop project. After an earlier career in international marketing and new media communication\, Nabil’s work for the past fifteen years has been driven by a documentary impulse and concern for the human condition. With a BA in Sociology and an MA in Documentary Film and Journalism from New York University\, he has created documentaries for the New York Times\, developed multimedia content and strategies for the UN/NGO sector\, ran a film production and post-production studio in Switzerland and since 2013\, co-founder and director of STATION’s venue in Beirut and it’s international art projects. \nThis seminar is a part of Oslo World & Station Beirut: NextStopDamascus\, a Syrian takeover at Kulturhuset\, during Oslo World.  \nOrganized in collaboration with Oslo World Music and Station Beirut

SUMMARY:Concert with Simona Abdallah
DESCRIPTION:SPACE and Mela invite you to a special concert with the internationally-acclaimed percussionist Simona Abdallah concluding The Question of Syria – Doomed by Hope conference. \nSimona plays Arabic percussion\, primarily the Darbuka\, a goblet-shaped drum. She fuses her ancestral Arabic rhythms with House\, Electronica and World music. \nThe Darbuka is considered solely a masculine instrument\, and is traditionally always played by men. That makes Simona the first female musician from an Arabic background to break the tradition with an internationally acclaimed success to follow. \nJoin us to listen to Simona’s rhythms as well as reflections on her experience in a short talk before the concert! \nThe event is free and open for all. Please be on time as seats are limited.

SUMMARY:Syrian Doc Days - Oslo
DESCRIPTION:Syrian Doc Days – Oslo\nWhat Syria Was and What it Must Not Be\nIn this first ever Syrian Doc Days in Oslo we will take a deep look into the Syrian society under the authoritarian rule of the Baath party and the Assad regime. \nThrough documentary films and discussions we will examine the relationship between the Syrian state and its citizens and how Syrians under the one-party rule were subjected to systematic censorship and institutionalized humiliation. \nOn the last day we will look at how Syrians in exile\, fleeing the war\, are forced into new hierarchies of oppression. \nProgram \nSaturday Sept. 8th:\n17:00 – 17:30: Introduction by Kjetil Selvik and Zeina Bali\n17:30 – 18:20: A Flood in Baath Country (2003) by Omar Amiralay\n18:20 – 18:45: Step by Step (1978) by Ossama Mohammed\n19:00 – 20:00: Talk with Ossama Mohammed \nSunday Sept. 9th:\n14:00 – 14:10: Introduction\n14:15 – 15:00: Talk with Faraj Bayrakdar and Elena Chiti\n15:00 – 16:45: Tadmor (2016)\, 103 min\n16:45 – 17:00: Tadmor’s director Monika Borgmann in conversation with Dalia Al Kury \nMonday Sept. 10th:\n17:00 – 17:15: Introduction\n17:15 – 18:40: Taste of Cement (2017) by Ziad Kalthoum \n\nTickets can be bought on cinemateket.no.  \n  \nDay 1: Saturday Sept 8th. 17:00 – 20:00\nPublic Theaters of Humiliation. The film A Flood in Baath Country from 2003 zooms in on a Syrian village that represents a microcosm of the Baath party and their rule. The leaders promised socialism but instead introduced a strict autocracy that forced people into submission through brutal force\, indoctrination and systematic humiliation that started in primary schools. Step by Step is an experimental documentary film from 1978\, by Osama Mohammed\, that shows the harsh reality of the dictatorship and the consequences for people and society. \nBetween and after the films\, Syrian filmmaker Ossama Mohammed\, director of Step by Step\, and Kjetil Selvik will talk about the Syrian society and how it is to make films under a dictatorship. \nGuests: Ossama Mohammed\, award-winning film director\, and senior researcher at NUPI Kjetil Selvik. Zeina Bali from SPACE will introduce and host the event. \n  \nDay 2: Sunday Sept 9th. 14:00 – 17:00\nFrom Schools to Prisons. Tadmor from 2016 reconstructs the infamous Tadmor torture prison in Palmyra in Syria. The film is an attempt by former prisoners to come to terms with the incomprehensible brutality and humiliation they were subjected to over years. Tens of thousands of people have died in state run prisons as a result of torture or starvation. \nGuests: Syrian poet and former prisoner in Tadmor\, Faraj Baraykdar and film director Monika Borgmann will talk before and after the screening of the documentary film Tadmor. \nDay 3: Monday Sept 10th. 17:00 – 19:00\nIn Exile. Taste of Cement from 2017 shows how Syrian workers in exile are exposed to new types of oppression. In this visually beautiful\, stylized documentary Syrian refugees in Beirut are working on the reconstruction of a city that was destroyed not that long ago\, in contrast to their own country which is being destroyed\, exposing the meaningless cycles of destruction and construction that war feeds. \n  \nDalia Al-Kury \nDalia Al Kury is a Jordanian-Palestinian filmmaker. She she graduated from the Goldsmiths University in the UK in 2007 with an MA in Screen Documentary. Documentaries she has directed include “Possessed by Djinn”\, “Arabizi” and “Smile\, You Are in South Lebanon.” Her work has been broadcast on MBC Arabia\, Al Jazeera\, and Al Arabiya and has been screened at international film festivals. \n\nFaraj Bayrakdar \nFaraj Bayrakdar is a Syrian writer and award-winning poet. He was imprisoned by the Hafez al-Assad regime in 1987 on suspicion of belonging to the Communist Action Party. He was released 14 years later. Bayrakdar is author of more than six books of poetry and prose\, including “Mirrors of Absence” which taps into how the poet survives under tyrannical regimes\, the notions of “imprisonment” and identity\, and the concept of freedom. \n\nKjetil Selvik \nKjetil Selvik is Senior Researcher in NUPI’s Research Group on Peace\, Conflict and Development. He holds a PhD in political science from Sciences Po in Paris and works on struggles over states and regimes in the Middle East. Selvik har previously worked as researcher at Fafo and at the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and been Adjunct Associate Professor at the Department of Comparative Politics\, University of Bergen\, and at the Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Language\, University of Oslo. \n\nMonika Borgmann \nMonika Borgmann is a filmmaker and co-director of NGO UMAM Documentation & Research. She studied Arabic and Political Sciences in Bonn and Damascus. She worked as freelance journalist in the Middle East and North Africa for over a decade. Since 2001\, she lives in Beirut where she co-founded the NGO UMAM Documentation & Research and the online archive Memory at Work. \n\nOssama Mohammed \nOssama Mohammed is a Syrian screenwriter\, cinematographer and film director. He graduated from VGIK in 1979\, where he studied at the Laboratory of Igor Talankin. His diploma film was the short documentary Step by Step. He completed his first fiction feature Stars in Broad Daylight in 1988. The title refers to Igor Talankin’s film with the same title. Deemed to be the most scathing critique of contemporary Syrian society trapped in the iron grip of the Baath regime\, the film has never been allowed a public screening in Syria. Internationally it earned the filmmaker great critical praise. His films\, Sacrifices (2002) and Silvered Water (2014) were shown at Cannes Film Festival. \n\nZeina Bali \nZeina Bali is one of the founders of SPACE (Syrian Peace Action Centre). Bali has worked and done research with several NGOs and non-profits in Syria\, Turkey\, and Norway on education and youth engagement. \n  \n\nThis event is partly funded by Stiftelsen Fritt Ord

SUMMARY:When Time Is All You Have Left: A Space Reading Circle
DESCRIPTION:“When Time Is All You Have Left” explores how synchronization and translation mediate our experience of lost time as a temporality of migration. Lost time is an experience that is central to the dissonance felt in the shift from familiar rhythms to the mastery of new temporalities that we struggle to participate in shaping. This reading circle explores the problems with regard to human relations to time\, taking migration as a starting point to explore the temporal transformations that govern people’s experience of space during major political and social upheavals. We focus on Syria\, as a complex space that gave rise to massive mobility in present times. Today’s Syrians can all be said to inhabit a time that began in March 2011\, when the Syrian uprising broke out and radically changed the familiar temporalities enforced by Assad’s Syria for four decades. As the Assad dynasty routinely claimed eternity as the temporal structure of its rule\, the Syrian uprising was a break with eternity that unleashed multiple and often conflicting temporal claims on how to organize human relations. The consequent mass migration of millions of Syrians introduced in new temporal dynamics that will impact how the place called Syria will be imagined and will also impact how Syrians in new and unfamiliar places relate to their new homes. For the cultural producer\, the new temporalities have been challenging the forms and themes that are relevant in the new context. The problem becomes one of time\, in the sense that we lose time as we struggle to master ways to translate our interests and artistic expressions to semiotic paradigms that are not wholly familiar and that are governed by unfamiliar temporalities. As we labour to synchronize and iterate cultural translatability and relevance\, we often encounter the untranslatability of migration’s predicament\, as a problem of the loss of diachronic lineage. As we translate our meanings into new semiotic paradigms\, the diachronic acquires new significance as a temporality that gives migrations their distinctive identities. \nThrough a focused multi-media syllabus derived from texts and videos that reflect on the temporalities of Syrian experience over the past fifty years\, this reading circle will explore the problem of lost time as a problem of acting globally when the local no longer is a familiar or accessible anchoring point. \n  \nWith Yassin al-Haj Saleh\, Rana Issa\, Sonja Mejcher-Atassi\, Sami Khatib and others.

SUMMARY:Reconstructing Syria: Towards Establishing Rights-based Guiding Principles
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a lunch seminar co-hosted by the Syrian Peace Action Centre (SPACE) and PRIO\, on establishing rights-based guiding principles to discuss reconstructing Syria. \n​Background\nThe war in Syria is far from over. The recent escalation by the Syrian regime and its ally\, Russia\, against civilians in Eastern Ghouta\, and the Turkish military offensive against Kurdish-held Afrin in the north\, has engendered more suffering and destruction in an increasingly entangled matrix of regional and international players. What does it mean to engage in discussions about reconstruction while civilians populations are being bombed? \nStarting in 2017\, the international community has begun to tackle the issue of reconstruction in Syria while grappling with the difficult question of how this conversation should play out. In April\, the EU will host its second ‘Supporting the future of Syria and the region’ conference . Reconstruction will be on the agenda. \nInternational organizations such as the UNHCR\, the UNDP and UNESCO\, have already partnered with the Syrian government on several projects of rehabilitation   of civilian infrastructure and the removal of debris and solid waste in areas where the regime has regained control like Homs and Eastern Aleppo. These projects have been criticized by civil society actors for contributing to demographic changes by preventing people from returning to their homes and claiming their property rights. \nDiscussing reconstruction before the end of a conflict is a morally and conceptually difficult endeavor. The twofold objective of this seminar  is to problematize the approach of the international community\, while acknowledging gaps in the current dominant conversation\, but also to  reflect on the ethical issues raised by activist and academic participation in policy discussions on Syrian reconstruction. The seminar aims to address the following questions: \n\nWhen is the good time to start discussing reconstruction?\nWhy should Norway\, the EU and the international community help rebuild Syria\, if at all?\nHow can we ensure a reconstruction process that preserves the property rights and cultural heritage of the displaced and returnees?\nWho should be involved and consulted in the process?\nHow can the post-conflict reconstruction be established on premises of accountability and social justice?\nWhat are the right questions to ask to which stakeholders and who should assume the role of watchdog?\nWhat is the role of academics\, researchers\, and policy makers in this discussion?\n\nPanelists\n\nAlHakam Shaar\, Academic and writer from Aleppo\, fellow of the Aleppo Project\nSamer Frangie\, Assistant Professor in Political Studies\, American University of Beirut\nKristin Bergtora Sandvik\, Research professor in Humanitarian Studies\, PRIO\, Professor of Sociology of Law\, University of Oslo

SUMMARY:HUMAN Festival: Taste of Cement
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival and Kunstnernes Hus \nThe Film: Taste of Cement\nA portrait of workers in exile\, Taste of Cement is an empathetic encounter with people who have lost their past and their future\, locked in the recurring present. \nA poetic essay documentary about Syrian construction workers building new skyscrapers in Beirut. As they help rebuild ruined neighbourhoods in the aftermath of the Lebanese civil war\, their own houses at home are being shelled. The Lebanese government has imposed curfews on refugees and so the workers are locked in the building site over-night. Every night in their pit below the skyscraper the news from their homeland and the memories of the war haunt them. Mute and imprisoned in the cement underground\, they must endure until the new day arrives where the hammering and welding drowns out their nightmares. \nWith exquisite framing\, unorthodox editing\, and dreamlike narrative detours Taste of Cement is a daring\, imaginative and visually challenging cinematic work. \n \nThe Talk: Reconstruction for whom?\nDespite the ongoing war\, severe lack of humanitarian access in several areas in Syria and absence of accountability\, the international community has started to discuss the issue of reconstructing Syria\, but reconstruction for whom? \nWhat are the preconditions to start the reconstruction process\, and the healing of a nation in a broad sense? How do the social and political landscapes of war-torn cities contribute to shaping the national identity in the future\, if at all? What is the relationship between reconstruction and collective memories? \nThese questions will serve as a starting point for a talk with Samer Frangie\, Assistant Professor in Political Studies at the American University of Beirut.

SUMMARY:Aleppo's Fall
DESCRIPTION:Om filmen\nAleppos opprør mot regimet og senere sammenbrudd under massivt bombardement er som et symbol på den arabiske våren. Folket reiste seg i protest mot diktaturet men motstanden var splittet i mange fraksjoner og den klarte aldri stå imot volden fra regimet. \nI filmen Aleppo’s Fall reiser den norsk-syriske regissøren Nizam Najjar tilbake til sin hjemby. Bevæpnet med sitt kamera følger han en gruppe sivile som under fanene til The Free Syrian Army griper til våpen for å forsvare seg mot sin egen regjering. Skredderen Haj Khaled\, som begynner med å sy flagg til de fredelige demonstrasjonene mot diktaturet\, ender som leder av en milits av unge menn med ulike motivasjoner og agendaer. \nI kampen mot Assad og Putin på den ene siden\, og IS på den andre\, forsøker han å holde gruppen samlet og moralen oppe. Filmen følger dem fra de håpefulle dagene\, gjennom desperasjon\, død og splittelse – inntil byen faller\, og de overlevende må flykte. \n  \nSamtale etter filmen\nHva skjedde i Aleppo? Hvorfor var opposisjonen så splittet? Hva er situasjonen idag for de som måtte flykte fra byen? Hvordan er det å rapportere fra krigen i Syria? Hva får vi vite og hva får vi ikke vite? \nDELTAKERE: \n\nNizam Najjar er en norsk-syrisk filmskaper\, født og oppvokst i Aleppo. Han har tidligere laget filmen Diary from the Revolution (Dagbok fra revolusjonen) fra krigen i Libya og var regiassistent på den prisbelønte dokumentarfilmen 69 minutter av 86 dager.\nWaad Al-khateeb er en syrisk journalist og filmskaper som bl.a. rapporterte for Channel 4 under opprøret i Aleppo. Alkateab var en av de siste som forlot byen efter beleiringen. Hun lever i dag i Tyrkia\, og følger utviklingen i Syria tett.

SUMMARY:Last Men in Aleppo - Film & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The air is still filled with dust from demolished buildings. Hands search desperately through what is now a total ruin\, moving bricks and rebars in hope of finding someone alive. We follow Khalid\, Subhi\, and Mahmoud\, three Syrians who volunteer for the organisation known as The White Helmets. Now they are doing everything in their power to find surviors in the ruins of the battle for Aleppo\, and to bring out the dead. \nIn the midst of all the misery and bomb raids\, we also get to take part in beautiful everyday moments\, such as an improvised game of street soccer or a visit to the playground. Last Men in Aleppo takes us inside the war in Syria\, but this is not a film about war. First and foremost\, it is about ordinary people’s resilience and courage. How do they live under the bombs and a looming siege? Why do they risk their lives to save others? This award-winning documentary is a captivating experience\, and a tough watch\, but a film that demands to be seen. \nThere will be a short discussion on the situation in Syria before the film and a short Q&A session with the director\, Firas Fayyad after the film – stay tuned for more details! \nThe event is a collaboration between Films From the South\, Arab Film Days and Syrian Peace Action Center (SPACE).

SUMMARY:Aleppo: The Fall
DESCRIPTION:  \nLast year\, one of the worst human tragedies took place in Aleppo. After a few months of siege and indiscriminate shelling\, tens of thousands of people were evicted from the city. \nBeyond the horrific scenes of bombardment and forced mass eviction\, little reflection has followed on how and why these violations happened and what the implications are for the present and future Syria. \nWhy did Aleppo fall? Who is responsible and how to be held accountable? What was the role of the local armed factions in Aleppo? Who was negotiating on behalf of the civilians? Who was forced to leave eastern Aleppo and who was allowed to return after the fall? What is happening in Aleppo today? What are the protection needs of civilians living in Aleppo under Assad? \nLina Shamy will give a personal testimony of living under Aleppo’s siege before she was forced to leave with the last buses in December 2016. Dr. Mohamad Katoub will address the inhumane situation under the siege and put it into context with the use of siege as a war tactic against civilians in many other locations around Syria. Finally\, Karam Nachar will reflect on the meaning and implications of Aleppo’s catastrophe ending with an outlook on the near future of an increasingly fragmented country. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaram Nachar\n\n\nKaram Nachar is the Executive Director of AlJumhuriya.net\, an online journal that covers Syrian politics and culture\, and a Lecturer at Isik University\, Istanbul. Nachar completed his PhD in Modern History at Princeton University in 2014\, with focus on Cultural and Intellectual History of Modern Syria and Lebanon. Nachar holds a Masters in Modern Middle Eastern Studies from Oxford University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMohamad Katoub\n\n\nMohamad Katoub is a dentist and medical worker from Douma\, in Eastern Ghouta. He’s an advocacy manager for the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS)\, a humanitarian organization harnessing the talents of Syrian-American health care professionals to provide medical relief. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKristin Bergtora Sandvik\n\n\nKristin Bergtora Sandvik (moderator) is a Research Professor in Humanitarian Studies at Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) and a professor of sociology of law at the University of Oslo.

SUMMARY:Short Film: One Day in Aleppo
DESCRIPTION:One Day in Aleppo by Ali Alibrahim\nAfter five months of the suffocating siege and daily bombings of the city of Aleppo\, a group of children take it upon themselves to start painting colors in their city as a game in order to forget their daily struggles and to sow some optimism among the hundreds of thousands of people trapped in the city. \nThis film documents such episodes and other stories of civilians inside the besieged neighborhoods of Aleppo. More than 280\,000 civilians languishing under siege imposed by the Syrian regime forces and Russia\, cutting off the supplies of food and medicine though the daily bombardments. \nOne day in Aleppo is a film about a devastated city with no food\, no fuel\, no water\, no place to bury one’s dead\, and nowhere to treat the wounded and where hospitals no longer function. Thousands under siege expressing their hope though daily endeavors such as a small groups of kids with their colors.

SUMMARY:Aleppo: Revolutionary Culture
DESCRIPTION:Long before March 2011\, Syria was known as the “kingdom of silence”. All forms of artistic and public expression were controlled by the regime\, only those who mastered the regime’s censorship rule-book managed to sneak in their subtle message through the many red lines. From the outset of the uprising against tyranny in 2011\, public expression and art became a daily practice. Self-expression has been\, in essence\, the motor of the uprising; the creative spirit of the Syrian people was unleashed by the wave of protests around the country popularizing art and culture to become a defining face of the protest movement. But where are we today? With the population facing endless repression and the world seeming increasingly indifferent\, is art still a powerful tool for Syrians? \n  \nSpanish-Syrian professor and activist Leila Nachawati Rego will reflect on culture and communication in times of repression\, revolution and war\, with a special focus on Aleppo\, “the Syrian Gernika”. \n  \n \nLeila Nachawati is a Spanish-Syrian writer and storyteller. She is a Professor of Communications at Madrid’s Carlos III University. She is co-founder of the news portal on Syrian civil society SyriaUntold and has just published her first novel on citizen mobilisations and the Arab Spring\, Cuando la revolución termine. \n\n  \n  \n \nMarius Von Der Fehr is a Norwegian artist and writer based in Norway and Spain. He works with socially and politically engaged practices. He runs the international event series New Frontiers/Nuevas Fronteras. One of his last works\, the controversial National Apology (in cooperation with Pia Maria Roll) confronted the use of culture as a tool for whitewashing Israel’s violent policies. \n\n  \n  \nEvent picture: Dancing in the Streets of Death by Wissam al-Jazairy

SUMMARY:The Story of Aleppo
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Aleppo\n  \nAt the beginning of the Syrian uprising\, Aleppo symbolized dissent to Assad rule culturally\, with its unique plethora of artistic\, cultural and civil society initiatives. The very same city that once represented hope is now the site of violence and despair. \n  \nThe story of Aleppo needs to be told. Only by making sense of what happened to Aleppo and its people can we make sense of the lasting impact this loss for civilization will have in the world. \n  \nIn our troubled world where extremism and populism are on the rise\, we need to rethink the impact of the destruction of the concept of the city that we witness in Syria will have around the world. We can achieve this by amplifying the voice of Syrians and listening to their stories.  We will once again use culture and art as our beautiful means to amplify these voices. \n  \nThe Question of Syria this year aims to address all the meanings and experiences that Aleppo embodies; from the lawless war and the Geneva Conventions\, to Aleppo’s cultural heritage\, passing by the heroic efforts of the first responders\, medics and the civil society. \n  \nOver two days\, we will break away from the mystical orientalist view of Aleppo to learn more about the social and economic divisions and contradictions that define the city. We will revisit the outburst of artistic and cultural forms of expression and resistance in the city and the country as a whole. Finally\, for the sake of the future of Syria\, and the world\, we will retrospectively analyze what happened in 2016. \n  \nMore information please see the Story of Aleppo page: https://masahat.no/story-of-aleppo \n  \nSupported by: \n \n\n\nIn partnership with: \n \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Aleppo: The City
DESCRIPTION:My Aleppo: When Memory Becomes Resistance – Lina Sergie Attar\n \nYou know Aleppo as a vast landscape of bombed and burning historic buildings\, cratered streets\, and endless lines of fleeing\, destitute families. But I will tell you about a time when things were different — when Aleppo was my home. \nSince 2011\, Syrians witnessed firsthand the simultaneous rebirth and destruction of their country on every scale: from home to nation. How does one express the collective and personal losses\, hopes\, regrets that have directly affected every Syrian? How does one absorb the traumatic everyday events devouring a country\, preserve memories of the past\, and look towards the future all at once? How do we reexamine the theories of urban trauma and national identity\, collective memory and constructed memorial\, heritage and reconstruction\, under the harsh reality of ongoing war and global mass displacement? Let us begin\, with a map of my Aleppo. \nAleppo City Market: Defining Space and Time – Annika Rabo\n \nAuthor of A shop of one’s own\, Independence and Reputation among Traders in Aleppo\, Rabo will share insights from her fieldwork during 1997-2002 in Souk al-Medina (the city’s market) as one of Aleppo’s key social urban institutions. As a site for social interaction and formative human experiences\, how do traders and customers interact and define time and space around them in the market? What does this tell us about the multi-faceted relationship between the state\, the people and the economy? \nSnapshots of Aleppo’s Social Urban History- Karam Nachar\n \nFrom the sixteenth to the eighteenth century\, Aleppo was the most important city in the Ottoman empire boasting an extremely rich and complex history. By universalizing the discussions of Aleppo\, Nachar will undo nostalgic historical accounts and demystify the charming discourse of the ancient oriental city. Like any other city\, Aleppo has its entangled worlds and complex class struggles. Karam Nachar will take us in a journey through the last four hundred years which gave rise to Aleppo as a world trade center. We will hear about the class- and sect-related tensions that this rise engendered in the city and continued to inform its social politics until our present day.

SUMMARY:Syria's Disappeared: The Case Against Assad
DESCRIPTION:SPACE\, Oslo Dokumentarkino and FN-sambandet invite you to a screening of Syria’s Disappeared: The Case Against Assad followed by a panel discussion about the prospects of prosecuting war crime committed in Syria in Norwegian courts. \nAbout the film\nThis documentary tells the hidden story of tens of thousands of men\, women and children forcibly disappeared by the regime of Bashar al Assad into a network of clandestine detention centres. \nWith unprecedented access\, we follow survivors of detention\, families of detainees\, regime defectors and international war crimes investigators as they fight to bring the perpetrators to justice and desperately campaign for the release of the disappeared. \nThe film’s director Sara Afshar will introduce the film and participate in the discussion after the screening. \nAbout the panel discussion\nNorway and Germany are the only two European countries with pure universal jurisdiction over war crimes\, crimes against humanity\, and genocide – meaning that the law does not require any connection between Norway and the relevant grave international crimes committed abroad. In this panel debate we will examine the legal avenues to investigate the serious crimes committed in Syria and to prosecute the perpetrators. \n  \nAnwar al-Bunni is a Syrian human rights lawyer. He is one of the founders of the Syrian Human Rights Association and of a centre for the defence of journalists and political prisoners. As a lawyer\, al-Bunni was particularly involved in defending people who were prosecuted for expressing their opinions in non-violent ways. Al-Bunni spent five years (2006-2011) in the Syrian regime’s prisons after signing a declaration calling for democratic reform. Al-Bunni left Syria in 2014 and is now based in Berlin where he is working to build cases against war criminals in Syria and achieve transitional justice. \n\n  \nGro Nystuen is a lawyer and expert in international law. From 2005 she was Associate Professor of International Humanitarian Law/the Law on Armed Conflict at the University of Oslo and from 2008 also Associate Professor at the Defence Staff University College in Oslo. She has also worked in the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs from 1991 to 2005. \n\n  \nSara Afshar is a journalist and filmmaker. She is the director of “Syria’s Disappeared: The Case Against Assad”. She worked for the BBC for 16 years on its current affairs programmes\, Newsnight and Panorama. \n\n  \n  \nStephanie Barbour is a lawyer and senior adviser at the Commission for International Justice and Accountability. She has served as Amnesty’s International representative to the International Criminal Court and other international tribunals in The Hague. She has also worked on cases related to crimes against humanity\, in particular enforced disappearances and sexual violence\, in relation to the 1996 to 2006 conflict in Nepal\, intercommunal violence in India in 2001 and the Rwandan genocide in 1994. \n\n  \nMark Taylor (moderator) is a Senior Researcher at the Fafo research foundation. For two decades\, Mark has worked on legal and policy frameworks applicable to conflict and human rights\, writing and advising on regulatory responses to economic dimensions of armed conflict and business and human rights. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Folkedans og musikk: en flerkulturell reise gjennom kulturarven
DESCRIPTION:Et flerkulturelt arrangement på Deichmanske hovedbibliotek sommeren 2017\nUtover bøker og malerier er det et bredere kulturelement som ikke fins i et bibliotek eller et galleri. Immateriell kulturarven er like mangfoldig som verdens land er\, like variert og fargerikt som tenkesett\, levemåter og skikker er. \nDen immaterielle arven er for de fleste en kilde til stolthet for å kunne vise tilhørighet til et samfunn og et land\, en felles historie og identitet. \nDeichmanske hovedbibliotek inviterer deg til et flerkulturelt arrangement som feirer immateriell kulturarv med dans og musikk\, bøker og filmer\, god mat og godt humør. Arrangementet er i samarbeid med Språk- og kulturfestivalen (foreningen)\, Den arabiske kvinnlige union i Norge og Syrian Peace Action Centre (SPACE). \nGjennom flott folkedans\, fortellerkunst og tradisjonelle sanger fra ulike kulturer\, vil våre besøkende få innblikk i ulik og spennende kulturarv man sjelden ellers får se. Vi ønsker også at våre brukere med bakgrunn fra disse ulike landene\, får muligheten til hygge seg og bli kjent med hverandre og med bibliotekets tilbud.\nVi viser en egenprodusert reportasje om den historiske og antropologiske bakgrunnen til «dabkeh»\, en folkedans fra Midtøsten. Det blir også sang og dans\, og en historieforteller vil ta oss med til et magisk sted. \nDet blir salg av spennende mat fra Midtøsten. Dessuten får du mulighet til å utforske internasjonal litteratur\, film og musikk fra vår samling\, i tillegg til ulike medier for norskopplæring. \nFoto kreditert til: Caracalla Dance Theatre

SUMMARY:Talk with Bashshar Haydar | حوار مع بشار حيدر
DESCRIPTION:Syria\, Palestine\, Lebanon\, Iraq: Spotlights on the Present and Insights into the Future\nWith Donald Trump’s recent visit to the Middle East\, the people of the region are facing an even bleaker future than before. The sectarian narrative of Shia/Sunni hatred is becoming more dominant. Daily killings in Iraq and Syria are diminishing hopes for accountability for crimes against humanity in the future. Israel is pitted to gain most from these developments. Only Lebanon and Jordan seem to have a semblance of a peaceful public sphere\, although it does not take too long to identify the devastating violence that these two nations are also undergoing.\nThe Syrian Peace Action Centre (SPACE) invites you to a talk with Bashshar Haydar\, a professor of philosophy at the American University of Beirut. He will bring his own perspectives to the recent developments\, and will help us think through some of the entanglements that make the region so difficult to comprehend.\nThe talk will take place in English and Arabic\, depending on the audience. The event is free and open to all. \nحوار مع بشار حيدر\nسوريا، فلسطين، لبنان، العراق: إضاءات على واقعنا ونظرة للمستقبل \nمع التطورات الأخيرة التي رافقت زيارة ترامب إلى منطقة الشرق الأوسط، يبدو واقعنا شديد القتامة. تخنقنا السردية الطائفية، تستمر حكاية القتل والقهر اليومي في سوريا والعراق وتكاد تنعدم أفق تحقيق العدالة المنتظرة. يضيق الحصار على فلسطين من كل الجهات وتبدو إسرائيل المستفيدة الوحيدة في المشهد. تعيش لبنان والأردن حياة أقرب إلى الطبيعية، ولكن لا يصعب علينا رؤية ديناميات العنف الكامنة في البلدين. \nيدعوكم المركز السوري للعمل من أجل السلام (ٍسبيس) إلى حوار مفتوح مع بشار حيدر، أستاذ علم فلسفة السياسة والأخلاق في الجامعة الأميركية في بيروت، سيتم من خلاله تسليط الضوء على آخر الأحداث من المنطقة لمساعدتنا على فهم الواقع وتحليل العواقب ودورنا المشترك في تحقيق مستقبل أفضل لمنطقتنا. \nسيتم الحوار باللغة الإنكليزية والعربية، وذلك حسب الجمهور. الدعوة عامة ومجانية.

SUMMARY:The Warriors of Hope: Syria’s New Civil Society
DESCRIPTION:The only positive that has come out of the horrific Syrian war is a new and vibrant civil society. Under Assad’s regime there were no independent organisations or political parties. The hope for a better future is to be found in a strong civil society that can keep its government in check\, and stop it from regressing to the police state it has been under Assad’s rule. \nWhat is the civil society in Syria today? Who are the teachers who keep the schools going\, who the doctors in the hospitals\, and who makes decisions on behalf of the community? How can organisations and institutions shape a future for Syrians\, and how can we and the international community support them? \nPanel: \nRula Asad\, co-founder and the executive director of the Syrian Female Journalists’ Network (SFJN). Founded in 2012\, the SFJN is a non-profit initiative that trains Syrian female journalists and promotes their role in the region’s media.\nAmund Bakke Foss\, journalist in VG\nZeina Bali\, SPACE – Syrian Peace Action Centre

SUMMARY:The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and The Silk Road Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn collaboration with Film fra Sør\, we invite you to a unique experience with a screening of the documentary “The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble”\, a mini-concert by the virtuoso Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh and an exciting panel discussion about music as a universal language. \nThe question of “What is the role of music?” is the starting point for the Silk Road Ensemble\, a group of musicians from around the world who have joined forces to discuss\, compose and play music\, led by the world-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma. The Silk Road Ensemble is an attempt to build bridges across cultures\, foster dialogue and show the music’s liberating power. The film about the Silk Road Ensemble is an audiovisual portrayal of music as a lingua franca. \nIn the film we join the ensemble on an incredible journey in the world of music\, where we get to see and hear tones and instruments from around the globe. Several of the ensemble members have fled their homeland in order to play the music they are passionate about. This is the case for Kinan Azmeh who will come to Oslo to play a mini-concert and participate in a conversation with Abazar Hamid “fribymusiker” in Harstad\, and Alexandra Archetti\, Festival Director of Oslo World Music Festival. Jan Lothe Eriksen from SafeMUSE will moderate the panel. \n

SUMMARY:A space to think and imagine Syria
DESCRIPTION:Kvelden begynner med såkalte lynforedrag – «lightning talks» om arbeidet\, lidenskapene og aktivismen til de syriske gjestene våre. Formålet med disse foredragene er å vekke fantasien vår og inspirere oss – kan vi forestille oss et annet Syria? Publikum er invitert til å bruke kvelden og det åpne rommet til å bli kjent med talerne våre\, til å ikke bare stille spørsmål\, men også diskutere\, dele historier og opplevelser og se for seg nye muligheter. Etterpå vil den syriske billedkunstneren Razan Sabbagh holde en visuell kunstperformance til Qanun-spilleren Ziad Khawam’s musikk. Interaksjon gjennom delte betraktninger\, samtaler og livemusikk skaper et åpent og levende rom. Velkommen!\n\n\n\nThe evening will open by so-called “lightning talks” by the different speakers about their work\, passion and activism. These talks are meant to inspire us to imagine Syria differently. The audience is invited to use the open space to engage with the speakers\, not only to ask questions\, but also to debate\, tell stories and identify new possibilities. Syrian artist\, Razan Sabbagh will afterwards have a visual arts performance with some action painting\, fused to the music of the Qanun player Ziad Khawam. The vibrant space counts on your interaction through shared reflections\, conversations and live music.\n  \n18:30: Lightning talks: Five short talks by: Karam Nachar\, Marcell Shehwaro\, Iyad El-Baghdadi\, Mohammad Al Saud and Bissan Fakih\n19:30: Poetry reading in Russian by Ivo Spira: Extract from “Requiem” by Anna Andreevna Akhmatova\n20:00 – 20:30 Live drawing by Razan Sabbagh and music by Ziad Khawam \nThis event is part of The Question of Syria 2016 – Syria are…
