One of the big challenges in writing these histories of “ordinary revolutionaries” is to access documentation and archives. In our work\, we try to reflect on the status of the archives\, may they be “official” archives of the state or independent archiving or else private documentation made accessible to us by some individuals. Two specific aspects will be dealt of in this presentation: the opening (even sometimes in a very ephemeral way) of once inaccessible or invisible state archives after 2011\, and the multiplication of private archiving initiatives\, documenting in particular recent revolts and revolutions\, but also older memories. Does this private space complement or contradict the archive of power? What power regime does it build? \nIn conversation with Teresa Pepe (Chair of CIMS\, Associate Professor in Middle East Studies\, IKOS\, University of Oslo) and Rana Issa (Research Fellow at University of Oslo\, and Co-founding board member of Masahat-Open Spaces for Arab Culture in Exile). \nLeyla DAKHLI is a full-time historian in the French Center for National Research (CNRS)\, presently settled in the Marc Bloch Center in Berlin. Her work deals with the study of Arab intellectuals and social history of the South Mediterranean region\, with a particular focus on the history of women and the question of exiled intellectuals and activists. She is the Principal Investigator of the ERC-founded program DREAM (Drafting and Enacting the revolution in the Arab Mediterranean). Her last publications include L’Esprit de la révolte.

Public authorities have centralized resources in the hands of the few\, while further alienating the inhabitants and depriving them from accessing basic services or participating in decisions that affect their daily lives. \nPrivatized and securitized public spaces\, environmental degradation\, depletion of natural resources\, social marginalization\, and mass evictions are some of the outcomes of decades-long urban development in different Arab contexts. \nIn clear contrast to these tendencies\, protesters in the Arab uprisings in 2011 and 2019 were able to access\, reclaim and own the public spaces\, albeit for a short while. However\, such attempts are not exclusive to mass protests. Numerous\, vibrant Arab social and urban movements\, groups and organizations are working to counter hegemonic urban powers and to reshape the cityspaces to make it belong to all citizens. \nThis panel will host urban researchers and architects from Lebanon\, Syria\, Palestine\, Egypt and Sudan to discuss the urban struggles in these contexts.

His dream is to find a roof above his head. Until that day comes\, he’ll sleep on the street and drive around the streets of Beirut with smoke pouring from the hood of his car. Beer offers some solace\, for a while. He explains why he’s happy in this hectic city: “The chaos suits me because if this country had order\, I wouldn’t be able to drink and drive.” \nElsewhere in the city\, a runaway Syrian boy named Ali has chosen to live alone on the streets. He loves the sea and his missing friend Azzam\, whom he’s waiting for day in and day out. We also meet Samya\, a whiskey-drinking woman who’s trying to finance an operation for her almost-blind mother. Just like Abu Hussam and Ali\, she’s hoping for better times\, and on occasion there’s a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel.

The artwork is exhibited in four place in Oslo: Youngstorget\, Sørenga\, Sankthanshaugen and Kulturkirken Jakob. \nThe rapid and unexpected spread of COVID-19 has affected every detail of our life\, challenging everything we thought of as stable and unchangeable. While people have sought to unite in the face of a hidden common “enemy\,” the pandemic has also strengthened a sense of crisis in our social and political systems. If the current crisis has revealed essential flaws in our systems\, it is an opportunity to fundamentally question who we are and where we are going. \nArtists and cultural producers play a critical role in providing alternative spaces\, which are cornerstones in navigating the ongoing transformations of a crisis. Indeed\, culture is the essence of who we are as human beings: it establishes our collective social lives\, binds us together\, and nurtures our sense of belonging beyond borders. It is difficult to envision the future as a joint endeavor of human civilization without it.\nThe posters in the ‘Through Solidarity\, We Survive’ exhibition are responses to the current situation. They stem from two separate initiatives: An open call by coculture inviting Syrian artists in diaspora to create a dialogue-based artwork reacting to the pandemic\, and the Artist Training Program by the UdK Berlin Career College. Alongside the UdK Berlin demonstration KUNST RAUM STADT exhibition\, coculture and UdK presented the artworks in public spaces (e.g. windows\, balconies\, billboards\, walls\, etc.) throughout Berlin as a city campaign this summer. During Oslo World the posters will be exhibited in a city campaign all over Oslo. \nArtists participating in the exhibition:\nAlaa Hamameh\, Ammar Hatem\, Ammar Khattab\, Diala Brisly\, Fadi Aljabour\, Fahed Halabi\, Michaele Daoud\, Nada Ali\, Nagham Hamoush\, Nour Safadi\, Razan Sabbagh\, Ruba Salameh\, Tamer Mallak\, Yaser Kassab\, Yerevan Hassan\, Zena El Abdalla \nThis exhibition is in collaboration with SPACE\, Oslo World and Fotogalleriet and is courtesy of coculture which has selected and exhibited the artwork in Berlin last summer. \nSupported by Oslo Municipality and Fritt Ord.

There will be music\, poetry\, conversation and open-mic at the end. \nWhen musicians are forced to leave their homes\, how can they adapt to a new context and audience\, and an alien musical scene? How can they perform in front of an audience that is not theirs? What happens to the content and style of their music? We will discuss these questions with Sallam Nasser and Shbli Saleem\, after we hear some of their beautiful performances. Discussion moderated by Chiara Ayad. \nMusicians: \n\nSallam Nasser: is a lyricist\, rapper and producer. Originally from Haifa\, Palestine\, Sallam Naser was born and raised in the Yarmouk camp in Damascus. With the unrest in Syria\, he sought asylum in Drammen\, Norway\, where he quickly mastered the Norwegian language. In 2019\, Sallam caught the rap scene off guard when he started participating in rap battles against Norwegian rappers\, proving his talent was not limited to his native language.\nShbli Saleem: is an Oud player\, he performed in numerous concerts and festivals in Norway.

Hvordan skal de opptre foran et publikum som ikke er deres? Hva skjer med innholdet og musikkstilen? Dette er noen av spørsmålene vi skal diskutere sammen med musikerne Sallam Nasser og Shbli Saleem etter at de har opptrådt for oss. Samtalen ledes av Chiara Ayad. \nMusikerne: \n\nSallam Nasser er tekstforfatter\, rapper og produsent\, opprinnelig fra Haifa i Palestina. Sallam Nasser er født og oppvokst i Yarmouk-leiren i Damaskus. På grunn av uroen i landet søkte han asyl i Drammen i Norge\, hvor han raskt mestret det norske språket. I 2019 overrasket han alle da han deltok på «rap battles» sammen med norske rappere\, og viste dermed at talentet ikke var begrenset til morsmålet hans.\nShbli Saleem er en oudspiller som har opptrådt på en rekke konserter og festivaler i Norge. Han studerer for tiden musikk ved Høgskolen i Innlandet.\nChiara Ayyad er en palestinsk-norsk kunstner\, og vil lede samtalen.\n\nRegistration is closed for this event \nSupported by: URL:https://masahat.no/event/malplassert-musikere-i-eksil/ LOCATION:Melahuset\, Mariboes gate 8\, Oslo\, 0183\, Norway CATEGORIES:Musikk,Samtale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Malplassert.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20200913T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20200913T200000 DTSTAMP:20260409T044008 CREATED:20200829T203510Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250312T201156Z UID:3115-1600020000-1600027200@masahat.no SUMMARY:Syrian Doc Days: Mellom to verdener DESCRIPTION:Velkommen til den tredje utgaven av Syrian Doc Days i Oslo!\nI år skal vi se nærmere på hvordan flyktninger i Norge opplever å leve mellom to verdener\, konsekvensene som følger\, og hvordan det norske systemet kan håndtere dette. \n\nProgrammet for kvelden\n\n18.00 – 18.40: Visning av to kortfilmer\n\nSyrialism\, av Dalia Alkury (Norge\, 2020\, 21′)\nI have seen nothing\, av Yaser Kassab (Libanon\, Sverige\, Syria\, 2019\, 19′)\n\n\n18.45 – 19.00: Spørsmålsrunde med filmregissør Dalia Alkury\n19.30 – 20.00: Panelsamtale\n\n\nMellom to verdener: Møtet mellom nåtid og fortid for flyktninger i Norge\nFor mange av oss som har kommet til Norge etter å ha levnet et hjemland\, familie og nære i krise\, kan virkeligheten nærmest oppleves som schizofren – vi lever i to verdener. Våre følelser og tanker er hjemme\, mens vi forsøker å starte våre nye liv i Norge.\nVi prøver å lære et nytt språk\, sliter med å finne vår plass i et nytt samfunn\, og lærer stadig hvordan ting fungerer\, mens vi også sliter med angst og frykt for hva som skal skje med våre kjære som fortsatt befinner seg der vi dro fra dem. Vi opplever skyldfølelse for at vi har overlevd\, traumatiske minner\, og vi mangler en følelse av tilhørighet. \nMange flyktninger sier at de har fått psykiske plager etter at de kom til Norge. Å leve i fredelige Norge beskytter ikke flyktninger fra å oppleve den psykiske bagasjen de har båret med seg fra konflikter og uroligheter. Hvordan skal vi håndtere denne virkeligheten? Hvordan kan det norske helsesystemet bli bedre skodd for å møte disse behovene? \nFor å snakke om dette har vi fått med oss: \n\nLars Lien\, Professor II\, Høgskolen i Innlandet\nAngie Hussami-Finvold\, syrisk-norsk aktivist og flyktningguide\nBaraa Alowais\, syrisk-norsk lege\nOrdstyrer: Tove Gravdal\, journalist og skribent\n\nI samarbeid med Oslo Dokumentarkino og Syrian Doc Days – Denmark.\n\n\nBegrensede plasser\, husk å kjøpe billett: https://checkout.ebillett.no/287/events/13447/purchase/corona.

Filmvisning og samtale DESCRIPTION:Det er hardt å være araber og SPACE ønsker velkommen til Underdown filmvisning om livet i Beiruts gater og en samtale med Rana Issa\, Antoine Fadel og Khaled Zaza om det som skjer i Beirut nå. \nDen 4. august ble Beirut rystet av en voldsom eksplosjon som la byen i ruiner. 2750 tonn med ammoniumnitrat hadde blitt lagret flere år i byens havn\, og til tross for at myndighetene kjente til dette\, ble det aldri gjort noe med. Dette var siste dråpe for libanesere som lenge har lengtet etter politisk forandring.\n«Alle betyr alle» ropes i gatene og symbolske galger er satt opp. Revolusjonen som startet i oktober i fjor lever videre\, og målet er at det politiske lederskapet skal falle. \nOm filmen\nI Sarah Kaskas’ «Underdown» møter vi Abu Hussam\, en taxisjåfør som gjør sitt beste for å overleve i Libanons hovedstad Beirut. Abu Hussams drøm er å finne tak over hodet\, men fram til det skjer skal han fortsette å sove på gata og kjøre rundt i gatene med røyk sigende fra panseret på bilen. Å drikke øl gir ham noe trøst\, for en liten stund. Han forklarer hvorfor han er glad i denne hektiske byen: «Kaoset passer meg\, fordi hvis dette landet hadde vært i orden\, hadde det vært umulig for meg å drikke og kjøre.»\nEt annet sted i byen møter vi den syriske gutten Ali\, som har valgt å leve alene på gata. Han elsker havet\, og savner Azzam\, en kompis som han fortsetter å vente på. Vi møter også Samya\, en whiskeydrikkende kvinne som prøver å finansiere en operasjon for sin nesten blinde mor. Akkurat som Abu Hussam og Ali\, håper hun også på bedre tider. \n \nOm samtalen\nFor å diskutere hva som foregår i landet har vi fått med oss Rana Issa\, medgrunnlegger av SPACE og assisterende professor på Det amerikanske universitetet i Beirut (AUB)\, Antoind Fadel\, arkitekt og medgrunnlegger av Active Lebanon\, og Khaled Zaza\, konsulent og forskningsassistent spesialisert i internasjonal rett og menneskerettigheter. \nPåmelding\nFor å reservere billetter registerer du deg her på Facebook eventet og vippser 50 kroner eller mer til 618777. Alle pengene går til Basmeh & Zeitooneh\, en organisasjon som opprinnelig jobber med syriske og palestinske flyktninger i Libanon\, men som nå også jobber med libanesiske familier som er påvirket av eksplosjonen i Beirut.

For Sama tells us a Syrian story of love and courage facing injustice and oppression. When you watch the film\, you help by bearing witness and preserving the narrative.\nShow solidarity: Waad Alkateab says that the hardest way for people to die is in silence. After watching For Sama\, please take a picture of yourself with a message of solidarity to show Syrians across the world that you are hearing their stories and standing with them in their struggle for freedom and democracy. Share it on social media and tag @ActionForSama. Hashtags: #forsama #actionforsama #stopbombinghospitals.\nTake action: One of the ways you can support is to give to the heroic humanitarians and medics still saving lives on the ground in Syria. As the global Coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the world\, the people of Syria need our help more than ever. The humanitarian conditions are appalling and there is always the threat of further conflict. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced and are now living in overcrowded camps\, with no chance of self isolation.\n\nYou can donate by card or PayPal online. All of the money donated to Action For Sama goes via our partners at Help Refugees\, who ensure that every penny goes directly to those working inside Syria. \nBackground on the film\nFor Sama is both an intimate and epic journey into the female experience of war. A love letter from a young mother to her daughter\, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo\, Syria as she falls in love\, gets married and gives birth to Sama\, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss\, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life\, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much. The film is the first feature documentary by Emmy award-winning filmmakers\, Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts. \n\nSPACE\, Europafilm\, Oslo Dokumentarkino og Human IDFF inviterer deg til en online visning av den Oscar-nominerte\, BAFTA-prisvinnende dokumentaren For Sama (2019\, 99 min.)\, samt en live spørsmålsrunde med filmskaperen Waad Alkateab den 24. juni klokken 19.30. \nHvordan funker det?\n\nDu kan se filmen på nett når du vil\, ved å klikke på denne linken.\nDen 24. juni kan du møte filmskaperen Waad Alkateab live på SPACE sine Facebook-sider\, der du kan sende inn spørsmål. Kan du ikke delta 24. juni\, er du velkommen til å sende oss dine spørsmål på forhånd\, så passer vi på at spørsmålene dine blir stilt.\n\nHvordan kan du hjelpe?\nDet første spørsmålet folk spør seg etter å ha sett For Sama\, er «hvordan kan jeg hjelpe?». Her er tre måter du kan hjelpe på: \n\nVær et vitne: Mange føler fortsatt på en forvirring rundt det som har skjedd og fortsatt skjer i Syria. For Sama forteller oss en syrisk historie om kjærlighet og mot i en urettferdig og undertrykkende situasjon. Når du ser filmen\, hjelper du ved å være et vitne og bevare fortellingen.\nVis solidaritet: Waad Alkateab sier at den vanskeligste måten å dø på\, er å dø i stillhet. Etter å ha sett For Sama\, kan du ta et bilde av deg selv med en solidaritetsmelding for å vise syrere i verden at du hører dem og står sammen med dem i kampen for frihet og demokrati. Del meldingen din i sosiale medier og tag @ActionForSama. Hashtagger: #forsama #actionforsama #stopbombinghospitals\nDonér: En av måtene du kan vise støtte på\, er å donere til de humanitære og medisinske heltene som fortsatt redder liv på bakken i Syria. Når den globale koronapandemien herjer i verden\, trenger syrere vår hjelp mer enn noen gang. Den humanitære situasjonen i Syria er forferdelig\, og konflikttrusselen er alltid der. Flere hundre tusen har blitt tvunget på flukt og lever nå i overbefolkede leire\, hvor isolasjon og karantene er umulig.\n\nDu kan donere ved bruk av kort eller PayPal. Alle pengene som doneres til Action For Sama går via våre partnere hos Help Refugees\, som sikrer at hvert øre går direkte til humanitært arbeid innad i Syria. \nFilmens bakgrunn\nFor Sama er både en intim og storslått reise inn i den kvinnelige opplevelsen av krig. Som et kjærlighetsbrev fra en ung mor til hennes datter\, forteller filmen historien om Waad al-Kateabs liv gjennom fem år i Aleppo\, hvor hun forelsker seg\, gifter seg og føder datteren Sama\, samtidig som krigen herjer rundt henne. Kameraet hennes fanger utrolige øyeblikk av tap\, latter og overlevelse\, samtidig som Waad sliter med det umulige valget – om hun skal eller ikke skal flykte fra byen for å beskytte datterens liv\, når det å flykte betyr å levne kampen for frihet\, en kamp hun allerede har ofret så mye til.Filmen er den første dokumentaren av de Emmy-prisvinnende filmskaperne Waad al-Kateab og Edward Watts. Filmanmeldelser i norske medier:\n– For Sama – P3\n– Filmanmeldelse: «For Sama» er noe i nærheten av en klassiker URL:https://masahat.no/event/for-sama-live-qa/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Filmvisning-live-QA-med-Waad-Alkatean.png ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20200228T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20200228T184500 DTSTAMP:20260409T044008 CREATED:20200216T122157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200216T122503Z UID:2879-1582909200-1582915500@masahat.no SUMMARY:حوار مفتوح: فلسطين–الفن والسياسة DESCRIPTION:بعد إعلان ترامب-نتنياهو عن صفقتهم، يرى البعض أنه من الممكن تحويل هذه الأزمة السياسية إلى فرصة لإعادة الاعتبار للمشروع الوطني للقضية الفلسطينية والنظر إلى حقوق الفلسطينيين في الوطن والشتات. \nوبذلك تعيد هذه الصفقة العديد من الأسئلة التي تجمع الفلسطينيين إلى الواجهة: ما هي أشكال المقاومة الممكنة اليوم في فلسطين؟ كيف يتم التصدي لقرارات التقسيم والفصل العنصري؟ كيف يمكن للفن أن يكون أحد أشكال مقاومة الاحتلال؟ \nيعيش أكثر من نصف الفلسطينيين خارج فلسطين–ماهو دور فلسطينيي الشتات بدعم المقاومة؟ وكيف يمكننا الحديث عن دعم الحقوق الفلسطينية؟ \nللإجابة على هذه الأسئلة، نستضيف في هذا الحوار المفتوح: \n\nنبيل الراعي، المدير الفني سابقاً، مسرح الحرية في جنين\nد. باسل غطاس، عضو سابق في الكنيست، وسياسي في حزب بلد\nكيارا عياد، فنانة فلسطينية نرويجية، معهد ادوارد سعيد للموسيقى\nتدير الحوار، لينا الخطيب، من سبيس\n\nسيتم فتح باب المشاركة للحضور ونسعى ليكون هذا الحوار تفاعلياً وتشاركياً مع الجمهور. \nهذا الحوار بالتعاون بين سبيس، موتفورستلينغ، مهرجان هيومان للأفلام الوثائقية ومبادرة “هاردت أو فاره آرابر”. \n\nPalestine: art and politics\nSPACE\, Det er hardt å være araber\, MOTforestillinger and HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival invite you to this open conversation (in Arabic) on Palestine\, art and politics. \nIn light of the recent Trump-Netanyahu deal\, this conversation will address questions like: what are the possible paths of resistance in today’s Palestine?

The Syrian Legal Development Programme (SLDP) has conducted extensive research into businesses that supply aid groups\, including the UN\, and how some of these businesses are sanctioned for human rights abuses. The seminar will share the findings of this research\, discuss the challenges in operating in a conflict zone like Syria from the perspective of business and human rights\, and discuss some solutions that donors and aid agencies could take to mitigate the negative impact of their operations. \nAn opening introduction will be held by Ibrahim Olabi who is the founder and director of The Syrian Legal Development Programme (SLDP). A panel discussion will then follow\, with Trude Falch (Norwegian People’s Aid) and Kristoffer Lidén (PRIO).

DESCRIPTION:Film: Syria’s Disappeared: The Case Against Assad\nUK/ 2017 / 50 min / Dir: Sara Afshar \nTens of thousands of Syrians have been tortured and killed in secret prisons\, by the Assad regime. The Film Syria’s Disappeared – The Case Against Assad by Sara Afshar brings forward testimonies from victims and asks the question; is it possible to prosecute the people behind these crimes? \nMazen Alhummada is one of the characters in the film. He was arrested and brutally tortured in a state controlled prison. Today he lives in exile and fights for justice for the victims of torture and murder in Assads prisons. \nWe also meet investigators\, journalists and lawyers working to fight impunity in Syria. \nPanel talk: Fighting War Crimes in Syria – Can Norway Play a Part?\nWar crimes that go unpunished\, leaves a crippled society. Countless human rights violations\, and crimes have been committed in Syria since the beginning of the uprising in the spring of 2011. Those responsible remain largely unpunished. \nIn November 2019\, a group of Syrian plaintiffs filed criminal complaints with Norwegian police and asked for investigations of named heads of Syrian intelligence services and other institutions responsible for torture and other grave abuses.\nOn this background\, we ask politicians\, legal experts\, activists\, and victims who have found protection in Norway\, how Norwegian authorities and authorities in other democratic countries can contribute to fighting impunity in Syria. \nPanel \n\nIbrahim Olabi\, Barrister at Guernica 37 and Director of Syrian Legal Development Programme\nBrynjulf Risnes\, lawyer\, Matrix Advokater – Defense and Litigation Attorneys\nSofie Høgestøl\, Associate Professor\, Faculty of Law UiO\nGunnar Ekeløve-Slydal\, Director of policies\, the Norwegian Helsinki Committee\nLawrence Almala Ali\, torture survivor from Syria.\nPetter Eide\, MP Socialist Left Party\, Norway\nBritta Redwood\, Legal Fellow\, European Centre for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR)\nModerator: Stig-Arild Pettersen\n\n  \n \nThis event is part of HUMAN International Documentary Festival\, in cooperation with The Norwegian Helsinki Committee and SPACE.

The Syrian regime is funding efforts to manipulate the Syrian story while others are documenting regime war crimes. Such “narrative wars” are not unique to Syria. They are a normal occurrence during and after violent conflicts\, including ethnic cleansing and genocides. \nThe Holocaust\, the Nakba and the Syrian war all have one thing in common: Efforts to document and remember these historical injustices have been crucial to get justice for the victims. \nThe film For Sama is a difficult\, yet important\, film to watch. It reminds us to ask critical questions such as: why is it important to document and bear witness to the horrors of the past? Who is responsible for preserving the narrative? Is it pursuable\, or even possible\, to agree on one grand narrative? Can preserved narratives and collective memories redeem the victims? \nPanel: \n\nUğur Ümit Üngör\, Professor of History at Amsterdam University\nNadim Khoury\, Associate Professor in International Studies at Lillehammer University College\nCora Alexa Døving\, senior researcher at the Norwegian Holocaust Center\nModerator: Line Khateeb\, SPACE Chair of the Board\n\nThis event is part of HUMAN International Documentary Festival.

Filmen The Cave skildrer livet under bomberegnet og arbeidet til lege Amani Ballour og hennes kolleger. Filmen vant publikumsprisen på den prestisjetunge Toronto internasjonale filmfestival i september og er nå med i Oscar-løpet. \n  \nThe Cave\n\nThis extraordinary film allows viewers to bear witness to courage and dedication in their finest forms.\n– The Washington Post \n\nØst-Ghouta utenfor Damascus var beleiret i fem år\, fra 2013 til 2018. Dette er den lengste beleiringen i krig i moderne tid. Befolkningen på flere hundre tusen var stengt inne og utsatt for massiv bombing. Det var mangel på mat og medisiner. \nAmani Ballour\, en ung kvinnelig lege\, ledet et undergrunnssykehus som tok seg av de skadde under beleiringen. \nDette er en film om enormt mot som til tider er vanskelig å se på. Men den er viktig. Når historien om krigen i Syria nå skrives vil regimet og deres støttespillere ønske å utelate slike historier som dette fordi den viser noen av de enorme krigsforbrytelsene begått av regimet mot egen befolkning. \nFilmen kjemper om en Oscar og vant publikumsprisen for beste dokumentar på Toronto internasjonale filmfestival i september 2019. \n \nThe Cave av Feras Fayyad. (Syria/Danmark/USA 2019\, 95 min.) Fayyad har tidligere laget blant annet Last Men in Aleppo som var Oscar-nominert i tillegg til å motta en rekke priser. \n\nHow on earth did they manage to film this and live to tell the tale? (…) Fayyad pulls off something miraculous with “The Cave\,” which concludes with a devastating final act in flames.”\n– Variety \n\n\nKRIGEN I SYRIA – KAMPEN OM HISTORIEN \nHvis Partiet kunne strekke sin hånd tilbake i fortiden og si om den og den hendelsen at den aldri hadde hendt\, var da ikke dette enda grufullere en bare tortur og død? – 1984\, George Orwell. \nKrigen i Syria er ikke over. Idag sitter folk fast i Idlib og er utsatt for noe av det samme som det som skjedde i Øst-Ghouta og andre steder som har vært under beleiring og bombing i Syria. \nMen likevel er kampen om narrativet allerede igang. Det syriske regimet har initiert en egen institusjon (Watan Document Foundation) som skal dokumentere krigen i Syria og samle inn historier. Sannsynligvis vil denne institusjonen forsøke å legge lokk på krigsforbrytelser begått av regimet og legge fram et narrativ som støtter Bashar al-Assads og hans regjerings fortelling om krigen. Denne historien gjengis i russisk propaganda og av andre som av en eller annen grunn støtter opp om Assads fortsatte diktatur. \nHvorvidt regimet lykkes i å gjøre sin historie gjeldende vil avhenge av om det finnes andre historier som er med å skape et bredere og riktigere bilde av virkeligheten. \nHeldigvis er vi ikke like ille ute som samfunnet i boka 1984 av George Orwell\, som sitatet over er hentet fra. Det er mange som jobber med å dokumentere krigen i Syria på en sannferdig måte og det finnes enormt mye video-\, bilde- og tekstmateriale. \nProgram\n\nInnledning ved Cora Alexa Døving som er forsker ved HL-senteret (Senter for studier av Holocaust og livssynsminoriteter) og Uğur Ümit Üngör som er førsteamanuensis i historie ved Utrecht universitet og forsker ved det nederlandske ‘Institute for War\, Holocaust\, and Genocide Studies’\, NIOD.\nQ&A etter visningen med Per K. Kirkegaard (klipper) og Peter Albrechtsen (lyddesigner).\n\nUğur Ümit Üngör har startet noe som heter Syria Oral History Project og har skapt et rammeverk for hvordan krigen i Syria kan dokumenteres. Han har blant mye annet skrevet denne artikkelen om kampen om narrativet når det gjelder krigen i Syria. Üngör kan ikke være tilstede på arrangementet på Cinemateket men har laget en kort video med sin kommentar til dette temaet som vi vil vise før filmen.

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 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20191123T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20191123T180000 DTSTAMP:20260409T044008 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:20191122T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20191122T210000 DTSTAMP:20260409T044008 CREATED:20190904T175432Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240829T094134Z UID:2334-1574442000-1574456400@masahat.no SUMMARY:The Struggle for Home - The Question of Syria 2019 DESCRIPTION:This year’s Question of Syria will expand the discussion beyond nation state politics by reflecting on questions of belonging\, exile\, everyday political expression\, right to land\, citizenship and return. \nThe Question of Syria 2019 – The Struggle for Home invites intellectuals\, specialists and artists from Iraq\, Palestine\, Syria\, Sudan as well as Norway to think together about home. \nWith the Syrian conflict entering its 8th year\, new struggles continue to erupt in the Arab world\, with Algeria and Sudan being the latest revolting countries. 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.
