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. Director Sarah Kaskas composed Underdown’s powerful soundtrack as well\, which also features music by Lebanese band Kinematik. \nDirector: Sarah Kaskas \nYear: 2018 \n72 min –\nSpoken languages: Arabic.

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. He currently studies music at Høgskolen i Innlandet\nModerator\, Chiara Ayyad: Palestinian-Norwegian artist\n\nعربي \nالأماكن محدودة، الدخول مجاني ولكن يجب حجز بطاقات \nنرحب بكم في أمسية موسيقية في ميلا هوسيه يتخللها موسيقى، غناء، شعر، وحوار مع فقرة أوبن-مايك في النهاية. \nعندما يُجبر الموسيقييون على ترك بلادهم، كيف يمكنهم التكيف مع سياق جديد، وجمهور جديد، ومشهد موسيقي غريب عنهم؟ كيف يمكنهم الأداء أمام جمهور لا يألفونه؟ وكيف يتأثر نمط ومحتوى إنتاجهم؟ نناقش هذه الأسئلة مع سلّام ناصر وشبلي سليم بعد أن نستمع إلى فقرات موسيقية من أدائهم. تدير الحوار كيارا عيّاد. \nالموسيقيين: \n\nسلّام ناصر: مؤلف، رابر، ومنتج. تعود أصول سلّام إلى حيفا، وقد ولد وأمضى حياته في مخيم اليرموك في دمشق. مع بداية الاضطرابات في سوريا اضطر سلّام إلى المغادرة وطلب اللجوء في النرويج. لفت سلّام الأنظار عام ٢٠١٩ بعد أن أتقن اللغة النرويجية بسرعة قياسية ودخل المشهد النرويجي بمشاركته في مناظرات راب مع رابرز/مغنيين نرويجيين، مرسّخاً بذلك موهبته بلغة جديدة.\nشبلي سليم: عازف عود شارك بالكثير من الحفلات والمهرجانات في أوسلو. يدرس الآن الموسيقي في Høgskolen i Innlandet\nتدير الحوار كيارا عيّاد، فنانة فلسطينية-نرويجية.\n\nNorsk \nBegrensede plasser\, gratis\, men husk å reservere billett \nSPACE og Det er hardt å være araber ønsker deg velkommen til en magisk kveld på Melahuset. Det vil være musikk\, poesi\, samtaler\, og åpen mikrofon mot slutten av kvelden. \nNår musikere blir tvunget til å levne hjemmene sine\, hvordan skal de tilpasse seg en ny kontekst\, et nytt publikum\, og en fjern musikkscene? 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:20260409T055658 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. Ikke nøl med å ta kontakt dersom du har spørsmål om pengene eller organisasjonen. Du kan lese mer om Basmeh & Zeitooneh her. \n  \nSupported By URL:https://masahat.no/event/beirut-underdown-filmvisning-og-samtale/ LOCATION:Melahuset\, Mariboes gate 8\, Oslo\, 0183\, Norway CATEGORIES:Film,Samtale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Beirut-underdown.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20200704T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20200704T200000 DTSTAMP:20260409T055658 CREATED:20200626T122347Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200626T122347Z UID:2994-1593885600-1593892800@masahat.no SUMMARY:حوار مفتوح: العزلة، الصدمة والاقتصاد في أزمة الكورونا DESCRIPTION:بينما تمر النرويج كسائر العالم بأزمة الكورونا التي تختبر مؤسساتها وقوانينها ومنظوماتها الاجتماعية وقدرتها على الاستجابة في حالات الطوارئ، نواجه نحن كمهاجرين ولاجئين في النرويج، تبعات أزمة الكورونا في عدة أماكن بنفس الوقت. نعيش في النرويج ونحاول التأقلم في ظروف غير مريحة، ولكن في نفس الوقت، نتواجد ذهنياً وعاطفياً حيث يعيش أحبتنا في أوضاع بالغة الصعوبة. \nنتابع بقلق تبعات الأزمة الاقتصادية والسياسية على أهلنا في سوريا والعراق وفلسطين ولبنان واليمن والمنطقة بشكل عام. بشكل خاص، تواجه سوريا ولبنان كارثة اقتصادية مهولة حيث يعيش السواد الأعظم من الناس في لبنان وسوريا تحت خط الفقر مهددين بأوضاع صحية واجتماعية كارثية. \nنحاول في هذا الحوار أن نفهم أكثر أبعاد هذه الأزمة على بلادنا وأحبتنا وعلى حياتنا أيضاً في النرويج. \nنستضيف في هذا الحوار المستشار القانوني والخبير في القانون الدولي وحقوق الإنسان، خالد ظاظا ليجاوبنا على الأسئلة التالية: ماذا يحدث في لبنان اليوم؟ ماهي تبعات الأزمة الاقتصادية على لبنان وسوريا؟ كيف سيؤثر قانون قيصر على الاقتصاد؟ ماهي آفاق التغيير السياسي؟ \nالدخول مجاني ولكن الأماكن محدودة ويتوجب حجز مكان عبر رابط الايفنت على الفيسبوك.

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:20260409T055658 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). Jørgen Jensehaugen (PRIO) will chair the seminar. \nTrude Falch’s comments will take the perspective of the INGOs and discuss the operational aspects and dilemmas we face while operating in a country under heavy international sanctions and subject to anti-terror legislation where everything we do is in risk of contributing to a war or even war-crime-economy. Kristoffer Lidén will give a reflection on the ethical dilemmas raised by Olabi’s talk. \nThis seminar is free and open to all\, but registration is required on PRIO’s website. \nSpeakers\n\nIbrahim Olabi is UK barrister at Guernica 37 International Justice Chambers\, and the founder of the Syrian Legal Development Programme. He is also a UK-based lawyer with specialised international law knowledge and experience related to the Syrian conflict.\nTrude Falch is Head of Middle East and North Africa section in Norwegian People’s Aid and has overseen the organisation’s programming in Syria since 2012. Norwegian People’s Aid works with local organisations to provide humanitarian and longer-term support in Syria.\nKristoffer Lidén is a Senior researcher at PRIO\, with a PhD in Philosophy. He coordinates the PRIO Research Group on Law and Ethics and is Deputy Director of the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies (NCHS). His current research centres on the ethics of international affairs\, with a focus on the fields of security\, humanitarianism\, peacebuilding and new technology.\n\n  \nThe seminar is co-hosted by the PRIO Middle East Centre\, the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies (NCHS) and SPACE – Syrian Peace Action Centre.

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.

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.

The evening starts with a film taking us on a timeless journey into the majestic world of music in Syria before the war. The film then chases the paths of three passionate musicians turned refugees as they rebuild their lives in exile. They resort to their love of Sufi music to find meaning in the aftermath of destruction and atrocity. Ibrahim\, one of the musicians featured in the film\, will join us later along with three world-renowned Syrian musicians in a Sufi-inspired concert. \nPROGRAM\n\n18.00 Wajd: Songs of Separation (Film)\n19.30 Q&A with film director\n20.00 Break\n20.30 Songs of Separation (Concert)\n\n  \nWajd: Songs of Separation (Film)\nInspired by the traditional sacred music of Syria\, filmmaker Amar Chebib travelled to Damascus and Aleppo in 2010. Six months later the revolution began\, escalating into a civil war and a humanitarian crisis. Touched by the harrowing experiences of the friends he made\, Wajd transformed into the stories of three musicians turned refugees following them over five years. \nIntimate footage of their daily lives weaved together with bittersweet musical performances\, extremely rare Sufi ceremonies\, and poetic imagery of a pre-war Syria that no longer exists. What unfolds is a cinematic meditation on loss\, yearning\, and faith. \n \nSongs of Separation \nFour prominent Syrian musicians are coming together from Turkey\, the UK\, Denmark as well as Norway to bring you a memorable evening of oriental rhythms fused with Sufi-inspired performance. The concert will revive the Sufi Levantine musical heritage\, featuring Aleppine Qudud (Qudud Halabiya) and classical Arabic Muwashahat\, a centuries-old genre spanning practices from Aleppo to Andulsia. \n\nAbout the Musicians\nIbrahim Muslimani\, now lives in Gaziantep\, Turkey\, was born in Aleppo to a family with a passion for Inshad\, a form of Sufi choral singing. In 2003\, Ibrahim joined Aleppine Inshad groups as a professional Daf player. In 2006\, he started collecting Syrian musical heritage focusing on the orally passed-down\, almost lost musical heritage and the rare Muwashahat\, Qudud\, Maqamat\, rhythms and musical manuscripts and records. In 2012\, he fled to Turkey where he further cultivated his passion for traditional music. He got a certificate in the essentials of classical Turkish music from the Directorate of Culture in Gaziantep\,Turkey. Ibrahim is still studying the essentials of musical theories\, rhythms and maqamat of the Ottoman Music\, Oud playing and ethos of music with the master Mohammad Saif Addin Zein Al-Abedin. He is a co-founder and CEO of “Nefes Institution for Arts and Culture”. \n\nRihab Azar\, now lives in the UK\, was born in Homs\, Syria to a musical family. Her father\, luthier Samir Azar made her first oud and started teaching her when she was 7 years old. She continued her musical quest later at the Conservatoire of Damascus and was taught by masters of the oud in Syria. The influences at the Conservatoire included Azerbaijani\, Arabic\, Turkish and Western classical music. In 2014\, She became the first woman oudist to perform accompanied by the Syrian National Orchestra for Arabic Music. Rihab was the oud player of the “Syrian Female Oriental Takht” from 2006 until 2015\, the year in which she moved to the UK to study Music Education at University College London. Arts Council England recognised her as a musician of “Exceptional Promise” in December 2016. \n\nBakri Hemmami is a Syrian singer and musician based in Denmark\, where he was invited to many cultural and academic events to talk about the Syrian traditional and Sufi music\, and perform his art in front of the Danish Audience. \n\nMuhammad Fadel Kuj\, lives in Kristiansand\, Norway\, is a Syrian oriental performer and conductor. He studied classical music education and performing at Homs\, where he was born.

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.

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  URL:https://masahat.no/event/still-recording/ LOCATION:Vika Kino\, Ruseløkkveien 14\, Oslo\, 0251\, Norway CATEGORIES:Film,Samtale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/afd-still-recording.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20190301T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20190301T223000 DTSTAMP:20260409T055658 CREATED:20190301T190000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200925T201437Z UID:1903-1551470400-1551479400@masahat.no 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.

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.

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 URL:https://masahat.no/event/mapping-home-oslo-world-workshop/ LOCATION:Kulturhuset\, Youngs gate 6\, Oslo\, Oslo\, 0181\, Norway CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mapping-home-station.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20181103T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Oslo:20181103T160000 DTSTAMP:20260409T055658 CREATED:20181103T130000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190227T205535Z UID:1806-1541253600-1541260800@masahat.no 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 URL:https://masahat.no/event/freedom-to-remember-create-oslo-world-seminars/ LOCATION:Kulturhuset\, Youngs gate 6\, Oslo\, Oslo\, 0181\, Norway CATEGORIES:Samtale ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://masahat.no/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/freedom-to-create.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="masahat":MAILTO:info@masahat.no END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
