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

SUMMARY:Grief and Activism: How not to Burn Out
DESCRIPTION:How do we support ourselves and each other in pain and loss\, in ways that minimize our risk of drowning in it and taking it out on each other? I want to offer a 90-minute session for humble exploration of how we can live and work kindly and creatively with our grief\, fear\, anger and feelings of helplessness and guilt. The session is an experimental combination of workshop and ceremony structured around 5 of my songs\, with suggestions for individual inquiries and mutual sharing in the spaces between them. \nLet’s co-create a space with room to listen and reflect\, feel and contain\, flow and ground. Bring something to write with and on\, your grieving\, your wisdom and your questions and be welcome.

SUMMARY:Harnessing SWANA Diaspora Power
DESCRIPTION:In this pivotal discussion\, we will dive deep into how our diaspora communities can strategically leverage their power\, not only to advance the cause of Palestinian liberation but to lay the foundation for a stronger\, freer region for all our peoples. Throughout history\, diaspora communities have been at the forefront of transformative liberation movements. With the rise of a new generation of activists and voices\, now is the time to hone our strategies\, sharpen our tactics\, and organize with purpose to build real\, enduring power. \nWhat is happening in Palestine puts us at the brink of igniting a wider movement that has the potential to reshape the future of the entire region. This isn’t just about solidarity; it’s about mobilizing our collective strength to dismantle the systems of oppression that hold us back and to chart a new course toward freedom and justice. \nJoin us for this essential conversation\, where we will tap into the immense potential of the Arab and SWANA diaspora community in Norway. Together\, we will share insights\, engage in strategic thinking\, and undergo training that will empower us to reclaim our power\, break the chains of oppression\, and build a brighter\, liberated future for all our peoples. \nWhat is happening in Palestine puts us at the brink of igniting a wider movement that has the potential to reshape the future of the entire region.

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

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

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

SUMMARY:Vigil for Palestine
DESCRIPTION:We are approaching one year of a perpetrated genocide in Gaza with no immediate ceasefire in sight and with mounting threats that a regional war would break out. We are angry and resentful of our impotent politicians and institutions who have so far not stopped the sale of arms to the Zionist entity or took any concrete measure to divest from the Israeli settler regime\, which we view as complicity with genocide and with any escalations into a regional war taking place. We invite activists and Palestine supporters to join us in a nightly vigil to grieve our Palestinian martyrs\, the incarceration and torture of Palestinian children\, women and men\, and the massive destruction and erasure of Palestinian lives\, ecologies and culture. This protest vigil is for us to share our anger and grief in front of the Parliament. This vigil will showcase solidarity with Palestine through artistic commissioned works by Norwegian\, Arab and Palestinian cultural practitioners. \nProgram\n\nOpening address: Kari Veiteberg\, Bishop of Oslo\nPolitical address: Line Khateeb\, Leder av Palestina Komitee\nMoment of Silence\nScreening on Stortingets wall of Videos for Palestine by Video Tract for Palestine\nCollective\, Mira Adoumie\, Islam Shabana\nPoetry Readings by Bendik Vada\, Ninthu Paramalingam\, Mahmud Beshtawy\nCarnivalesque Performance “Songs of Anemone” by Farah Azrak.\n\n  \nThis vigil is a collaboration between Palkom\, Aksjonsgruppa for Palestina and Masahat. The artistic program is made possible through a generous grant from KORO.

SUMMARY:Masahat Community Dinner: Bread\, Dignity\, and Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Bli med på Masahat community dinner der vi feirer fellesskapet med fire-retters middag\, poesi\, musikk og historiefortelling på Himmelsalen på BLÅ. \nMatsikkerhet er ofte en av hovedårsakene til at folk tar til gatene i protest over hele verden. Historisk sett har mat ofte blitt brukt av kolonimakter som et verktøy for undertrykkelse ved å tvinge samfunn i kne gjennom sult og kalorikontroll. På den andre siden har aktivister over hele verden brukt mat til å reparere samfunnsbånd gjennom å organisere gatekjøkken og matdistribusjon til massene i revolusjonære perioder. I denne samfunnsbyggende handlingen\, som setter fokus på matens rolle i masse­mobilisering\, vil deltakerne få smake og lære om historien til visse retter og de kreative måtene mat har blitt brukt som en form for protest på. \nVåre talentfulle og politisk motiverte kokker (Chef: Thuraya al-Kury\, Sous Chef: Andreas Leibe Delsett) vil tilberede en fire-retters middagsmeny som feirer fellesskapets matlagings- og spisemåter ved å gjenskape retter som har blitt ikoniske og viktige for samfunn i opprør. \nMiddagen vil også inneholde et kulturprogram med musikk\, poesi og fortellinger: \n\nDet blir diktopplesning og boksignering av Tunga mi protesterer mot døden: Palestinsk dikt av Bendik Vada.\nVi får også musikkopptreden med U- 3 som skal spille sørafrikanske sjangerbrytende rytmer med dyp forpliktelse til samfunnsreparasjon.\nMC og historieforteller Mona Abdel-Fadil\n\nDet blir servert 4 retter av kokk Thuraya al-Kury og sous-kokk Andreas Leibe Delsett

SUMMARY:Klubbkveld med Safira + DJ Refel & VATHAN / BLÅ
DESCRIPTION:Masahatfestivalen 2024 inviterer til klubbkveld på BLÅ! 20. september har vi tre dyktige DJ-er som skal sørge for god stemning og liv på dansegulvet med musikk fra forskjellige hjørner i verden. \nHeadliner for kvelden er Safira\, som har vært en drivkraft på den norske DJ-scenen og har gjort seg bemerket ved å samle folk gjennom musikk. Hennes musikalske stil varierer fra dype\, mørke og atmosfæriske toner til leken og psykedelisk techno. Safiras visjon om samhold fortsetter med utviklingen av hennes egne kulturelle bevegelse og eventkonseptet Extra Delicious. Dette konseptet har de siste fem årene vært med på å skape en plattform hvor artister i Norge kan opptre\, nettverke og utvikle talentene sine sammen. DJ Safira har dratt på flere turneer på forskjellige kontinenter\, og tar alltid med seg driv og inspirasjon når hun kommer tilbake. \n  \nUnder kvelden får vi også høre fra de talentfulle DJ-ene Refel og VATHAN. \nDJ Refel er en lokal Oslo-DJ med røtter fra Irak. DJ Refel har siden 2019 spilt på de største klubbene i Oslo\, der hun har hatt en rykende lidenskap for å spille eksperimentelle lyder og musikkstiler fra sør for ekvator\, eller fra diasporaen som kommer fra det territoriet. \nVATHAN er født og oppvokst i Oslo\, og tar inspirasjon fra sine tamilske røtter sammen med en lidenskap for elektronisk musikk. Resultatet av det blir en unik blanding av sørasiatiske elementer\, house og techno. Settene hans går fra lekne og lette begynnelser til mørke og svette finaler\, som holder publikum energiske og rytmen groovy. Bli med på en uforglemmelig kveld\, og kjøp billettene dine NÅ!

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

SUMMARY:Carnival of Grief: Songs of Anemone
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Anemone – cries of the land and its people\, is a series of events occupying grief practice as a radical form of protest and an act of defiance of all oppressive colonial systems prevalent in our world. Standing on the foundation of grief as the very fabric that holds us together\, we will dive into the subject through a two weeks residency to draw on a collective map of grief through voice and body\, later\, manifesting symbols and words into masks and puppet-making\, subsequently offering various public iterations of ritual and performance\, as acts to restore our humanity and capacity to acknowledge the mass collective loss that we are enduring. \nWe hope to amplify the echoes of our brutal times\, to defy the silencing establishment\, and reclaim our right to publicly mourn the vast expanse of our losses\, and express our outrage against all injustices. From the on-going carnage of exterminating people and their culture\, to the devastatingly disappointing paralysis of international human rights law\, and the daily extinction of species on our earth\, we come together to honor the death of every innocent life and living form\, and stand in solidarity with all those who are are facing unimaginable systematic savagery and horror. It is our collective responsibility to weave our bodies together in communal practice\, and begin to dismantle exercised systems of violence and what it means for genocide and ecocide to be our present reality\, and how might we respond to such sustained atrocities.

SUMMARY:Poems of Consumption / Hamed Sinno med live strykekvartett 
DESCRIPTION:Det er med stor glede at Masahatfestivalen 2024 og Ultima presenterer den ikoniske libanesisk-amerikanske Hamed Sinno med deres solodebut Poems of Consumption på Riksscenen den 21. september. \nHamed Sinno er tidligere vokalist i det legendariske indie-rock bandet\, Mashrou’ Leila.  \nDet kritikerroste «Poems of Consumption» er en litterær sangsyklus og en multimediaforestilling som utforsker temaer som overforbruk\, psykisk sykdom\, kjærlighetssorg og klimaendringer. Stykket ble fremført på Londons Barbican Centre i juli 2023. Delvis inspirert av Mark Fishers “Capitalist Realism”\, bruker Sinno poesi skrevet som produktanmeldelser på nettbutikken Amazon for å uttrykke følelser rundt den øyeblikkelige tilfredsstillelsen som følger med netthandel og overforbruk.  \nHamed vil opptre sammen med en norsk strykekvartett: \n\nMagnus Boye Hansen (fiolinist)\nJon Mehus (fiolinist)\nBendik Bjørnstad Foss (bratsjist)\nInga Byrkjeland (cellist)\n\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nHamed Sinno er komponist\, forfatter og kunstner. Deres research bruker fremføring for å utforske stemmen og digital vokalitet som sted for politisk forhandling. Sinno skriver og foreleser om populærkultur som engasjert praksis.

SUMMARY:Den gamle nye Levanten: Film + samtale
DESCRIPTION:As part of HUMAN International Documentary Film Festival\, this event presents a program of short films curated by Masahat\, followed by a panel discussion with Nadim Khoury\, Rana Issa\, and Zeina Bali. \nIn recent months\, the Levant has witnessed dramatic upheavals: an ongoing genocide in Gaza\, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank\, Israel’s war on Lebanon and the assassination of the Hezbollah leadership\, and the fall of Assad’s 54-year rule in Syria. At the same time\, we keep hearing about Netanyahu and Trump’s plans to redraw the map of the Middle East. \nBut how has this map evolved over the past half century? \nThrough film screenings and conversation\, we take a historical look at the spirals of violence\, wars\, and militarization that have shaped Levantine society for more than 50 years. With a post-nationalist perspective\, we want to shed light on the regional lines that have characterized the small nations of the Levant. \n\nRead more & buy tickets\n \n  \n\nShort film program\n  \nSwords Take Me \nIn one of his poems\, poet Mohsen al Ha’eri\, speaking in the voice of Imam Hussein (the son of Imam Ali and\, after his father\, the second of the twelve Shi’a Imams) prior to his martyrdom in the battle of Karbala\, says: “If the religion of Mohamed shall not prevail but through my killing/ Then O swords take me”. This video attempts to look at the mythological and metaphysical aspects of Lebanon’s July 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah. \n2012\, 30 minutes\, arabic speech with english subtitles.\nDirector: Marwan Hamdan. \n  \nStep by Step\nStep by Step is a reflection of the foundations of Syrian society under Assad rule. Ten years before filmmaker Ossama Mohammed received international recognition with Stars in Broad Daylight (1988) and 36 years before his award winning film Silvered Water – Syria Self Portrait 2014)\, he captured the dire state of Syria in this short documentary.Through the film’s experimental style\, a harsh reality emerges closer to the surface. The apparently harmonious countryside turns out to be choking and violent. The effects of this are clearly demonstrated as a soldier talks about his childhood\, in between the impressions of village life. Freedom and innocence have made way for a disturbing\, fanatical loyalty to the state. Is this a reflection of the foundations of Syrian society under Assad’s rule? \n1979\, 24 minutes\, arabic speech with english subtitles.\nDirector: Ossama Mohammad. \n  \nDetail 4 \nInauguration of the Meir Kahana bible school in Tapu’ah\, one of the most extreme Jewish settelements in the occupied territories. \n2004\, 5 minutes\, hebrew speech with english subtitles.\nDirector: Avi Mograbi. \n  \nInterview with Ghassan Kanafani \nPopular Front for the Liberation of Palestine spokesman Ghassan Kanafani interviewed by Richard Carleton\, Beirut 1970. \n1970\, 7 minutes\,\nDirector: Unknown. \nAbout the directors\nMarwan Hamdan is a Lebanese filmmaker and artist whose works explore Beirut’s political and social modern history\, with a particular focus on religion\, mythology\, belief and systems of power. Filmography: “News from Rmeileh (2018)\, “Offside” (2015)\, “On Earth As It Is In Heaven” (2014)\, “Separation Anxiety” (2013)\, “O Swords Take Me” (2012). \nOssama Mohammad is a Syrian filmmaker\, screenwriter and lecturer. His fiction and documentary films “Silvered Water” (2014)\, “Sunduq al Dunya” (2002) and “Nujoom Al Nahar” (1988) have all been selected for the Cannes Film Festival. His films have been banned in Syria\, but have received critical acclaim and several awards internationally. In 2015\, he received the Prince Claus Award. Ossama currently lives in exile in Paris. \nAvi Mograbi is an Israeli filmmaker and video artist\, born in 1956 in Tel Aviv\, where he lives and works to this day. Mograbi is one of Israel’s most acclaimed filmmakers\, and is best known for his unwavering commitment to social\, cultural and political justice in the Middle East\, as well as his experimental and innovative cinematic language. Mograbi’s documentaries have been programmed by festivals around the world\, including Cannes\, Berlin\, Venice\, Rome\, New York\, FID Marseille\, Vision du Reel and San Francisco\, among others. \nThe final filmmaker is unknown\, but here is a little about the journalist who interviews in “Ghassan Kanafani”: Richard George Carleton (July 11\, 1943 – May 7\, 2006) was an Australian television journalist\, who eventually produced films abroad\, such as in Indonesia (he was the only journalist allowed to visit the newly “integrated” East Timor) and in the Middle East.

SUMMARY:Masahat 2025 åpningskonsert: Emel
DESCRIPTION:I anledning sitt 10-årsjubileum er Masahat stolte av å samarbeide med Cosmopolite for å presentere to ekstraordinære kvinnelige stemmer fra Nord-Afrika. \nFestivalen åpner med Emel\, en av Tunisias mest ikoniske artister\, etterfulgt av en fredagskonsert med den sjelfulle marokkanske sangeren Oum. \n  \n\n18:00 Dørene åpner\n19:00 Konsertstart\n\n  \nSiden gjennombruddet i 2011 med låten “Kelmti Horra” (“Mitt ord er fritt”) – en hymne for den arabiske våren – har Emel Mathlouthi vært en fryktløs stemme for frihet og kunstnerisk nytenkning. \n  \nHennes fjerde album\, “MRA” (som betyr kvinne på arabisk)\, er et dristig manifest for kvinnelig frigjøring. Derfor er alle som har bidratt til albumet – produsenter\, musikere og gjesteartister – kvinner. Resultatet er en sjangeroverskridende miks der afrikansk trap\, batucada\, arabisk reggaeton\, hiphop og drum’n’bass smelter sammen med sterke melodier og styrkende budskap. \n  \nEmel har etablert seg som en avantgarde kunstner på den internasjonale scenen\, kjent for sin gripende stemme og sjangerbrytende musikk. \n  \nEt av hennes mest minneverdige øyeblikk var da hun opptrådte på Nobels fredspriskonsert i 2015. Hun har samarbeidet med Valgeir Sigurdsson (Björk\, Sigur Rós)\, Tricky\, Barbara Pravi\, Bachar Mar-Khalifé\, Vitalic\, og senest Acid Arab på låten “Lose My Mind”. \n  \nKjøp en kombinasjonsbillett til både Emels konsert (onsdag 17. sept) og Oums konsert (fredag 19. sept) til rabattert pris \n\nOrdinær pris – enkelbillett: 350/300\,-\nOrdinær pris – kombobillett: 600/550\,-\n\n\n\n“Med sitt helkvinnelige album […] endrer Emel spillet.” — VOGUE \n  \n“Med sitt sensuelle uttrykk\, flerspråklige tekster\, pulserende elektronika og stilfulle kostymer\, fremstår Emel som en arabisk slektning av Björk.” — The Times (WOMAD festival) \n  \n“Emels sjelfulle musikk traff akkurat det uttrykket jeg ønsket å formidle.” — Shirin Neshat via The New York Times \n  \n“WOMAD-anmeldelse: Den Björk-lignende glamouren til den tunisiske-amerikanske Emel […] . En av helgens mest kraftfulle øyeblikk da hennes utrolige multi-oktav-stemme fylte rommet.” — The Guardian \n

SUMMARY:Collaborating with Gazan Artists today
DESCRIPTION:Kunstnernes Hus — September 18\, 10:00–12:00 \n  \nThe genocide in Gaza has devastated every aspect of Palestinian life. No one in Gaza is safe\, and no one who has witnessed this crime will ever forget it. In the gap between those who witness and those who endure the violence directly\, urgent questions arise: How do we speak about Gaza? How do we act in solidarity with its people? \n  \nIn Norway\, Palestinian artists have been especially attentive to these questions—reflecting on how our artistic and cultural expressions often fall short of conveying the Gazan experience of genocide. The panel we have invited consists entirely of artists who have redirected their practice and resources to stand with colleagues and friends in Gaza. Their goal is clear: to ensure that Gazan artists break through the siege and mass killing\, and speak in their own voices despite ongoing attempts to silence them. \n  \nThis conversation asks: What does it mean to collaborate with artists in Gaza today? What does it mean to make art during a genocide? And how does the extermination of Palestinians compel us to rethink our artistic tools\, languages\, and practices? \n  \nPanelists\n  \nMotaz Al Habbash\n A Palestinian artist\, producer\, and curator residing in Norway. He primarily works with video and runs the mentoring program Here and There and the art and culture platform It is hard to be Arab. His current film project The Donkey of October 7th—in collaboration with Mustafa Nabieh—focuses on the situation of donkeys in Gaza. His work includes the installation Stolen Well (Qattan Foundation\, Ramallah\, 2024) and the seven-hour live program with Gazan artists Gaza (a)live (2016). \n  \nCarmel Alabbasi\n A Palestinian visual artist whose practice spans video\, sound\, writing\, sculpture\, and installation. With a background in journalism and social anthropology\, and an MFA from KHIO (Oslo)\, Carmel’s work explores absence and disappearance\, confronting colonial and patriarchal erasures of people\, spaces\, and identities. \n  \nDahaleez Collective \n A research art collective founded in Gaza in 2021 by artists and researchers Khaled Jarada\, Rahaf Batniji\, Salman Nawati\, Majdal Nateel\, Carmel Al-Abbasi\, Mahmoud Abu Wardeh\, and Mahmoud Al-Shaer. Originating with the project Geography of Divine Magic at Beit Al-Ghussein Cultural and Heritage House\, the collective examines Palestinians’ temporal and spatial realities under siege. Dahaleez develops collaborative and analytical tools to envision liberation and reconstruction of Palestine. \n  \nAyman Azraq\n A filmmaker\, photographer\, and mixed-media artist. His short film The Passport has screened at the National Museum of Cinema (Turin)\, Cologne International VideoArt Festival\, and elsewhere. His work includes Oslo Syndrome (Autumn Exhibition\, Oslo; Dubai International Film Festival; London Palestinian Film Festival)\, the collaborative installation WALL-1\, and the documentary Into My Lungs (Kunstnernes Hus\, 2022). His mixed-media installation The Lost Tapes of a People’s Tribunal 1982 was exhibited at Fotogalleriet (2023/24). In 2023\, he launched the Artist to Artist Project\, a digital residency supporting Gazan artists\, culminating in the exhibition For You at Tenthaus and Podium. He has also exhibited at Nitja Center for Contemporary Art and Rogaland Kunstsenter. \n  \nDrew Snyder (Moderator)\n An art historian and curator based in Oslo.

SUMMARY:Radical Pedagogy: Lessons from Palestine
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to welcome Munir Fasheh as  one of this year’s keynote guests. \nMunir is a mathematician who chose to leave academia to explore new ways of understanding and practicing learning. Together with others\, he founded an organization that rethinks education as a tool for liberation. \nHe summarizes his life with two words: occupation and return. Munir was among the first group of refugees in the modern Middle East\, when in 1948—as a Palestinian—he and his family lost both their house and their land. Even the mathematics in his home was “occupied\,” replaced by the logic of schools and universities\, influenced by Western philosophers such as Bertrand Russell. \nFor Munir\, knowledge became a form of “return”—not yet to land and home\, but to himself. In the Arabic language\, he discovered liberating perspectives\, such as muthanna\, the dual form that breaks down the binary between “I” and “You.” Another key concept for him is mujaawarah—“to be a neighbor”—a way of learning through stories\, relationships\, and community rather than through abstract theories. \nIn his keynote at Masahat Festival 2025\, Munir will share his experiences as a teacher and thinker. He will inspire us to dismantle structures of knowledge that confine us and show how stories\, words\, and new ways of relating can open up paths toward liberation. \n📅 18 September 2025 · 18:00📍 Litteraturhuset\, Oslo💫 Free entrance – open to all

SUMMARY:Community Dinner with Thurayya Alkury and Henrik Henriksen
DESCRIPTION:📍 Venue: Kunstnernes Hus📅 Date & Time: Thursday\, September 18\, 2025\, at 19:30🎟️ Ticket price includes: \n\n\nA five-course dinner \n\n\nLive performance by Ghenwa Noiré — cross-disciplinary performer\, illustrator\, and workshop facilitator. In music\, Ghenwa explores improvisation with their electro-bouzouqi setup and vocals. \n\n\nA cultural program \n\n\n🍷 Drinks complementing the menu will be available for purchase at the bar.⚠️ Some dishes contain milk and gluten; alternatives can be provided as a double portion. \n\nMasahat’s beloved community dinner will be hosted this year at Kunstnernes Hus\, featuring a five-course menu crafted by Palestinian chef and artist Thurayya Alkury (Hummus Sapiens\, Ostara) in collaboration with chef and food writer Henrik Henriksen (MUNCH Museum Restaurants\, Ben Reddik). \nGjestebud for gjestfriheten (Feast for Hospitality) brings together culinary traditions from the Arab world and Norway\, inviting us to reflect on what hospitality means today—what it is to host\, and to be hosted—in a world where borders\, histories\, and identities remain deeply entangled. \nThe dishes and the stories you will encounter are made to inspire hope\, resilience\, and belief in our shared capacity to carry one another through difficult times. The menu draws inspiration from the writings of Munir Fasheh\, Masahat’s keynote guest\, particularly his reflections on turab (soil) as a metaphor for connection and belonging. \nSome dishes will be served on ceramic platters designed by Halvor Skiftun Digernes and food writer Andreas Liebe Delsett\, originally created for a commemorative meal honoring a persecuted Afghan writer in Bodø. The evening will also feature a performance by Ghenwa Noiré. \nAs Masahat celebrates its 10-year anniversary\, this edition of Gjestebud for gjestfriheten closes a decade with a gesture of care and continuity: a taste of Arab hospitality and Norwegian traditions\, interwoven with flavors from diaspora cultures—shared in the company of artists\, activists\, and community builders who create spaces of solidarity in our city. \n\n\nAbout the chefs\nPlayful and experimental in the kitchen\, Thurayya Alkury never follows a written recipe but instead listens to what she calls the “whispers of the ancestors.” As a Palestinian in the diaspora\, now based in Oslo\, she often serves Levantine food at festivals and community gatherings. Her greatest joy comes from storytelling\, creating spaces of healing and togetherness\, and inviting people into unconventional sensory and embodied experiences. \nHenrik Johannes Henriksen \nHenrik is a chef\, restaurateur\, and writer with a background in film and the cultural field. He has been behind restaurants such as Taco Republika\, Ben Reddik\, and Mangelsgården\, and is now responsible for all dining experiences at MUNCH. With over ten years of experience as a food writer\, he has explored ingredients\, traditions\, and food culture with a particular eye for how human history is reflected in gastronomy. \nHenrik views food as more than taste and technique—it is a language that tells us who we are\, where we come from\, and how we are connected. Through his work\, he links historical perspectives with contemporary needs\, developing concepts that carry meaning both culturally and culinarily. With his unique combination of creativity\, expertise\, and entrepreneurship\, he has established himself as a strong voice in Norwegian gastronomy. \n\n\n\n\n\n \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Rawabet — a collective initiative led by Ettijahat – Independent Culture and implemented in partnership with GEZMATAZ\, VOCE\, coculture\, Masahat\, and Transversal Project.  \n\nRawabet is supported by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the Creative Europe programme.

SUMMARY:The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner
DESCRIPTION:The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner interrogates the true story of one of the most wanted Nazi criminals to escape sentencing. Instrumental to the deportation of over 100\,000 people to concentration camps and ghettos\, Alois Brunner evaded numerous arrest attempts – fleeing to Damascus where he was instrumental in building Syria’s intelligence services. Arriving in 21st century Berlin as a refugee\, Syrian playwright Mudar Alhaggi discovers Brunner’s story and begins to research obsessively before disappearing… \nIn this gripping play\, we meet two actors piecing together the fragments of Alhaggi’s research as personal experience\, world history\, truth and fiction all collide. Weaving together Syrian and German history\, The Long Shadow of Alois Brunner explores exile\, accountability and political memory – and the complex thread that ties the past to the present. It raises searing questions about refuge\, justice and hope. \n  \nPress\n“…tense mystery of missing writer and Nazi fugitive… slippery\, intriguing and full of nuance…” The Guardian ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ \n“A striking piece of theatre that will stay for me for a long time\, probably forever” Theatre Reviews North ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ \nCreative Team\n\nText: Mudar Alhaggi\nDirection: Omar Elerian\nActors: Wael Kadour and Mohammad Al Rashi\nDesign: Jonas Vogt\nSound & Music: Vincent Commaret\nResearch and dramaturgical advice: Eric Altorfer\nProducer International: Eckhard Thiemann\n\nCredits\nThis presentation is part of Masahat festival 2025\, in partnership with Nordic Black Theater and is supported by Perform Europe as part of the Collective Ma’louba tour project.

SUMMARY:Om Kamp\, Om Kjærlighet
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to welcome Sumayo Jirde Cali (formerly Sumaya Jirde Ali) as the keynote speaker for Masahat Festival 2025. \nWith her keynote Om kamp\, om kjærlighet (On Struggle\, On Love)\, Sumayo invites us into a powerful reflection on hospitality — as personal experience\, political responsibility\, and collective practice. \nThrough the lens of her many lived identities — as a poet\, playwright\, literary critic\, anthropologist\, Somali\, Black\, Muslim woman — she asks: \n\nWhat does it mean to treat hospitality as a radical act?Can it become a foundation for more just\, inclusive\, and sustainable communities? \n\n\nSumayo Jirde Cali has made her mark on Norwegian literature with work that confronts racism\, power\, and silence. She writes to make visible what is often erased — and to create space for those pushed to the margins. \nCritic Oda Faremo Lindholm (VG) describes her voice as “painful and beautiful about what is brutally ugly.” \nIn Morgenbladet\, Tonje Vold hears echoes of Angela Davis and bell hooks — Black feminist thinkers who urged women to love and save themselves first. \nJoin us for an evening of poetry\, conversation\, and collective reflection. This keynote will speak to anyone questioning belonging\, identity\, and the possibilities of community. \nDate: Saturday\, 20 September 2025Time: 17:00–18:30Location: Dattera til Hagen\, OsloAdmission: Free and open to all \nSumayo Jirde Cali (b. 1997) is a Norwegian-Somali poet\, writer\, and cultural critic. She debuted with Kvinner som hater menn in 2017\, followed by Melanin hvitere enn blekemiddel\, Ikkje ver redd sånne som meg\, and Når jeg ser havet\, slokner lyset. \nShe is the recipient of several awards including:– The Oslo Prize for “Voice of the Year”– The Zola Prize– The Amalie Skram Prize– The Freedom of Expression Prize from the Norwegian Authors’ Union– Årets Bodøværing (Citizen of the Year in Bodø) \n📸 Photo: Lina Hindrum

SUMMARY:The Frida Marida Show  x  Dragon Blood by Only Slime
DESCRIPTION:Practical Information\n📍 Venue: Det Norske Teatret📅 Date: September 20\, 2025 \n🕔 Program: \n\n\n16:30 → Dragon Blood by Only Slime \n\n\n19:00 → The Frida Marida Show (duration: 1.5 hours) \n\n\n🌍 Language: English🎟️ One ticket gives you access to both performances. \nThis performance is for Adults only \n\n\nA Night of Fantasy\, Music & Radical Hospitality\n  \nMasahat\, in collaboration with Ultima\, Det Norske Teatret\, Karmaklubb and Only Slime\, proudly presents The Frida Marida Show. \nWith support from Masahat and as part of the RAWABET project\, Frida transforms a car steering wheel into a drum\, tracing her personal journey — from a young man in Lebanon dreaming of music\, to a woman\, singer\, and songwriter in Oslo. Life’s unexpected turns echo in rhythm and sound. \nThe evening opens with Dragon Blood by Only Slime\, unfolding inside an immersive dinner-style installation: chandeliers\, tables instead of rows\, and performers moving among the audience. Everyone becomes part of the artwork. Guests are encouraged to wear imaginative\, fantasy-inspired costumes. \nAt 19:00\, Frida takes the stage with five musicians\, two dancers\, and a set of out-of-the-box concepts. She embraces Masahat’s 2025 theme of hospitality by singing in eight languages — inviting audiences into a shared cultural space across borders. \nThe night culminates with the launch of Frida Marida’s groundbreaking music video Fri Da Nipple — where six electronic boob-triggers become live instruments. Sound\, body\, and technology merge in a drag performance that redefines both music and art. \n \nThis event is presented in collaboration with Rawabet — a collective initiative led by Ettijahat – Independent Culture and implemented in partnership with GEZMATAZ\, VOCE\, coculture\, Masahat\, and Transversal Project.  \nRawabet is supported by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the Creative Europe programme.
