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

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

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