SUMMARY:Coping with racism: Applied drama workshop
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to “Coping with racism & building resilience – Applied drama workshop” with Mona Abdel-Fadil on Saturday 25 November\, 11:30-14:30 at Nordic Black Theater. \nHow do we cope with the various types of racist encounters that shape our lives? \nWe live in precarious times. Racist ideas may get entangled in war propaganda\, media framing\, public debates\, and our everyday lives. We may feel that some lives are considered more valuable than others\, and more worthy of either celebration\, embracing\, or even mourning. In this workshop we explore methods of improvised theatre (impro) and applied drama as tools to cope with racist experiences\, microaggressions and emotional triggers. \nSince the devastating and ongoing bombing of Palestinian civilians is a reality that affects many of us deeply – this event can provide a safe space to work through our emotions and emotional triggers\, through humor\, impro\, and theatrical techniques. \nEvent details\n\nInstruction language: English or Norwegian (depending on the group). Comments and contributions in Arabic are also welcome.\nFree event. No registration necessary\, Drop in.\nWe will start by serving a light brunch with soft drinks with Manaeesh (Syrian savory pies)\nThe workshop will be interactive so be prepared to immerse yourself in drama techniques.\n\nWhat you can expect\n\nA safe space where you can both share experiences and give one another emotional support.\nTo be introduced to ways of coping with experiences with racism\, through applied drama\, and counselling methods such as roleplay and playback.\nPractice our ability to both listen to\, understand one another’s perspectives\, and verbalize and show support for one another.\nIntroduction to humor and impro- exercises as a coping method and a means of diffusion of tension (comic relief).\n\nThe techniques and focus will be adjusted to the size of the group and what appear to be the most pressing issues at hand. \nMona Abdel-Fadil is an Egyptian-Norwegian diversity trainer\, counsellor\, researcher\, improviser\, and comedy performer. She is currently developing applied drama workshops and tools that help participants cope with: racism\, trauma\, and exclusion through humour and improvised theatre. At present\, Mona Abdel-Fadil is a researcher at The Norwegian Centre for Holocaust and Minority Studies. She is also one of the curators of the contemporary and research-based exhibition In/Visible: Everyday Racism in Norway.

SUMMARY:Ytringsrommet og krigen i Gaza
DESCRIPTION:Freedom of Expression and the War in Gaza \nThe Fritt Ord Foundation\, Masahat for Arab Culture in Exile\, and Vega Scene cordially invite the public to a conversation on Wednesday\, 29 November 2023 from 6 – 8 p.m. at Vega Scene in Hausmanns gate 30\, Oslo. \nAmund Bakke Foss\, chief advisor in the foreign news section at the newspaper VG\, will moderate a conversation with Jumana Manna\, an artist based in Berlin\, Nadim Khoury\, an associate professor at the Department of Law\, Philosophy and International Studies\, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences\, Sarah Lookofsky\, artistic director at Kunstnernes Hus\, Jon Martin Larsen\, senior lecturer in journalism at Kristiania University College and commentator for the media website M24\, and Nikolai Melamed Kleivan\, reporting manager and journalist at the newspaper Morgenbladet. \nFollowing Hamas’ attack on 7 October 2023 and Israel’s military invasion\, we are witnessing in Gaza the bloodiest war in our time. \nThe war is having severe consequences for human rights and freedom of expression. The right to express oneself\, to protest\, show anger and frustration\, take an anti-war stance\, to distance oneself from the violence\, and show solidarity with those who suffer\, is leading to new confrontations\, persecutions and bans. \nPalestinians in Gaza\, the occupied West Bank\, Jerusalem and inside Israel are being persecuted and punished for their words by the Israeli authorities and their supporters. Jewish Israeli activists also face sanctions when they criticize Israel’s warfare. The pursuit of free speech involves arrests\, interrogations\, and warnings. Social media\, including past posts\, are monitored for signs that people are supporting the Palestinian side. In recent weeks\, many Palestinian citizens in Israel have been suspended from universities and fired from their jobs. \nIn Germany and France\, pro-Palestinian demonstrations and shows of solidarity have been met with bans\, arrests and violence. Accusations of anti-Semitism against Palestinian cultural workers\, artists and academics have resulted in smear campaigns\, the cancellation of exhibitions\, and terminations of employment in several European cities. At the same time\, there are reports of an increasing number of anti-Semitic incidents in Europe\, the USA and Norway. The discursive climate of communication in the USA is also being strongly influenced by the war. \nReporting on the war in Gaza has proven to be challenging and dangerous due to the total lack of safe places to work. Roughly 40 journalists and media workers have been killed\, and the lack of physical access to the Gaza Strip and the war zone creates fertile ground for propaganda from both parties. A large generation of young people is discovering the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for the first time through social media images and videos. When they turn their attention to the edited media\, they find a dissonance between editor-led mainstream media and social media. \nIn this conversation\, we will discuss the challenges facing mainstream media; what it is like to be an Arab\, Muslim and Jew\, living through this war; anti-Semitism; cancellations; censorship and self-censorship in institutions; as well the double standards reflected in foreign policy – in Norway and internationally. \nThe conversation will also feature certain individuals and organizations invites to give short interventions during the event\, including Bergdis Joelsdottir\, director of Policy at Amnesty International Norway\, who is currently mapping the restrictions on freedom of expression in Europe as well as tech giants’ restrictions in light of the war. \nThe event will conclude with a dialogue with the audience\, followed by soup and open discussion until 9 p.m. \nRegister to the event
