Åpent forum: Do We All Agree? + One Work Only: Ahmed Umar

Åpent forum: Do We All Agree? + One Work Only: Ahmed Umar

For the closing night of this season we are honoured to invite you to an interesting talk between Helle Siljeholm, Fadlabi, Ane Hjort Guttu, with Ahmed Umar’s Hijab (Annual protection) piece.

It is often said Norway is a consensus country, with a consensus culture where people seem to want to agree more than disagreeing. What challenges do these agreements evoke to artists? Do we face boundaries that lead to self-censorship to keep ourselves loyal to these agreements? Are we critical about them or do we benefit from them?


Ane Hjort Guttu: Visual artist, Filmmaker and professor at Oslo Academy of Fine Art.
