Theme for the Conversation "at a Safe Distance"
Arif's exhibition at MUNCH takes the audience on an emotional journey between Zanzibar, where Arif's family has its roots, and Oslo. It is an immersive experience featuring new music from Arif, combined with film, light, interactivity, and events.
In connection with the exhibition, Oslo World UNG is curating a conversation centered around the experience of being Norwegian while also having close ties to countries and cultures that the majority population may not be familiar with.
What is it like to carry these experiences and this knowledge in Norway today? How does it shape the perspectives that diaspora youth have on the world, both in art and in daily life? Are there shared experiences and emotions across countries that should be highlighted as part of a collective conversation?
Many of us are impacted in Norway, yet in many ways, we remain at a safe distance. It’s easy to feel alone and isolated when you have strong connections to the places depicted in the news. It shouldn’t be that way – these conversations need to be part of our community if it is to remain whole.
Moderator: Goran Obad.
Panel: Helena Natvig Safi, Musti, and Ole Vujo.
Oslo World UNG is an initiative created by young adults (ages 18-24) that organizes concerts and discussions between socially engaged youth during the Oslo World festival. The project includes seminars and a fall tour where students from across the country participate in discussions and musical experiences. Oslo World UNG focuses on increasing diversity both on and behind the stages and serves as a talent development program to make future cultural scenes more inclusive. The program also provides skills development and networking opportunities for participants, with the goal of enhancing cultural offerings for young people and contributing to lasting changes in the cultural sector.
The program will contain elements that directly relate to Arif and his artistic influence, and some will be reminiscent of the film. Community is what binds everything together.
