Kiyoshi Yamamoto, Mariam Gviniashvili, Ghazaal Nasiri are invited by Verdensrommet to discuss the conditions that made possible or difficult the flourishing of their artistic practices in Norway.
If all the bridges close: Art, education and institutions
Friday 28th of November, 17:00-18:30
Atelier Kunstnerforbundet Loft Kjeld Stubs gate 3, 0160 Oslo
Capacity: 40 people
We invited three art professionals who moved to Norway under a student permit in different years [Kiyoshi Yamamoto - KMD 2013, Mariam Gviniashvili - NMH 2020, Ghazaal Nasiri - KHiO 2024] to discuss the conditions that made possible or difficult the flourishing of their artistic practices in Norway. We will talk about allyship, mobility justice, art institutions and accountability. How can artists living in –or considering moving to Norway– be better equipped to react to unfavorable panoramas in education, budget cuts and migration?
Panelists: Kiyoshi Yamamoto, Mariam Gviniashvili, Ghazaal Nasiri
Moderator: Stacey De Voe
