INN - "ethnic minorities in Norwegian cultural life" invites you to an in-depth conversation during Oslo World, with "movement" as the theme. Music and art are essential for movement in life and society. Are we manifesting new ways of seeing the world and describing communities through art? In this conversation, we explore art's ability to inspire, influence and create movement in society. We also discuss how we can create the future we want as artists and citizens today.
The panel is presented by "INN - ethnic minorities in Norwegian cultural life", an organization for artists and cultural workers with an ethnic minority background in Norway. The members are professional performers, have positions of trust or work in the cultural field. As ethnic minorities, they count people with a background from other parts of the world than Europe, Norwegian national minorities and Sami.
