Discrimination, why? @ Dokkhuset at 19:00
The plenary sessions are an important part of ISFiT. We will kick it all off with a meeting with the theme discrimination and why it is so human to discriminate. We will, in other words, look at what discrimination is and why it occurs. The focus will be on the mechanisms behind discrimination, discriminatory practices, and how to battle these individually and structurally. With this as a base we have invited:
- - Kate Gilmore (AUS), UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights
- - Luca Dalen Espseth (NO), activist
- - Arnt Holte (NO), Secretary-General of the Norwegian Blind Union
- - Olga V. Lehmann (CO), NTNU PhD Candidate
- - Maryam al-Khawaja (BH), Human Rights Activist
Age limit: 18
Free entrance.
King Skurk One & 612 - Visuals by ljos @ Dokkhuset at 23:00
ISFiT’s main theme “Discrimination, why?” will be conveyed in a collaboration between concerts and art. The Oslo based rappers King Skurk One and 612 will perform and artist Pekka Stokke from ljos will create a video backdrop by remixing old-school mashups of various grotesque, vulgar, and funny YouTube clips.
