The only way we can show our host families as well as the project how thankful we all are, is to inform other Norwegians about the current situation in the camps. We all know that without international pressure, nothing will change and my host family will continue to live in their tent and little brick house. As a consequence of this, we came up with the idea of organising a concert in Oslo with the title 'Have you heard about Western Sahara?'.
The event will take place at Månefisken 30th August 2012. Doors open at 19.00.
FREE ENTRY!
Richard Skretteberg from the Norwegian Refugee Aid will speak, as well as Ingrid Aas Borge, president of Changemaker, og Senia Bashir, a Saharawi refugee now currently living in Norway.
We are so lucky to have the most exciting band in Norway, 'Disaster In the Universe', playing. http://www.nrk.no/urort/
'Making Marks', a well-known indie-band (previously known as My Little Pony) will also entertain this evening. http://
'Bård Watn' will catch peoples’ attention with his guitar and distinct voice.http://www.bardwatn.com/
In addition to this will Sarah Ramin Osmundsen,
Norwegian champion in poetry from 2011, entertain, Kosti Kühler will show his
films from the refugee camp and Elisabeth Stubberud will hold a photo
exhibition from the same place.
We want the
place to be filled up with people interested in having a good night and learning
more about the Saharawi refugee camps in Algeria. After having followed this
blog for such a long time- we you assume you over normal interested in the
refugee camps- and there are no excuses for not showing up at the concert!
We promise
an excellent night, with good music, politics and art- all for free.
