Who we are and what we are working with

We would like to invite you to help us to create a Palestinian/Norwegian Network of Art between Palestinian and Norwegian Art Organizations.
The Palestine Committee of Norway has now founded an Arts Council that will encourage and promote cooperation in the Arts between Norway and Palestine.
Art has a different reach and approach than political activism and brings out the human aspects. Through cooperation on an artistic level we can broaden the relationships across borders.
Previous experiences show us that art can make bonds between cultures, and differs from other forms of  cooperation.
One of the main goals is to create a broader cooperation where we can get bigger impact. With artists united we can achieve more when it comes to the media and to shed light on Palestinian issues, while at the same time creating and exchanging Art.

Our Art Counsil are initiated and put together by
Käthe Øien, Visual Artist from Oslo
Marie Skeie, Textile Artist from Bergen
Lene E. Westerås, Author and Editor from Tromsø
