Artilleriverkstedet Preus museum
24. feb. 2026
12.00 – 20.00
  • 1/1
    Elena Subach, Chairs, 2022 "I photographed chairs with the objects left on them, since they seemed to me like islands among waves of people, that is, places where one could stop and rest for a moment. And then all these people, like the waves, disappeared over the horizon, the unknown awaited them, but I know for sure: they all dream of returning home." Elena Subach

The aim is to create an arena for reflection and dialogue about how war and displacement affect the understanding of the concept of "home" – both on an individual level and in a broader geopolitical context. The seminar will be conducted in English.

Participation fee is 400,- for regular and 200,- for students, seniors and Ukrainians.
The fee includes food and bus round trip Oslo.

The seminar is kindly supported by Fritt Ord
