NOOR produksjoner presents their project at MOTforestillinger

NOOR produksjoners Trond Peter Stamsø Munch presents NOOR's plans and productions. He explanes it as art as activism and activism as art.

MOTforestillinger is a festival that celebrates artivism – activist art and the art of activism – a force that can never be silenced. It offers a stage for artists who through their work express a necessary critique of Zionist ideology and government, its military policies and the occupation of Palestine.
The festival explore different ways art and activism confronts the occupation regime. It asks: What can we in civil society do in the struggle for a truly just solution in the Israel/Palestine conflict?
  MOTforestillinger was held for the first time in January 2015, as a response to the Norwegian National Theatre’s participation in the project “Terrorisms”, in which the Israeli National Theatre, Habima, also took part. Habima performs regularly in illegal settlements in the West Bank.
  NOOR produksjoners Tale Næss participated as a moderator and her poetry was presented. Here she reads her own poem "to Gaza on the 31st of July", together with the palestinian author Akram Musallam. The poem was read in english and arabic.
