WE ARE HERE. The National Museum’s annual cultural-mediation and research conference in collaboration with Queer Culture Year
This year’s cultural-mediation and research seminar is offered in conjunction with Queer Culture Year, the 2022 celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Norway, organised by the National Museum and other cultural actors.
The aim of this year’s seminar is to discuss, promote, and share norm-breaking perspectives and cultural-mediation practices that help to arouse interest in and to open up the art and cultural sphere to even more people.
The programme will be led by artist and activist Mabell Holand and producer and officer for diversity and inclusion at Sentralen, Ammal Ahmed Haj Mohamed.
