On the 12th of November, will release her album “Qaf” at in Oslo. The artists Anja Lauvdal and Marianna Sangita A Røe, who feature on the album, will be joining Ghawgha on stage for the release concert. ❤️

Thanks to a dedicated and talented group of artists and production team, this beautiful and important album is finally ready to be shared with the world.
The album is produced by OK World in cooperation with LIDIO/Safemuse.

For Ghawgha, the album “Qaf” is so much more than a musical work:
— It reflects years of search, observation, and experience. A journey that took me from my hometown to unfamiliar lands, traversing the streets where I grew up to the new borders I had to cross in search of a new identity. This album began as a personal journey but ultimately became the voice of those who share a similar experience; those who have faced loss and displacement in their quest for a home, and who continue to seek a new meaning for themselves, she says.

TUSEN TAKK til SV som i sitt alternative statsbudsjett for 2025 prioriterer 10 millioner kroner til trygge residenser for kunstnere i regi av Safemuse!

Et sterkt og fritt kulturliv er avgjørende for ytringsfriheten, og for et levende demokrati. SVs forslag vil bidra til å hegne om den frie kunsten og styrke ytringsmangfold både lokalt og globalt.

Menneskerettighetene vil alltid påvirke hverandre. Vi håper byrådet tar kunsten på alvor og vil arbeide sammen med oss alle for å styrke Oslo der menneskerettigheter, demokratibygging, kunst og kultur blir hegnet om.

Kate is a talented visual artist from Macau, currently based in Poland. She is also a researcher in vernacular photography and is about to complete her PhD. Her work explores identity by reshaping archives, photographs, and everyday objects. Kate participated in Safemuse’s artist residency in Hvitsten last summer and we feel fortunate to have her working with us for the next month!

Last summer, Kate presented an art installation at the annual art festival and this weekend she’ll return to Hvitsten to enjoy the festivities!

— I am so happy and excited to be back in Oslo and to have the chance to learn more about Safemuse, an organisation that values and protects artistic freedom. I look forward to contributing and learning from the inspiring members and artists of this community.

OPEN CALL - ARTISTIC RESIDENCY IN NORWAY IN 2025

Safemuse is organising artistic residencies in Oslo and Hvitsten with a focus on artistic freedom of expression, solidarity and collaboration.

The residencies have a duration of up to six months and artists from all artistic disciplines, who have experienced censorship, threats or persecution due to their artistic activity, are encouraged to apply.

Since 2022, Safemuse has together with Nordic Black Theatre & Cafeteatret, our partner in the Norwegian capital, invited international guest artists to the Oslo Safe Haven residency program.

In 2023, the program was, in collaboration with the local art institution Hvitsten Salong, expanded and Hvitsten Art Haven was established in the beautiful coastal town of Hvitsten - a mere 50 kilometers south of the capital.

Through the safe residency program, artists are given the opportunity to work freely, develop their art and build their artistic networks.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 14th of JULY 2024.

Please help us spread the word to relevant artists and artistic communities who may benefit from this opportunity!

Menneskerettighetsarbeid er ikke bare en mobilisering mot overgrep, men også en mobilisering for menneskelighet. Og der har kunsten og kunstnerne en rolle. Kunstnerne vår organisasjon bistår, ønsker å komme til Norge for å arbeide kunstnerisk uten frykt for sensur og straff. Men for dem synes muligheten for et residensopphold i Norge fjernt, om ikke umulig.

Ghawgha:
"LANDLESS TREE" - MIGRATION, DESTRUCTION and RESILIENCE

In her first EP release, Ghawgha Taban sings about a "tree without a land". About an eternally displaced body filled with memories of migration both as a direct personal experience and as a legacy of generations of "Afghan-Iranians" or "Afrans".
A strong debut from a brave singer who, together with some of Norway's leading musicians, conveys frustration, anger and hope.

Last Friday, 3 March, on the international Music Freedom Day and during the Safemuse event "Fri Kunst" (Artistic Freedom) at Riksscenen in Oslo, Ghawgha presented her new music together with keyboardist Anja Lauvdal and percussionist and singer Marianna Sangita A Røe.
A true, beautiful and very touching performance under the very powerful artistic banner-installation by an anonymous artist.

EP performers:
Ghawgha Taban – vokal
Anja Lauvdal – piano, harmonium, synth
Morten Qvenild – klavikord, piano, autoharp, Dulcitone, synth
P**l Nilssen-Love – perkusjon
Gjermund Kolltveit – tre-knirk
Arr: Ghawgha Taban, Anja Lauvdal, Morten Qvenild, Julian Skar
