- For a couple of years, I felt disconnected from all art forms. Being an artist under censorship and suppression often felt hopeless. But thankfully, art is more powerful than any dictatorship; it is part of what makes us human and cannot be silenced so easily. Slowly, the spark within me was reignited through a new artistic practice. - Saba Pouyeshamn.

Have a read of our latest article featuring our artist-in-residence, , a multidisciplinary artist from Iran who resisted having her art shaped by propaganda. Through her practice, she is finding new ways to shift the story, from suppression to imagination.

Our latest article - “Pouya Pour-Amin: An artist’s journey from fear to freedom”

— To have artistic freedom now is a totally new feeling for me. I didn’t know how it would feel. When I look back at this short period I have worked in freedom, I can see that things have started changing in the ways that I think and create art.

These are the words of Safemuse’s artist-in-residence, Pouya Pour-Amin, an exciting multifaceted artist who was born in Tehran and has over twenty years of experience from music, composition, sound design and performance.

Learn more about Pouya’s story, his refusal to stay silent in the face of threats, censorship and imprisonment, and his rebirth as a free artist. (Link in bio)

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.

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.
