It has been five years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan – a period defined by shrinking human rights, silenced voices and the suppression of freedom. When political and kultural space shrinks, art becomes a powerful tool for freedom, survival and identity.

Join PEN Norway at Sentralen in Oslo for an inspiring evening where we dive into how artists, musicians, writers and cultural workers from Afghanistan continue to resist oppression and fight for freedom and human rights.

You will meet:
