Interrupted Futures is an installation by Ramallah-based artist Shuruq Harb. Centered on the film Al-Mashrou’, the work brings a site in Palestine into dialogue with the local context of Oslo. Earth-toned surfaces reference the palette of Palestine, while swings suspended from the ceiling destabilize the viewer’s physical and perceptual vantage point.

Bring the whole family for a playful, exploratory day at BEK – Bergen Center for Electronic Arts at Nordnes.

Acoustic Laptop is a hands-on and exploratory workshop organised in collaboration with nyMusikk Bergen, where participants build their own electroacoustic instrument using contact microphones and self-selected materials. With a DIY approach to sound art, the workshop invites participants to listen to vibrations in wood, metal and other solid materials, and to explore a tactile and physical counterpoint to screen-based laptop music.

Presented in collaboration with BEK at Borealis, Vedøya – Laments to the birdmountain who lost their voice opens Borealis 2026 with a powerful, multidisciplinary stage work exploring the dramatic silencing of one of Northern Europe’s richest seabird colonies. Developed from Elin Már Øyen Vister’s long-term research project Soundscape Røst, the performance weaves together music, film, dance, field recordings and storytelling in a poetic reflection on loss, memory and ecological change.

The performance presents a collaborative audiovisual tapestry developed during a three-day workshop led by Cameron Graham, followed by a conversation with Zein Majali.
