Uke 9: Nothing to do on Tuesday? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered
NITJA
Porridge Club with dep.artment
24.02.26 7:00 - 13:00
This is your last chance to take part in an ongoing experiment connected to Paweł Stypuła’s (literal) residency within the exhibition “Imagine New Stories, Write New Rules”.
Whether you’re drawn to the shared aesthetic experience, curious about food as a social and political agent, interested in conversations with strangers, or simply tempted by a free breakfast, it might be worth catching a train to Lillestrøm. If you get there after 11:00, you can also visit the exhibition on the second floor.

No Master Territories: Feminist Worldmaking and the Moving Image
13.02.26 - 03.05.26
Featuring artists such as Barbara Hammer, Agnès Varda and Paper Tiger Television, this exhibition revisits a marginal yet vital tradition that merges documentary with experimental video and film traditions.
Politically engaged in both content and form, the artworks assembled by curators Erika Balsom, Silja Espolin Johnson and Clemens Ottenhausen, primarily from the 70s, 80s and 90s, attempt to reimagine and re-enchant the world as we know it.
This is an exhibition that rewards time and attention. We recommend seeing it, perhaps after Porridge Club, before heading to the National Museum.

Paul Gilroy: How does postcolonial art challenge the racial order?
24.02.26 17:30 - 19:00
Cultural theorist Paul Gilroy, author of the seminal work in critical race theory The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness, will give a lecture as a part of the programme accompanying Anawana Haloba’s exhibition, which we also recommend, if you haven’t visited it already!
Gilroy is one of the most influential living scholars in the field of Cultural Studies and was a doctoral student of Stuart Hall.The evening offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with his thinking on postcolonial art and race, an opportunity I, for one, am genuinely looking forward to.

With Hasan in Gaza (2025)
01.03.26 18:00 - 19:45
Director Kamal Aljafari reflects on memory and “catastrophe, and the poetry that resists” [1] through tapes from 2001. Nominated for the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival in 2025, the film will now be screened with English subtitles as part of Kunstnernes Hus Kino’s programme dedicated to films without Norwegian cinema distribution.
While the Global Sumud Flotilla is preparing to set sail again at the end of March, the screening is another way to reflect alongside the brave activists as well as the Palestinian people still affected by the violence in Gaza and the West Bank.
