At this year's festival you are welcome to exciting talks, sessions and ceremonies for peace in the Karlsøy Festival's brand new building ~ Karlsøy Yurta!
Karlsøy Yurta is an arctic arena of 50m2 which is intended to be a space for the exploration of physical performing practices such as dance, performance art and other performing performing art forms. As a participant, you are invited to three unique, inspiring and genre-free workshops where we explore different practices that can challenge, expand and develop new perspectives on themes such as artivism through the body, art and collective resistance. The artistic exploration process will culminate in a joint festival screening on Saturday 4 August. Karlsøy Yurta's artistic team consists of: Ingvild Sivertsen, Batoul Nemr, Biniam Abbai Gezai, Noah M Roble, Marius Kolbenstvedt and Loan TP Hoang in collaboration with students from The Freedom Theater and Nordic Black Xpress.
