Beyond the binary, a queer walk in our categories

    For this year's festival, the workshop is presented with the philosophical title "beyond the binary, a queer walk in our categories". The format is the free workshop where the participants, through discussion, dialogue, walking and interactions with nature, themselves and others, can question how we ourselves understand the world in binary systems and what limitations it leads to. Content and angle are created in meetings with the participants.
    The workshop is facilitated by Eiv Rindal, who is an activist in Trondheim on a daily basis.

          Ministry of Peace

            _The Ministry of Peace has been created as a reaction to the fact that it does not exist
            more and stronger basic structures in the Norwegian state that support
            and makes room for voices for peace and non-violent conflict management i
            encounter with chaos, unrest and war. Like a handful of other countries in
            world, Norway should also have its own ministry for peace. Awaiting
            of this, the band puts forward some proposals for matters that the ministry could deal with, in the form of music and slam poetry."_
