December kl.17:30-19:00 "Returning memories masquerade in light and shadow, and windows, or in some everyday object. They don’t reveal themselves easily, and this is what makes them interesting." — Mohammed Sami Get to know Mahammed Sami and his work Yesterday on Shelves through a poetic ekphrasis and writing workshop. The event will be held in English (but you can write in your preferred language). Sign up here: https://afmuseet.ticketco.events/no/nb/e/skriverksted__yesterday_on_shelves Writing Art introduces a new series of events exploring recent works in the Astrup Fearnley Collection through the practice of ekphrasis. In collaboration with poet Ibrahim Nasser, Head of Education Marie Vallestad will guide participants through selected artworks and creative writing sessions. Audiences are invited to experience the artworks through their own poetic interpretations. In the third writing workshop, we turn to the painting Yesterday on Shelves (2023) by Mohammed Sami (b. 1984, Baghdad, Iraq). Sami’s artistic practice revolves around episodic memory – the recollection of personal experiences and individual events. Having fled Iraq in 2007, his paintings explore belated memories as they suddenly and unexpectedly resurface through everyday objects or sensory impressions. Drawing on the traditional use of metaphor and euphemism in Arabic literature, his works articulate war, loss, and exile in an indirect way, often through depicting seemingly ordinary objects. _ Skriveverksted | Yesterday on Shelves Onsdag 3. desember kl.17:30-19:00 "Returning memories masquerade in light and shadow, and windows, or in some everyday object. They don’t reveal themselves easily, and this is what makes them interesting." — Mohammed Sami Bli kjent med Mahammed Sami og verket hans Yesterday on Shelves gjennom poetisk ekfrase og skriveverksted. Arrangementet holdes på engelsk (men du kan skrive på det språket du vil). Påmelding her: https://afmuseet.ticketco.events/no/nb/e/skriverksted__yesterday_on_shelves Skriveverksted introduserer en serie arrangementer der vi bruker ekfrase for å nærme oss nyere verk i Astrup Fearnley-samlingen. I samarbeid med Ibrahim Nasser presenterer formidlingsleder Marie Vallestad utvalgte kunstnere i kombinasjon med kreative skriveverksteder. Gjennom ekfrase og deltakende skriving inviteres publikum til å erfare kunstverkene med egne poetiske tolkninger. I det tredje skriveverkstedet ser vi på maleriet Yesterday on Shelves (2023) av Mohammed Sami (f. 1984, Bagdad, Irak). Samis kunstnerskap kretser rundt episodisk hukommelse, som er hukommelsen vår av egne erfaringer og enkelthendelser. Sami flyktet fra Irak i 2007, og i maleriene sine utforsker han forsinkede minner slik de plutselig og uventet trigges frem av hverdagslige objekter eller sanseopplevelser. Med utgangspunkt i den arabiske litteraturens tradisjonelle bruk av metaforer og eufemismer, artikulerer maleriene hans krig, tap og eksil på en indirekte måte gjennom tilsynelatende hverdagslige motiver. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oslo/writing-art-|-yesterday-on-shelves/200029217483928 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, literary-art, parties, workshops, music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 31 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: http://facebook.com/200029217483928?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=oslo-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Oslo - **state**: OS - **country**: Norway - **location**: Astrup Fearnley Museet - **lat**: 59.906790858037 - **long**: 10.721368789673 - **full address**: Astrup Fearnley Museet, Strandpromenaden 2, 0252 Oslo, Norge, Oslo, Norway ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Astrup Fearnley Museet (https://allevents.in/org/astrup-fearnley-museet/20622864) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/e7c758b57ca31042089f44ba8bff6c9341a803135104bc161b494caac819ee58-rimg-w1200-h675-dc1b1716-gmir?v=1764190747 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Writing+Art+%7C+Yesterday+on+Shelves&date=03+Dec ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 05:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Astrup Fearnley Museet, Strandpromenaden 2, 0252 Oslo, Norge, Oslo, Norway - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Astrup Fearnley Museet - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, fine-arts, literary-art, parties, workshops, music - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Writing Art | Yesterday on Shelves ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Writing Art | Yesterday on Shelves", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/e7c758b57ca31042089f44ba8bff6c9341a803135104bc161b494caac819ee58-rimg-w1200-h675-dc1b1716-gmir?v=1764190747", "startDate": "2025-12-03", "endDate": "2025-12-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/oslo/writing-art-|-yesterday-on-shelves/200029217483928", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Astrup Fearnley Museet", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Strandpromenaden 2, 0252 Oslo, Norge", "addressLocality": "Oslo", "addressRegion": "OS", "addressCountry": "NO" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "59.906790858037", "longitude": "10.721368789673" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Writing Art | Yesterday on Shelves\n\nWednesday 3.
