Echoes Within has been selected and shaped by seven young jury members who were in turn nominated by a group of Oslo cultural organisations who are also supporting the project:
Hamda Barise (Agenda X & Kunsthall Oslo’s Youth Board)
Mohamed Bashir (OsloMet & Kunsthall Oslo’s Youth Board)
Ferdinand Kalfoss (Blikkåpner & Prosjektskolen)
Mikkel Inchley (PRAKSIS Teen Advisory Board)
Sofiia Nesterova (Prosjektskolen)
Neslihan Ramzi (ASSATA.no)
Plaifa Yoopensuk (Kunstakademiet)
All of the works in the show were chosen from an open call for submissions from artists between the ages of 15 and 26, in an anonymised process modelled on the annual National Art Exhibition, aka Høstutstillingen.
This exhibition is part of the ongoing project The Oslo Art and Knowledge Workshop, initiated by Kunsthall Oslo and organised in collaboration with Agenda X and Forandringshuset. The project’s long term aim is create new opportunities for young people from less privileged backgrounds to participate in the production of contemporary art and culture.
The Oslo Art and Knowledge Workshop is supported by Arts Council Norway, the DNB Savings Bank Foundation, the Bergersen Foundation and Fritt Ord. Kunsthall Oslo is supported by the Norwegian Department of Culture, the City of Oslo, HAV Eiendom and Oslo S Utvikling.
