Walls of resistance: Street art meets the fight for liberation
On Friday, June 27, SAIH and Street Art Oslo invite you to the unveiling of a new graffiti mural right in the heart of Oslo.
The mural is part of the Oslo Street Art Festival 2025 and is grounded in SAIH’s motto: Education for Liberation.
James Finucane, the festival’s artistic director, says about the partnership:
Through our collaboration, we want to transform the wall into a powerful symbol of liberation – a visual reminder of the ongoing struggle for human rights, such as the right to education, both domestically and internationally.
