Interrupted Futures is an installation by Ramallah-based artist Shuruq Harb. Centered on the film Al-Mashrou’, the work brings a site in Palestine into dialogue with the local context of Oslo. Earth-toned surfaces reference the palette of Palestine, while swings suspended from the ceiling destabilize the viewer’s physical and perceptual vantage point.

Bring the whole family for a playful, exploratory day at BEK – Bergen Center for Electronic Arts at Nordnes. Every year, BEK and Borealis invites children and adults to dive into the world of experimental sound and music, and experience it through play, listening, and creative expression. Don’t miss the fun activities we’ve prepared this year! Sunday, March 15. 13:00–16:00BEK,…

Acoustic Laptop is a hands-on and exploratory workshop organised in collaboration with nyMusikk Bergen, where participants build their own electroacoustic instrument using contact microphones and self-selected materials. With a DIY approach to sound art, the workshop invites participants to listen to vibrations in wood, metal and other solid materials, and to explore a tactile and physical counterpoint to screen-based laptop music.

Presented in collaboration with BEK at Borealis, Vedøya – Laments to the birdmountain who lost their voice opens Borealis 2026 with a powerful, multidisciplinary stage work exploring the dramatic silencing of one of Northern Europe’s richest seabird colonies. Developed from Elin Már Øyen Vister’s long-term research project Soundscape Røst, the performance weaves together music, film, dance, field recordings and storytelling in a poetic reflection on loss, memory and ecological change.
