Soft Power, Hard Impact
Seminar Programme
Verdensteatret
Wednesday 15. October 18:30-22:00
FREE ENTRY

Propaganda doesn’t just live in history books — it surrounds us in news, film, and culture. Through talks, screenings, and debate, we’ll examine how power manages perception, and how creativity can push back. We’ll kick the evening off with a screening of Harun Farocki’s film series Serious Games, which examines the american army’s use of computer simulations in training and therapy. The screening is followed by two lectures. Joining us is Palestinian Artist Noura Tafeche who will premiere her lecture-performance The Zionverse. Tromsø based scholar Holger Pötzsch will deliver a lecture centered around western imperialist interventions and the propaganda that backs them.

After the seminar programme, SASUSU will take over the decks in Verdensteatrets bar and play a cocktail including propaganda music.
