This is a gift to the people of Risør. Anna-Sabina is a social worker, author and social debutante. She has been given a small house on Tangen to write at Christmas. In return, the landlord wanted her to give something back to Risør. And that is why she comes just before Christmas and talks about the book "Vi fattigfolk", in conversation with Mari Nymoen. "That is not the story I want to tell you. The one about having to travel and learn to be something other than yourself. The one about the class trip (...) I want to write about how you are actually good enough. Already. Anna-Sabina Soggiu grew up in a municipal block of flats in Tøyen in Oslo. This is her story, told to a young boy who lives in the same block today.Vi fattigfolk is a story about being poor and being ashamed of it. About being perceived as a problem, when the real problem is the help you haven't received. It's also a story about standing together, stopping keeping quiet, and telling the truth about reality as it is, in the hope of creating change.

How thin, long and difficult is it possible to turn wood? Vidar Iversen shows, through his objects and sculptures in wood, that little is impossible when he uncompromisingly follows an idea - and at the same time masters the craft. The exhibition opens at the same time as the Wooden Boat Festival, and makes Galleri Kunstparken even more relevant for wood lovers.

If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?

"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.  

The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?

--Said about the book:

"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly

Business News

"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"

Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House

--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
