Sahrawi Nomad Tent
The event is a part of Uniarts Helsinki’s fourth Research Pavilion, taking place in Hietsun Paviljonki and its surroundings in Helsinki 5 June – 29 August 2021.
Visual artist Pekka Niskanen and poet Mohamed Sleiman Labat built a Sahrawi tent from fabrics imported from the Sahrawi refugee camps in Sahara. The Sahrawi tent is a symbol of negotiations between multi-layered issues and different ways of thinking. The tent highlights the Sahrawi’s ways and practices of resolving problems.
In addition to the PhosFATE group of artists, discussions in the Sahrawi nomad tent will be attended by world politicians and Baltic Sea and climate researchers. The public is also welcome to join the discussion.
