Two performances at Christianssand Protestfestival

This past week I have made two performances at Christianssand Protestfestival.

First, Monday September 5th I hosted/chaired a debate on civil disobedience (and Henry David Thoreau's book on that and other matters) between social anthropologist Thomas Hylland Eriksen and activist etc. Pål Steigan. A podcast is available here (sound only).

Second, Friday September 9th I gave a monologue on the sin of sloth ("latskap" in Norwegian) as part of the event "The seven cardinal sins", along with philosophers Nina Karin Monsen and Jackie Bergman and others. Eddi Eidsvåg hosted the event, The Vollenares offered a mini concert. Podcast (sound plus image) will be available soon.
