Film screening and architecture workshop with Mona Brekke
Plot Oslo invites you
We begin in the installation Interrupted Futures, where we encounter Shuruq Harb’s poetic documentary portrayal Al-Mashrou', experienced from gently swaying swings, and meet our guide, who introduces us to the artistic practice behind this thought‑provoking project. After the screening, artist and architect Mona Brekke invites us into a workshop where we build, draw, and collectively explore ideas about the architecture of the future—drawing inspiration from the film’s visions and the realities of today.

About the exhibition
Interrupted Futures is an installation by the Ramallah‑based artist Shuruq Harb. Centered around the film Al‑Mashrou’, the work brings a Palestinian area into dialogue with Oslo’s local context. The film Al‑Mashrou’ was developed by Shuruq Harb in collaboration with architectural historian Nadi Abusaada, and weaves together archival material with more recent footage from the Arab Development Society (ADS) in the Jordan Valley. ADS was founded in the 1930s with a vision of self‑sustaining agriculture based on principles of independence. Read more about the exhibition here.
