Oslo
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | The proud spirit of the Norwegian people shines in every dimension of their capital city — from its once-fearsome Viking ships to its sleek new Opera House, from a fun folk museum that keeps traditions alive to the constant festival of its thriving harborfront. Connecting with the culture, we enjoy art — from Vigeland's statues to Munch's scream — and join local friends for a boat ride on their fjord.

Ghost of Akershus Prison , Oslo, Norway
Akershus Prison is a medieval castle in Oslo, Norway
Norway sports an abundance of supernatural legends and eerie ghost stories.For many years, parts of Akershus Festning served as a prison for some of Norways most notorious criminals. The sentence often involved gruelling physical labour, and the prison was notorious for using irons, chains and prisoner isolation as disciplinary techniques.
Over the years, there’s been several reports of whispers and scratching along the fortress hallways, and several guards has noticed weird anomalies – like the sensation of being pushed – while alone on duty. The prison at Akershus Festning was closed in 1950.For 700 years, the castle has guarded the capitals inner harbour, and has never in its history been breached by a foreign hostile force. This, however, does not mean that blood hasn’t been shed in it’s dim corridors and beyond the high walls.
Illegal Child Labor, part 1 (Health and Safety in Norway)
This footage was recorded in Oslo, Norway on August 1, 2012. Child labor issues and unnecessary health risks should be taken much more seriously by the Norwegian government. This part shows a 13 years old boy (information based on his own statement) directing traffic in the city of Oslo.
Whether he was working for pocket money or simply volunteering, his boss should not allow him to stand in the middle of the road (see the remaining parts to understand all risks he was facing).
For your information, this child laborer was only helped by his colleague for a fraction of his shift ... she left him after a few minutes of what appeared to be training.
Feel free to express your opinion. Would this be possible in your country or state? Would it be legal? Most importantly, would the police and members of the public tolerate such practice?

Double Bind Lectures: Nina Power on 'Social Reproduction, Art, Labour, Emotion’, 2015.11.13
“Social reproduction, art, labour, emotion” examines concepts of social reproduction – the activities and attitudes, behaviours and emotions as Johanna Brenner puts it, that are directly involved in the maintenance of life on a daily basis. It examines various feminist arguments regarding the relationship between social reproduction and work, amongst which the wages for housework campaign and the criticism of waged work and proposals for its abolition. It also examines the limits of the possibility of striking where care work is concerned, and asks what the role of art in relation to social reproduction might be. It discusses some recent thoughts around the question of weaponising emotions, or mobilising affect in the name of a feminist politics that starts from the standpoint of social reproduction under capitalism.
Nina Power teaches Philosophy at the University of Roehampton and Critical Writing in Art & Design at the Royal College of Art. She is the co-editor of Alain Badiou's On Beckett (Clinamen), One-Dimensional Woman (Zer0), and the author of many articles on European Philosophy, art and politics. Nina also writes for several magazines, including The Wire, Radical Philosophy, Strike! and others.
This talk is part of the ‘Double Bind' lecture series organised by Rupert in collaboration with The Academy of Fine Art at Oslo National Academy of the Arts (Norway) and The Living Art Museum (Iceland) in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Double Bind’.
