LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Jaya Thomlison Editor-in-chief

Welcome back to a new edition of The List Magazine! We’re happy to be back in the flow, succeeding a strange societal experiment involving zero contact and reduced physical connectivity – something we were certainly unprepared for. Many of you are starting new. A new year in school, a new direction of work, a new business idea...perhaps even new elements of identity, spawning from this extended period of flux and change. I’ll avoid indulging in Corona-clichés, though should at least address this theme so central to our collective experience: the fall-out of Covid-19 is not what we expected when day-dreaming about what a ‘year-long break’ from everyday life could be. This is not what we envisioned when we asked for some unknown and universal circumstance to give us an extended ‘snow-day’, providing a break permitting us to relax our schedule a bit, and stay home from school and work.

These past two years have shown us the significance of intimacy and togetherness, harnessing biological needs as part of our tribe mentality. While I recognise that this topic has been fully exhausted, especially in media, there remains a need to communicate how we can use this re-launch of society as a pivitol moment to improve conditions and put services in place to help those who are struggling. Specifically, this period has surprisingly affected students beyond estimates. The annual national SHOT-survey is reporting that a majority of students in Norway are feeling an all-time ‘low’ with severe loneliness and depression crippling their visions of future. Hopefully the stories of students moving to a new city, but spending 80% of their time alone in a room, or grandmothers who have not been ‘hugged’ for a year, are now things of our past. While 2020 – 2021 may have been ‘non-years’ in some respects, we’ve been 3

busy launching a new digital platform at thelist.no to provide curated examples of safe activities and arenas. We’re building a new events and listing guide in collaboration with Visit Trondheim, to make it easier for you to enjoy this incredible region. In the words of club owner and promoter Andrew Anfinnsen of Local Bar in Trondheim, “this fall is going to crazy, we’re going to be experiencing an explosion of concerts and events like never before!” We’ve also teamed up with new partners like the UN Centre of Excellence in Trondheim and UN Sustainable Development Goals to portray examples of the ways Trondheim’s residents work to improve our society and meet Sustainable Development Goals in their everyday. Check out our new UN SDG guide. Don’t stay home, get outside. This List is here to help usher in a new realty. In this issue of The List we have curated places and services with partners like NTNU, Studentersampskipnaden (SiT) and Trondheim Municipality, to help you share experiences, perspectives, meet new people and communities, access services organised by students for peers, and get around the city. Check out our Living City Streets preview and two-pager review of SiT Labs and In My Experience project. Flip through our summer/ fall guide to review our post-pandemic tips and get connected. We encourage you share your thoughts, and get outside! 2021 / VOLUME 1

Words Meyling Natalia Medina Illustration Marianne Selberg

2019. I loved coming to this city because it is called ‘the university city’ and since I set foot outside my country, my wish has been to continue my university studies. Although everything in Norway is beautiful, it is still difficult to arrive alone in an unknown country just to realise that you only have yourself – that you must find the inner strength to continue on the road ahead. My arrival caused a sea of emotions. During the day I loved everything I was getting to know, both people from different countries and beautiful places, but at night I would think about how my family is very far from me and that my nephews are growing up and may forget me. I asked myself many times if I was capable of doing this all alone. The good thing is that by the end of the night I would manage to encourage myself to trust in my abilities. I would wake up in the morning motivated to learn Norwegian and improve my English, to analyse how I could achieve my goals, and how I would continue with what I stopped in my own country. I studied journalism in Nicaragua. I left Nicaragua because I knew that I could not continue with what I love and that my future would be cut short. Nicaragua is a dictatorship, where anyone who does not agree with the government is repressed. Therefore, continuing with my journalistic career, being a young woman against the government, was very difficult. For a long time, I thought that I could continue protesting for the rights of my country but every day the danger was getting worse, so I decided to leave the country. This situation is the same for many young people in my

It is July 2021 and here I am writing this in the middle of a total disaster, in my new apartment. That’s right, I’m moving, for the fifth time in these past two years and three months of living in Norway. It’s not so bad to move, but it is a bit chaotic. My name is Meyling Natalia and I came to Norway at the age of 20 years old, and like many other international students, I came alone. I travelled in March 2019 and I had many mixed feelings. It was the first time I had ever left my country, and I was leaving alone. Without knowing anything about travel, how tiring it is to cross the ocean, go to another continent, to another culture and be exposed to a new language that, until then, was unknown to me. I travelled with great courage packed away in my suitcase. When I got to Oslo, I was very cold. I come from Nicaragua, right in the centre of the Americas, with a climate that is very tropical. So, you can imagine how my body reacted to that change in climate. However, it wasn’t too bad. I lived in Oslo for three months. This was my first impression of Norway and I liked it a lot. I learned to take long walks, not to take the bus and therein got to know many beautiful places. Then I moved to a small yet beautiful town called Ulsteinvik. I lived by the beach for six months in which time my walks turned into bicycle trips. I have lived in Trondheim since mid-November 2021 / VOLUME 1

to go to a ‘språkkafe’ and be able to practice the language and meet locals. All of this was clearly impossible for an extended time with uncertainty. I feared getting sick despite the fact that Norway is a country that has clearly coped well in managing the crisis. Many international students have families in vulnerable countries that were negatively affected by the pandemic. They are at home alone, studying and thinking about the risks their family members face. I lost a family member in the middle of this pandemic and I never imagined experiencing this so far away, not being able to receive or give comfort to my family. All of these are thoughts and situations make everything that much more challenging. In spite of everything, human beings learn to adapt. And like me, I think that many of us have had to change our lifestyles. We cannot travel to our countries of origins or be with our families for different reasons. We just have to wait. However, in the midst of so much chaos there is still opportunity and we can always experience new and rewarding things. Unexpected things happen, that we end up liking. Life takes unexpected turns and this is how we redirect our way and grow. In my case, I learned to take advantage of adversities and learn from them. Humans are constantly developing in positive ways from the conditions of their surroundings. If we consider how it feels to be a foreign student during a global pandemic, there is more than enough material for self-development. I learned to be more aware of time, to take advantage of every moment and enjoy it to the fullest. I learned that empathy and unity is very important for good teamwork. This applies in the daily life of a student, a worker, and in situations of a global crisis like the world is currently experiencing. Time is an important factor and we all have different ways. In my case, I am waiting to start my studies, grasp the Norwegian language, and sometimes I think that everything is moving very slowly. By nature, I am a person who does not like to wait too long, but I have been learning the value of patience and that everything good takes time to be realised. I consider myself in a phase where I now appreciate the small things to a greater extent, like to visit a café, sit down to write on my computer, or have coffee with some friends. Even just receiving long distance calls is enjoyable. Some of the things that have helped me through this time are so simple, be it going out to take photos alone or with colleagues, taking walks on the beach and why not — even attending Latin parties! From where I have come from and where I aim to be, even studying alone at home or in the library supports my path forward. Whether it is movie nights at home, going on a tour or anything else I love to do, with the right perspective and patience I am content in knowing that whatever I do, I’m learning and developing just little bit more every day.

country and just like me, many had the same story. Nicaragua is going through a difficult time, where freedom of expression does not exist and this is the first time since I left my country that I write with freedom to express myself in the media. Norway has been a refuge for me, where I have learned a lot. Specifically, to stand up for myself, accept support and value the people who are always there for me. This point is very important. I have met many young people in Trondheim who are relatable and it is so comforting to see the support we can provide for each other. Norway is a country with a unique language. It is obvious that for every foreigner arriving here, it is challenging to get to the country, to access pertinent information and to communicate. I have been fortunate to run into people who have been open and supportive, this is why I try to do the same with those who come her as expats, like me. Word of support are never too much for someone who needs it. These days the biggest obstacle for an international student is not just getting to Norway, learning a new language, or integrating into local society, we must also add the arrival of a pandemic. This has made things more complicated for everyone. The arrival of COVID-19 was a drastic blow to us all. Attending classes online from home was not only boring, but difficult for those of us who really need to access new communities and practice speaking Norwegian. I needed interaction, have people to speak with, have meetings with friends to get out of the routine... 7

ROTVOLL ART COLLECTIVE:

Reinventing a former asylum into a house for synergistic collaboration Words Zane Datava, Evgenii Salganik Photography Evgenii Salganik, Juliane Schütz

This five-hundred-year-old estate has housed a medieval monastery, the mentally ill, Serbian prisoners of war during the Second World War, college students of education – and is now home to a thriving art collective remembering the past through current experiential exhibition. 2021 / VOLUME 1

One of the most attractive elements of Trondheim is the ability to foster an idea and make it happen with relatively marginal resources. Possibly related to its size, as third largest city in Norway, it is as though small ideas pop up unexpectedly where like-minded people find each other and work together. This happens often in interdisciplinary groups, and with impressive drive and passion. These interest-based activities that aren’t often marketed or common knowledge, be it from pop-up concerts, to mini-food fairs, become a magnet for others to join and often welcome whoever is interested in contributing their time. 8

One of the city’s immersive subcultures, promoting inclusive and interaction, is the new artist’s collective based in Rotvoll, Rotvoll Kunsterkollektiv (artist collective). Rotvoll Kunstnerkollektiv, also known as RKK, is scenically located in the calm surroundings of Rotvoll, just outside of Trondheim. Since 2019 it has offered studios for 65 artists, most being visual artists or musicians, and now the collective’s historical building is welcoming all art forms and visitors, currently including writers, theatre directors, and a stage designer. Martin Smidt, the composer and musician who runs the space together with other artists, shares how residents often take a swim during their lunch breaks. The beach is just 100 meters down the hill. “There was clearly a need for such a place, which would encourage collaboration between different artists and synergies,” says Smidt. “There was a need for a working space for those artists — they were otherwise working at home or waiting for some place to become available.” From the outset there was this notion to gather artists in one common place so that they could work together, sparking synergies, where people would inspire each other and create a shared culture. Once the initial rental agreement with private reality firm x Eiendom AS was signed, the premises filled quickly creating a buzz. Katherine Butcher, one of the resident artists, expresses how she finds that collaboration comes naturally in RKK — one can just go over the hallway, knock on the door to meet their neighbours and ideas start flowing. The lunchroom is also a good place to start new artistic projects. Several joint projects have come to fruition on occasion, despite the rocky times and social distancing during the pandemic. Some of the concerts and events have, paradoxically, fostered a new type of experience for very close and interpersonal connections as they have been played and performed for audiences as small as two people at a time. This type of intimate performance creates a sense of inclusion, where audience members feel instantly welcomed. Some months ago, on a still cold spring day, a small audience had the pleasure of partaking in one of these events at Rotvoll Kunstscene with the showcasing of ImproSTUNT, directed by contemporary dance artist and teacher, Anna Thu Schmidt. The idea for this event perfectly

mirrored what RKK stands for: the audience was led through the historical premises, accompanied by musicians and dancers and experienced a multimedial and multisensory journey. Thu Schmidt says that it was a lot of work to plan the logistics for this event so that audience members didn’t encounter each other closely, and could keep a minimum of one meter distance at all times. “The new regulations informed and changed the performance in a way. But I think there is something beautiful being created during, and because of, the pandemic too — there are more intimate art experiences created which I would have not otherwise thought of.” During performances artists, audience, and the space collide to create something unique and personal. Synergy is one of the key concepts binding RKK together. Artists outside of the collective, like Thu Schmidt, are invited to co-create so that potential cooperation isn’t bound by RKK’s walls. Martin Smidt adds that one of their aims is to inspire collaboration across disciplines, which they really try to encourage. All of the artists agree that RKK’s building is inspiring and light, even though it has both limitations and possibilities (as with all buildings). There aren’t many big rooms, except the chapel, a venue for concerts and performances. Some of the ongoing plans for development include a soundproofing project has been funded to upgrade the building, which is obviously integral for musicians. Not everything has been in balance, however. RKK occupies only one wing of the enormous building housing it, a building with a rocky past. The property has, in fact, within recent history been used as an asylum. Katherine Butcher reflects on this and attempts to connect the extreme sensory experiences in her work “Shiny Floor Show”. The bright mirroring material, which she used to cover the floor with, could be both blinding with its intense shininess as well as inviting participants to reflect on those intense and overwhelming sensory experiences from the past. Butcher adds that she feels the history is definitely still present, and equally as important to the building as its walls. Despite other periods and many years of housing teacher education, the building still holds onto its complicated past.

Come and visit

Rotvoll Kunstkollektiv is open for visitation by booking, and welcomes other artists and collaborators looking to connect. On August 28th RKK will opens its doors for a 10-hour long arts festival at Rotvoll. Check out the website for more information. Save the date!

Rotvoll was built and used as a psychiatric hospital between 1867 1872 by Norwegian architect Ole Falck Ebbell, on the site of Rotvoll Nedre farm. Falck Ebbell was actually the assistant to Peter Høier Holtermann, who was initially hired as the main architect, but passed away in 1865.

Uncovering history

Rotvollgårdene was a church and monastery estate during the Middle Ages and came into private ownership in 1690. The site name originates from the old Norse word ‘Rótválir’, which means ‘clearing land’ or a land filled with tree roots and stumps. The hospital was expanded and rebuilt during 1919 to 1928 by another Norwegian architect, Ove Bjerke Holtermann. During World War II there was a camp for Serbian prisoners of war in the area. In 1962 the Rotvoll Asylum became part of Trøndelag Psychiatric Hospital. In 1980 it was renamed to Charlottenlund Hospital and was eventually closed in 1990. From 1991 until 2018 it was the location of Sør-Trøndelag University College (HiST). In 1994 Rotvoll housed a faculty of teacher education and deaf studies of as part of 9

HiST. The Northern Norway Psychiatric History Museum was opened in the D-wing in 1996 and then closed again in 2015. After that Arnold Solbu, former director of the hospital, founded a Northern Norway Psychiatric history museum in a small part of Rotvoll, which was run by volunteers. The façade of the building is protected by state. Currently the site and the building is owned by the real estate company AHA Eiendom. This redbrick building has a symmetrical masterplan and consists of several blocks connected to galleries. Upper windows have the shape of pointed arches, in reference to the Gothic style, while the roof is decorated with cornices. This shows that the building style is quite eclectic, with a combination of Gothic and Romanesque revival. 2021 / VOLUME 1

What is SiT? SiT is every student’s mother in Trondheim in a way. SiT takes care of student welfare by ensuring affordable housing, food, exercise, along with lots of other benefits and services like doctors, dentist refunds, and kindergarten. SiT is an all-round caregiver, hence their slogan: “here for you.” Some live in SiT’s provided living spaces for five years, some see SiT-psychologists for six months, others might benefit by having their student-association funded by SiT, or by merely getting some free oatmeal Thursday mornings. 10

SiT-Labs This year, SiT has started up a new project called SiT-labs. SiT-labs aims to renew the way we see and take care of students. There are lots of new projects under SiT-labs, some driven by SiT, some by students. They all involve students developing new functions and events for SiT. For example, this summer SiT has employed 50 students to come together and innovate for better student welfare. These students work on new, exciting ways to help every student thrive during their time here in Trondheim. Some of them are working to build the student lounge and student centre in the Central building at Gløshaugen, a natural place for students to hang out and take a break, meet new people and get informal tips, tricks and advice from the ‘hosts’ employed by SiT. “In My Experience” - a project for and by students Another project that SiT is currently working on, together with Study Trondheim and Velferdstinget, is the “In My Experience,” or IME project.

collecting rich data about what makes a productive study environment for students. Over a period of three years, the data will be gathered and then interpreted, to be applied for increasing well being among students. This sets it apart from traditional surveys, where the students rarely see any change during their own university stay. Another major difference is that IME lets students explain themselves, about how a particular situation was important to them, and then reflect upon the incident afterwards. It provides rich context when analysing, but it also encourages self-reflection in students and allows a new understanding of one’s own feelings. IME will begin workshops where students get invited to help interpret the data that has been collected so far. At the end of workshops, we will discuss what measures can be taken to improve the life of students in Trondheim. 11

Are you a student? We want your feedback! IME is always open for new stories from students. The project is all about getting a wide variety of stories, in order to understand a very wide and complex group of people. We want to find out what’s most important to you.

As a photographer, I am naturally an observer. Both objects and living things have a potential to make us feel something, and there has to be a necessary connection between a photographer and their subject in order to capture these feelings in photos.

I find it interesting that my subjects seem to know I’m watching, and they could be anything with or without a consciousness. It’s as if everything I see, can see me too - even if none of us really wants to be seen.

This past year has been unusual. I have spent my time wandering streets, alleys, parks, rivers and buildings in Trondheim, trying to find connections.

LIVING CITY STREETS, TRONDHEIM In the summer, lively and active city streets are equally important for residents as they are for visitors and business owners. This is why the red-green political parties allocated 3 mill NOK in the 2021 budget towards transforming city streets to ’living city streets.’ Through this temporary activity we are able to experiment with how cities can transform streets to usable public spaces on a more permanent basis. Our goal is to find forms to facilitate and design urban outdoor spaces with furniture and activities so that we can best experience the city in the summer while also creating fun and entertaining activities. —Rita Ottervik, Mayor of Trondheim 2021 / VOLUME 1

What if streets were more than just parking spaces? What if you could walk out your door and see a concert, pick up some art, meet a friend, or read some history of the local area – all within the city street? This summer and fall, the Living City Streets project will redesign some of Trondheim’s most-historic areas: Abels gate near Elgeseter City-Campus and Krambugata, Trondheim’s oldest street ending in Peter Egges Square behind Trondheim Public Library. Through outdoor installations and activities, these areas will inspire you to revisit historic streets that will be worth exploring in new ways. 18

Trondheim Municipality has launched the pilot Living City Streets to fill the streets with people and vibrancy in close proximity to places where people live and work. In partnership with local stakeholders, this initiative aims to integrate citizens in urban planning and engage public participation by encouraging locals and visitors alike to experience historic urban streets. As walkable streets closed to traffic, activities will include the use of functional outdoor furniture, community activities like planters for herb gardens, fun historical experiences, and pop-up events like concerts and furniture swapping. The project teams up with local organisations, community actors, and inhabitants to get involved in creating an atmosphere of discovery and reflection. Similar ideas have hailed success across Europe, with ambitions to shape local street identity into something inhabitants desire, increasing their ownership of public spaces. Activities always cater to children, local inhabitants, businesses and artists, but there is increasing focus on sustainability and sustainable practices. Trondheim’s residents were encouraged to submit ideas through social media platforms like Facebook, nominating streets using their own vision of how to create this vibrancy. Candidates were asked to describe concepts of the ‘living city street’ and what they themselves could contribute or help create. Streets were chosen based on their history, access to public transport, and status as residential neighbourhoods ripe for transformation. The goal was to expand upon ideas of what makes a good, local environment that is both accessible and inclusive. From over 50 candidates, Abels gate was chosen for its diverse residents and potential to connect students with current city-campus plans. Krambugata was chosen for its potential to convey history and to include local partners.

Neighbourhood Party (Bydelsfest) September 11th - 12th

LIVING STREET KRAMBUGATA Sustainable outdoor furniture, plants, play, street-art, lighting, outdoor performances, activities, rich history, and innovation. “In the past years, there has been an exodus of activities in the city core, where people choose to spend time and money in peripheral areas. We’re excited to see how this project will influence people’s relationship to Krambugata and draw them to ‘Midtbyen’. We’re hoping that visitors become immersed, 19

get to know the history, while creating new memories. It’s also fun to open our doors at DIGS and use our familiarity of local companies to provide sustainable installations of furniture, lighting, and sound.” —Eirik Haldberg, Project leader, DIGS. Living City Streets Krambugata aims to reignite people’s connection to Trondheim’s oldest city street – a path that was formed even prior to Trondheim’s establishment as a city! Krambugata’s plans have an artistic and innovative focus, located on one of Trondheim’s original shopping streets that now connects Olavshallen, Nova Cinema, Young Art (KUK), DIGS, and the Public Library. Local stakeholder DIGS plans to collaborate with Young Art to brighten up the street from Fjordgata all the way down to Peter Egges Square. Plans include an outdoor stage, concerts, and pop-up local history on the street where St. Olav, arguably Norway’s most significant religious figure, is buried in the St. Clement’s Church landmark. The project aims to have thematic weeks throughout August and September, from history, literature, and art to innovation. 2021 / VOLUME 1

Festningen

WANNA HANG?

If you enjoy a good festival vibe, Festningen (in good weather) is the place for you. Walk straight uphill from Bakklandet and you won’t miss it. Spacy, and always filled with booming music and various smoking grills in the evening. Here you can also wander around one of Trondheim’s old fortresses from the 1600s, Kristiansten Festning. Grab food and drinks from Joker, it’s a convenience store located right next to the park as well. Remember, “Fest” is the Norwegian word for party!

Words David Skarbø Photography Jéleena del Prado

Whether you are ‘new’ or ‘old’ in town, we at The List want to make sure you know exactly where to go to hang out in Trondheim. Pack up some food, your family or friends and try these outdoor spaces the next time you are looking for a place to relax and connect. In the true form of the Norwegian saying “there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing”, check out our list of hidden places for unexpected moments on your own or with friends, or even just to strike up small talk or share a grill. 2021 / VOLUME 1

Lademoparken

You’ll find this location right outside of the city centre, on your way to Lade. Lademoparken has a lot of green areas and is perfect for a barbeque with friends. There are convenience stores and both fast food and fancier restaurants close by, including Taqueros that has great takeaway. It is also next to Svartlamon, one of the cooler parts of Trondheim featured later in the magazine in our article on UFFA.

Brattøra

This is a relatively new district in Trondheim that still maintains a sort of industrial feel. Brattøra is located right next to the seaside and has free sun chairs for you to relax in, to soak up the sun (when it’s out) with an unbeatable view. Here you can also go for a swim in the fjord at Ila Sjøbad, which is an outdoor swimming facility that is open year-round. The area is complete with outdoor grills, restaurants and ferries that take you to the other side of the fjord.

THE LIST

Festningen

Finalebanen

Wander into Finalebanen, right next to St. Olavs Hospital. This large park offers lots of training facilities for free. Here you can work out using a variety of outdoor training equipment, play football, volleyball, basketball and there is also good outdoor skateboarding facilities. In addition to this, there is a small cabinet with books to read for free.

Høyskoleparken

Directly beneath the oldest part of NTNU’s main campus, Gløshaugen, and above Studentersamfundet, you’ll find a huge park of maintained grass where students hang out in small groupings that may end up merging into bigger outdoor parties. Høyskoleparken is in many ways the optimal park for students, where you can finish your classes at Gløshaugen and go straight to Høyskoleparken to hang out and meet people.

Lademoparken

Ilaparken

On the way to Byåsen and Bymarka (the city’s forest) you’ll find Ila and Ilaparken. With its beautiful scenery, mini zip-line it’s perfectly situated close in between the sea, the city and the forest. Ilaparken also has a large swing and football pitch. If you enjoy a good walk Ila is the perfect place.

PEACEFUL SPACES

CAN FAITH HELP US THROUGH THE PANDEMIC?

Words Jonas Langset Hustad Photography Jonas Langset Hustad

Contributor Jonas Langset Hustad spent his weekend pondering this, cycling around Trondheim to photograph places of worship while frenetic seagull parents dive-bombed his helmet. I think of these wonderful spaces for worship sprinkled accross our landscape as places where one hopes to encounter the Divine. But what one is certain to encounter is other worshippers hoping for the same thing. In coming together for ritual, people of religious communities strengthen each other’s faith. It’s not just that I believe in something, it’s that I see you believing in something too. We are in this together. I am not a member of these communities, but I think I have something to learn from their intentions and actions. Let me now confess, dear reader, that I’ve had trouble keeping faith lately. Yes, I’ve worn my mask, and yes, I’ve kept my distance and washed my hands like any decent COVID-19 fearing believer. But even though these rituals have scientific 2021 / VOLUME 1

foundations, they sure seem to be meagre responses to a global catastrophe. How can my actions make a difference? These cycle-ponderings lead me to the idea that my actions matter, as long as everyone else is participating as well. One person wearing a mask is a puny measure in itself, while a whole community wearing masks is powerful. Nonetheless, for all I know, my neighbour is inviting his friends to their annual Face-Licking Contest right now. And so, it becomes a question of faith. Not faith in the Divine, but faith in the people around me, faith in my flock. With faith in my flock intact, wearing my mask is meaningful. It’s me doing my little part, I’m ensuring I am not that single hole that sinks the ship. Yet without faith in the flock, wearing my mask is a pointless gesture. The ship will sink anyway if there are other holes, so why not go down with the comfort of being able to scratch my nose? It’s been a rollercoaster ride, this faith of mine. Though seeing people maintaining distance, meeting outside in small groups, living their lives with thoughtful everyday compromises gives me hope. You might even say I visit these spaces of community to restore my faith. And since other people’s actions clearly affect my 24

faith, I assume that my own actions will have a positive effect on other people. That’s kind of cool because it gives me some personal power, which I like. By putting my mask on, I’m also subtly influencing everyone around me to do the same. You have this power, too. In whatever space of community you find yourself in, you can show people around you that their own efforts are not in vain. You can help them keep faith. The pandemic really is a challenge for our society as a whole, not for the individual. We’re beating COVID-19 because we’re acting in unity. Undoubtedly there will be many more such challenges ahead of us. We’ve already tried beating global warming with each country looking out for themselves, and Canada is currently on fire, literally. Perhaps we can all take a lesson from our religious communities. Maybe we can come together to show each other that we believe in the same thing, that we’re in this together. Maybe we can make our actions meaningful through our connection to our flock. And luckily, if you’re interested in exploring this form of connectedness, Trondheim has many such open spaces for sharing in belief and belonging for you to check out. They’re only a bike ride away.

4. These are the places I visited on my little pilgrimage. Some of these spaces have a time-worn majesty to them, such as Vår Frue Kirke and Det mosaiske trossamfunn, the latter housed in what was originally Trondheim’s first train station. Others are more like hidden enclaves, like Salem or Det muslimske samfunnet i Trondheim, existing as pockets of religion among the worldly hustle of the city. Some shine like bright stars among grey industrial buildings, such as Sri Tiller Ganesha Temple and Don Hau Pagode, filled with statues, flowers and golden decorations. Finally, Human-Etisk Forbund resides in the very center of the city, welcoming those looking for meaning but not Divinity.

This community-based hub is part of Sluppen’s vision for creating a new and vibrant neighbourhood in the city’s extension of the downtown core, from Junkyard to Junction. Lager11 has been described as a place to remember. Taking a bottom-up approach, property-developers turned community organisers have successfully shaped a location that nearby residents are proud to claim as part of ‘their hood’. With the intention of drawing people of all ages to this new space, Marketing and Communication Director, Mette Moen Baatvik wishes to create an international feeling and “expand visitors mindset of what Trondheim is, and what it could potentially be”. All of this with a goal to “make Trondheim bigger”. Quickly becoming a landmark in Trondheim, Lager11 recently celebrated their first year of operations on June 13th. Offering 8 food stalls, a coffee and dessert stand, and bar, Lager11 offers everything from authentic Indian curry, to Chilean empanadas to Chinese dumplings. They have successfully navigated through the rough period of the pandemic, yet nonetheless managed to expand their food stall options and safely house, coordinate, host and inspire many events and pop-ups. You can book your own events directly, or content them with your suggestions. Activities prior to, and after opening have included Sluppenfest, Kosmorama Film Festival, Confirmations, Circus School performances, Design Market, Dj nights and theatre performances from young debutants. 2021 / VOLUME 1

Innblikk / Insight In recognition of Lager11 turning one, they are inviting stage artists and other creative souls to an open stage night at Lager11’s Blackbox starting this September 9th!

Kjeldsberg and Lager11 have focused their art of collaboration in urban development plans but being open to suggestion and allowing for experimentation of ideas, like their new after work Friday concept, to grow into permanent offerings. Lager11 is a driven hub facilitating partnerships from a myriad of communities, including new international residents and immigrants wishing to share their love of food from their homeland with the greater region of Trondheim -- to UN Centre of Excellence SDGs and Smart City projects -- to art collaborations with high school students from Thora Storm. In celebration of their 1-year birthday, we have compiled a list of the best reasons to visit Lager11 – it is so much more than a food hall. 26

Toan, from Bui Bai Vietnamese “Lager11 has created huge opportunities for us, allowing us to establish ourselves in the food and beverage industry. It’s acted like a launchpad, providing training and certification and helping us to prepare the food we love, for great people. If I had one recommendation for people coming out of COVID-19 it would be: enjoy your life! Visit Lager11!”

How to get here! Take the Metrobus 2 or line 1 route Northbound to Sluppen, or Southbound to Kroppenbrua; Bike, walk or take an electric scooter from NTNUs City-Campus along the Miljøpakken bike path through the neighbhourhood. Drive to Sluppen, Lager 11 and utilise the free parking.

UFFA CREATIVE SPACES

Words Bradley Kurtz

A place that is often the topic of conversation, both true and misguided, UFFA has a unique place as a cultural hub in the alternative scene in Trondheim. At its core, UFFA is intended for punk rockers and people looking for a community outside the normal options available to them. Since its creation at the start of the 1980’s, UFFA has harboured political controversy, great music, and an ever growing, close-knit community. The history of UFFA has grown its legend. The original UFFA came into being when a group of punk rockers who were fed up with the lack of opportunities available to them with the established youth and free-time clubs, and other organised activities around Trondheim. They grew tired of waiting for the municipality to give them a place of their own and took matters into their own hands during which they occupied a vacant house in the middle of the city. In their eyes, there weren’t a lot of places you could be if you were into punk rock or the alternative scenes for lifestyles, music, and art – so they decided to create their own: a place for the people that didn’t fit in playing football, or in singing the school choir, or the marching band. The clubs at the time were too organized for the original UFFA gang, as they weren’t happy being told there were set times where you had to do one thing or another. So they said ‘F*ck that, we want to do what we want.’ At their first house, this group of folk squatted illegally until the city decided to let them have it. During that time they formed what UFFA has become today: a haven. This was a place where anyone could come in to make their own kind of music, their own activities, and all of it organised by people that want to take part. The focus was mainly on punk music, but that also goes hand-in-hand with art and political movements – often with a healthy dose of anarchist views. 2021 / VOLUME 1

The good times in the original UFFA house didn’t last long. In 1982, only about one year after the place had finally received affirmation by the local government and established the punk scene in Trøndelag, the house was set alight again. Tragically, Eddie, a young man involved at UFFA, lost his life during the blaze. He is still remembered today at UFFA and immortalised in artwork around Trondheim. After the fire that razed the first UFFA house the folk there started looking for support to find a new home. They came across an old, abandoned kindergarten on the Northeast side of town that had originally started as a garage and warehouse for Nazi Germany during the occupation of Norway. After that, it became a Red Cross kindergarten in the post-war period. Then finally the plot of land was used as a cemetery for Lademoen Kirke, for the people that were too poor, weren’t baptised, and/ or criminals who didn’t deserve to be buried on church grounds. This is where the punk rockers decided to make their home. The history of the ground they occupy ads to the vibe of UFFA – many of the people there are pretty happy knowing that they are using land once used by the Nazis in a positive way. From the time UFFA raised its flag over their new location, the community kept up with its mission of hosting killer concerts and their Pøbelrock festival, and continuing to create a space that stood for rebellion against the bourgeois. They continued to support like-minded folk and showed strong community unity. Just shy of UFFA’s 30th anniversary, in 2010, UFFA was burned down for a second time, again under some suspect circumstances. This sat heavily on more than just the UFFA community and it has not been forgotten by the wider music scene. The iconic ‘Ska Dancer’ artwork on the side of the current building was salvaged 30

THE LIST

from the skeleton of the second house by a local Buran resident who cut it down from the side of the building while dodging the police that had cordoned off the area. It found a new home in Svartlamoen for a little while and although well-loved in the area, it was a constant reminder of the loss that occurred. Without a home to call their own the people at UFFA spent nearly three years hanging around a firesite and struggling to convince the Trondheim City Council to let them stay on the same land to build a new house. The original plan was to place them elsewhere in the city, but the UFFA community organised demonstrations in the streets, in an attempt to get the backing of the wider community in Trondheim. They did indeed get the support of a wider audience, from other similar youth movements around Norway, and around Europe. With the positive backing from the community, eventually their patience and efforts paid off. UFFA succeeded in convincing the people in charge of the rebuilding process via a written letter asking not only for a new building or location (and kicking out whoever was already using it), but to keep the land they had already been using for nearly three decades. In addition they received a shipping container to use as a temporary structure – a temporary home. Those shipping containers are still in use today at UFFA, completely outfitted for use as band practice rooms – filled with instruments and sound equipment. Their art and graffiti covered exteriors also serve as a great backdrop for some of the outdoor events held at the site. It was another year before a larger structure appeared in that mythical little forest on Inherredsveien after the efforts of a man from Stavanger, lovingly referred to as ‘the action man’ by the people down at UFFA. This man came to Trondheim and managed to cut through the crap and get a new house built for them at an affordable price. Once again, in the same place as it adorned before, the ‘Ska Dancer’ was hung back where he belonged. UFFA started as and has continued to be one of the best places in Trondheim for music, and it’s not just punk rock anymore. Almost every single weekend you’re liable to catch a live show. It can be a punk rock group from far-flung places like Siberia or the United States, or 31

something a little more local, or it might even be a night of electronic music with predominately local artists working to keep the club scene in Trondheim alive. Maskin Massakren, for example, which started on unsteady ground with the punk rockers, has become some of UFFA’s most popular events. The concerts have been a part of UFFA since the very beginning. Their annual summer festival, Pøbelrock (which is a pretty awesome direct translation of Hooligan Rock), has been going on since 1982 – with the exception of only one year. Shows at UFFA vary from bands and artists that are relatively unheard of, to bigger names – Fugazi, for example who played a show at UFFA at the start of their meteoric rise. Bands have travelled from all over Europe for a chance to play at UFFA. Yet there is still a big focus on Norwegian-made bands because supporting the punk rock environment in Norway is one of UFFA’s main goals. Even in the years following the fires, when they didn’t have a house or a stage, 2021 / VOLUME 1

they still put together festivals and concerts. Even in the containers they hosted plenty of very, very intimate concerts – with room for about 20 people. In today’s time of charging hundreds or thousands of kroner to take part in festivals, UFFA keeps it simple with very low cover charges, and runs as a non-profit – usually around 50 or 100 kroner. All the money that they earn from concerts and festivals is put right back into UFFA – whether it used for upgrading the studios, upkeep of the house and café, providing meals to anyone who shows up to the house on a Tuesday, or booking new acts to come and play a show. With its emphasis on music, it comes as no surprise that UFFA is responsible for a number of the famous bands coming out of Trondheim. Some of the most notable are Motorpsycho, Dum Dum Boys, Brutal Kuk, Blånæggel, amongst many others. Like any gathering of punk rockers, UFFA isn’t without its fair share of controversy. Most of it is in good fun and from the outside looks much rougher and with 34

more pointy edges than it actually is. Deep down they are a good group with strong core values who choose to carry them in the realness of who they are. The people there take poignant stances against fascism, racism, homophobia, and most other –ism’s. However, some of UFFA’s actions in the recent past hasn’t gone over well with the wider community. But it can be said that that’s part of being punk rock, pushing a few buttons and blurring the boundaries of socially acceptable demonstrations, art, and music. Much of it has been positive as well; for instance, anti-fascism and the anarchy and punk rock ethos. UFFA was behind organising the large anti-neo-Nazi demonstrations and events that swept through Trondheim back in the mid 2000’s, which earned decent amount of respect from the community. While people, trends and interests come and go, the ethos of UFFA hasn’t changed much. It is still very much a family type affair with a cohesive community. Everything from concerts to the organization itself, is run through people giving their thoughts, opinions, and time. The ‘do it yourself’ attitude is strong with UFFA. They’re extremely welcoming as a whole, and it doesn’t matter how many studs you have on your jacket or dress like a punk, as long as you’re not acting like a jerk you are more than welcome to spend time at UFFA. The people at UFFA are often an easy target for others when talking about things they don’t fully understand. It is rare in Norway to find a group of people with such open, friendly and non-judgmental views (or, at least they keep their judgments to themselves). UFFA is a sterling example of a ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ scenario. UFFA is many different things to many different people. It can be a place to jam out and practice with your band, to hold up political ideals that you find important, do nothing and just hang out by the fire with other like-minded people, or pop in for a free vegetarian meal. Some people come by and hang out for a year or two, sometimes a little bit more, and some people are UFFA for life. UFFA isn’t for everyone, but the doors there will always be open for anyone who wants to show up. To find your way there, just look for the church then look for the black flag in the forest. The Ska Dancer will welcome your arrival.

ART LIST

Artists are allies, not competitors. This moral, this solidarity has been strong supporting new initiatives in the community from art collaborations, to new buildings such as the soon-tobe-opened Kjøpmannsgate Ung Kunst centre. In this issue of Art List, we will be sharing new ways to emerge in Trondheim Art, visit new open spaces, and get to know some of the backbone of the local art industry.

Words Laura-Ann Morrison

“Choose an institution or academy that aligns with your integrity as an artist” These words have been preached throughout my bachelor education at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Arts. I also had to question whether being represented by an academy was necessary at all for the development of the artist. One would want to choose an institution that strengthens and provokes more knowledge within one’s practice, a thorough and deeper insight into one’s techniques, also backed by an approachable, supportive, and innovative community. The artist holds the magic key to the sphere of recognition, but being an artist without a sustainable community could cause constraint in the sense of lacking ties and connection. The students at KIT were shown immense support from the art community in Trondheim, from the artists at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder, Trøndelag center for contemporary art, Trondheim Open and Kjøpmannsgata Ung Kunst (K-U-K), to only mention a few. Though necessary criticisms have shed light on the academy in Trondheim, reflections about how to strengthen the art community and its profound role will never cease to exist. The backbone of integrity at KiT was Professor Anne-Karin Furnues and Professor Susanne Winterling who invested a crucial amount of time to fill the educational and supportive gap for the students, where they involved themselves personally in aligning us to each other. One of the artists that has graduated from the academy with these emerging intentions is Mina Paasche, who gives us a comprehensive insight into her works and thoughts about community and connection in the next pages. 35

A sci fi, set up for me to enjoy the process, and just go wherever creativity takes me. The project consists of a combination of video, film stills and performative photography. I have written a very informal script with different scenarios that reflects on narratives for possible futures and my goal is to collect all of these scenes with different people in nature before I leave Trondheim. Sometimes my projects tend to be a bit too serious, so after working intensely on them for a long while I often do something crazy and wild. The Outher Edge of Each Ete is a fun side project that I work on with my friends to enjoy myself. The project is a science fiction and nature anthology from various locations in Norway that reflects on narratives for possible futures. The inspiration for the project comes from specific places in nature and objects in my immediate vicinity. The project follows an intuitive process where I’m shifting between a human and animal perspective while working with metamorphoses 2021 / VOLUME 1

in different ways. Based on research, the project explores how humans, insects, animals and machines may relate to each other in a dystopian future. It is an attempt to pull the strings further than animism and perhaps try to confuse the animals’ own perspective rather than the human representations that ”naturally” have appeared at the beginning of the staging. In this series I collaborate with performance artists, actors and artists designing my 36

ideas as costumes and props. The series has an elusive experiential flow of me as the video and photographer, the subjects, the locations, the costumes and the physical actions of positioning and posing. The work is a guilty pleasure project in terms of me allowing myself to not be afraid to cultivate stereotypes within animism. I’m therefore involved in reproducing art history’s representations of wildlife in art, a story of anthropocentric trust and self-proclaimed superiority, rather than taking the perspective of animals and plants. My hope is that I can cultivate these clichés to a level where they may be able to contribute to undermining the hierarchy of human superiority in the representation of animals. By having this awareness, and by being unafraid of the stereotypes my hope and intentions is that new perspectives will emerge. What is a strong art community for you? The utopia of a strong art community consists of serious and talented people that believe in themselves and support each other. A community that doesn’t take themselves too seriously, are brave enough to collaborate, and make cross disciplinary work. A strong art community is also a group that is not afraid to be open and inclusive for people outside of their own field. If the community manages to communicate with a variety of people from many different layers of society it is from my point of view ‘strong.’ And not to forget that to be vulnerable as artists and in the art works can only take place in a community of openness, curiosity, trust and respect. What inspires you right now? I just came back from 6 days in a remote cabin in Trollheimen, with no electricity or water. Only beautiful landscapes and a lot of cuckoos singing night and day. No people were seen. To be offline and silent is inspiring to me at the moment after a very hectic spring. I’m giving away a lot of the items I have collected the last 3 years I have been in Trondheim. It feels refreshing to remove myself from many of these random objects. Making inner and outer space for new projects and new inspiration, still not sure if it will work or not, but it feels good to detach from unnecessaries. My inspiration right now comes from collecting stones on the beach and interacting with other species than humans. Where is your next destination? My next destination is The Art Academy in Bergen, where I’m diving into a master of fine arts. Notes to self? Remember the feeling you had entering a beehive with your camera. The feeling of having a bee on your fingertip. Spending time with other species is important. Drink 2-3 litres of water every day. Less work, more play. 2021 / VOLUME 1

Trøndelag is home to the highest concentration of Olympic-gold-winter-sports medalists in the country, and there is no shortage of skiing opportunities and crazy hopping from Granåsen to Vassfjellet, Bymarka and Oppdal. What about for the rest of us...perhaps you are of the sportscurious kind but interested in something a little different? The List has compiled a smattering of unique sports experiences in and around the Trondheim region. If you are a student or faculty at NTNU or Sintef, you have access to NTNUi, a fantastic organisation that coordinates every possible use of physical agiltiy on this earth (nearly), from cricket to orienteering to African dance classes. Otherwise, we have added in a few ‘I should try that’ athletic opportunities. All of the organisations listed here have taken Coronavirus precautions seriously and amend sessions to comply with all new restrictions as they are implemented. Each of these groups are welcoming of beginners, or even advanced members. Something new for you? 2021 / VOLUME 1

Jonas recommends: Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art and dance that has found its way to Trondheim. In Capoeira, you ‘play with’ rather than ‘fight’ the other player. Traditional kicks are mixed with rhythm, gymnastics, song and music. As a practitioner you will become strong and flexible while having a lot of fun! The group welcomes all genders and all levels of physical strength and stamina, as Capoeira is highly adaptable. If you’re looking for a varied, social, and fun way to exercise the whole body, Capoeira is for you! The new semester begins mid-August.  capoeiratrondheim.no  GUC Trondheim Capoeira

Jaya recommends: Disc Golf and Ultimate Frisbee in Trondheim Disc golf is a frisbee sport that requires you to throw a disc at a target, using rules similar to golf. Beginner to advanced courses are offered. All courses are open for non-members and free of charge, on most days. Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-paced team sport that is played outdoors on a large field, or indoors in a smaller arena. The goal is to pass the frisbee to a team-mate in the end zone. Fun fact! Trøndelag is home to some disc golf and ultimate frisbee national masters, with the youngest national ranking #5 player under the age of 12.  trondheimfrisbeeklubb.no  Trondheim Frisbeeklubb

Ladehammerfestival + Barnehammerfestival All the best things in life are free: friends, love and music, and you can find all three at Ladehammer Festival, which is incidentally also free. What started out as an ambitious birthday party back in 2009 has grown into a long-running festival built entirely on enthusiasm, trust, and a little bit of municipal support. At Ladehammer Festival, everybody is invited and everyone can find something that suits their taste. Pop, metal, electronic, progressive, hip-hop: most genres are usually represented. What really makes the festival interesting, however, is that they go out of their way to find up-and-coming bands before they’re even described as such. “Ladehammerslaget”, or the Battle of Ladehammer,

is a music competition where anyone can participate, and at the festival you get to see the cream-of-the-crop. If you want to be among the first to see the next big thing, this is the place to stake-out. The location alone is worth the visit. With a scenic view of the city and a giant statue made by German artist Rolf Schaffner, Ladehammeren is somehow a bit of an underrated gem in Trondheim. The atmosphere when the sun sets over the fjord as you picnic with your friends, new or old, is priceless, or rather, totally free. And “everybody is invited” means everybody; so bring the kids. Saturday daytime is “Barnehammeren”, the children’s festival within the festival. There are always fun

events and activities, and chances are that your kids will leave with some sort of selfmade art project that they will be incredibly proud of! Since Ladehammer Festival isn’t interested in turning a profit, the profit they do turn (the beer does cost money, nothing is perfect) is given to a charity of choice every year. So, while you’re drinking locally brewed beer, listening to a band you’ve never heard of before but that you’re now falling in love with, shouting over the music to someone you’ve never met before but that you’re now falling in love with, you can remember that this is all in support of animal welfare, help for refugees, care for the elderly or some other Very Nice Thing. And that’s why at Ladehammer Festival, we party like it’s everybody’s birthday. MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE DATE

Pilgrims have travelled far and wide to visit Northern Europe’s largest cathedral, Nidaros, for hundreds of years. Markets were a popular draw for medieval pilgrims in the summers when everyone in the local area would gather to sell and buy each other’s wares. You can be part of this centuries-old tradition by attending Olaf’s Market during the Trondheim International Olavsfest! There will be local handcrafts stalls, food, drink, and activities for children, including entertainment by the band Flying Seagulls. Some other activities or organisations present are: Save the Children Norway, Trondheim’s local Litteraturhuset, Doctors without Borders, the Bible Society and quiz, and sustainable food activities for children by Geitmyra Food Centre for Kids. The market will be at Rådhusparken, near the old pilgrimage site, open from 10:00 – 18:00, July 28 to August 2. On the last day of the festival, August 3, the market will be open from 10:00 – 16:00.

Trondheim Chamber Music Festival Udig-festival Finally, after almost two years in isolation, it is once again time for festivals! This year’s Chamber Music Festival (Kammermusikk Festival) is called Udig-festival, which stands for un-digital festival and takes place in the citycentre area, spread out across multiple venues. At the Trondheim Chamber Music festival, you will find all kinds of events: from chamber music in Nidarosdomen, to their “hjemme hos” concept, which means “at home with” and is a series of events where you visit different artists’ homes and they tell you about their works!

In addition to this, the Trondheim Chamber Music Festival 2021 composer is the internationally-acclaimed Caroline Shaw. She became the youngest winner of the Pulitzer award in 2013 with a MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE DATE

Shaw has collaborated with Renée Fleming, Inon Barnatan, Dawn Upshaw with Sō Percussion and Gil Kalish, Anne Sofie von Otter, the Philharmonia Baroque, and the LA Philharmonic. Even if you have not heard of any of these, you’ve surely heard about Kanye West and Nas? Because she has produced for these two as well, on Life of Pablo, Ye, and NASIR. It is time to get out and enjoy festivals once again. This is definitely on our top must-see list!

In a world that is riddled with varying degrees of violence towards those of us who identify as LGBTQIA+, it is that much more important to CELEBRATE and affirm our existence to each other and to ourselves!

UKA, or “The Week,” doesn’t last for only a week! From October 7th through the 31st, Trondheim will be transformed to host the country’s largest culture festival, with concerts, events, theatre, and oh-so-many parties, as it has done every other year since 1917. This is made possible by a well-organized group of

1800 volunteers, which means this is possibly the largest dugnad in the country of dugnads. Get your fill of new Norwegian music with the soft piano tones of Konradsen, the epic joik of ISÁK, and the personal, catchy rap of Musti. Dance to the classics with Veronica Maggio and Gabrielle, then dance your

eccentric-jazz-heart out to Jaga Jazzist, and end the night with discovering what the heck hides behind the moniker Tacobitch. As is only natural for a festival 104 years in the making, there are traditions to uphold. UKErevyen will sum up the last two years with satirical sketches, the weekly weekend gala will fill Samfundet with sharply-dressed ladies and gentlemen, and the official name for UKA 21 will be properly revealed with a countdown and fireworks on the first night of the festival. If you haven’t yet been part of UKA, this autumn is the time to set things right and find out what “UKEfølelsen” (UKA-feels) really means.

How did you feel when you come out of the wilderness? A Kunsthall exhibition If you are a fan of collage, interested in social commentary, invested in discussions about race and gender, or a lover of art in general you won’t want to miss the next exhibition to hit Kunsthall Trondheim! Beginning on September 23, Frida Orupabo’s work will be displayed at Kunsthall Trondheim in the exhibition How did you feel when you come out of the wilderness. Orupabo describes herself as a pessimist when it comes to progress and you can see why when you examine her work. Using images from archival matter and through various media and

collage work she explores that question: has anything changed? Has there been any progress and has it been significant? As the daughter of a Norwegian mother and a Nigerian father, Orupabo is uniquely placed to investigate these questions. Her figures of women are often staring directly at the viewer, demanding answers to these questions. Orupabo’s background as a sociologist helps her see the broader trends through history and knit together the political as well as the personal. Some of her collages show men birthing children, existentially-injured creatures, figures

examining other figures from other works, and often caged or otherwise immobilized women. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the work of one of Norway’s most interesting collage artists today. The exhibition ends on November 21 and is always free to see.

Trondheim International Olaf’s Festival Days (Olavsfestdagene) The Trondheim International Olavsfest is an annual summer festival that takes places this year on July 28 through August 3. The festival’s namesake, St. Olaf, is buried in Nidaros Cathedral, which is next to the festival grounds and can be visited during the festival through various tours. Boasting a week-long experience full of concerts, pilgrim walks, worship services, and cultural activities, Olavsfest has taken necessary precautions for a restrictions-compliant festival. Olavsfest’s mission statement: The Trondheim International Olavsfest is to be a forum for reflection at the intersection between faith and society, closely associated with Nidaros Cathedral as a

national religious and cultural centre, anchored in the thousand-year-old tradition of St. Olaf’s Day. In a multi-religious society, Olavsfest shall offer artistic and cultural activities that acknowledge the significance of faith and doubt for all peoples in all ages. Each year during the week of St. Olaf’s Day, Olavsfest shall organize a festival relevant for today with well-defined associations with the past, of a quality that appeals to a wide audience, both national and international. Nine musical artists are participating this year: Kari Bremnes, Moddi, Wolfgang Plagge, Stefan Sundström, Sarah Parkman, Olivier Larty, Rasmus og Verdens Beste Band, Frida Ånnevik, and 9 44

Grader Nord. Other planned activities include city tours, tours of Nidaros Cathedral, lectures, film screenings, painting, seminars, workshops, church services, and cultural exhibitions. There will be a market nearby open for the duration of the festival. ARTS & CULTURE DATE

Pstereo is nothing if not adaptable. During a normal summer, the music festival fills Marinen with party people and music enthusiasts, but since this isn’t a normal summer, Pstereo has decided to take a hike! Estendstadhytta is a cozy cabin in Estenstadmarka (around 7 km from the city centre), and on 27th - 29th of August it will host Ola Kvernberg, Fay Wildhagen, and Stein Torleif Bjella for maybe the most Norwegian concert experiences imaginable. Book your tickets now though, there are few spots left. Those who’d rather just have a traditional concert thank-you-very-much will be happy to know that Pstereo will have some shows at Byscenen. If you can call two

rock bands celebrating a children’s music duo traditional, that is. Spidergawd and Moving Oos will pay tribute to Knudsen and Ludvigsen on 13th and 14th of August, and the weekend after, on the 20th and 21st, Kamelen will

bring his underground rap to Trondheim (don’t tell the cops) and Kristian Kristensen will bring his Northern Norwegian dialect pop. This may not be a normal summer, but it’s still a Pstereo-summer!

SCIENCE CENTRE PLANETARIUM Have you ever been to a 360° cinema? Entering what looks like a tiny Death Star, you become enveloped in a movie dome, immersed in sound and image on all sides. At Vitensenteret, you can experience movies in this way all summer. Get a live guided-tour through the universe, go diving among coral reefs, or witness the very birth of our planet, no space suit required. Then, if you’re still hungry for more science-y goodness, join a workshop for rocket building or slime-making, or check out the museum’s interactive exhibition. This is where subjects like physics, anatomy, and geology become exciting experiments, games, and experiences. Fun for the whole family, and the whole family might learn something, too!

Troll Restaurant Norwegian food prepared in a helluva’ way!

Troll Restaurant is located at Fosenkaia, one of the Trondheim restaurants overlooking the river. In a rustic and almost fairytale-like environment, Troll serves traditional Norwegian dishes with a different spin. All the menu items are based on local ingredients, like whale beef from Smøla and deer from the Trøndelag region. Head Chef Lars composes three- or five-course meals of the highest quality, for the best comparable price – offering tastes that will both impress and surprise their guests. If you want to make a night of it, why not combine your meal with a trip to Troll’s sister bar, Skuret, located just along the pier. Skuret is an old boat shed that hosts legendary parties throughout the summer. Check out their website kafeskuret.no for details.

Habitat is Trondheim’s oasis for experimental craft brew and delicious pizza. Their 244 taps as consistently pouring the best selection of craft brew, cider, and kombucha, both from Norway and abroad. Habitat is especially proud of their in-house brewery, operated by Monkey Brew, who concoct all kinds of awesomeness in their basement “Monkey Lab.” The pizza bases are sourdough, the toppings fresh, and the over hot! And if brew and pizza aren’t your thing, you can always hang out in their toilets and listen to David Attenborough’s soothing voice. Welcome to your new favorite Habitat!
