Fjord Oslo light‑art festival opens with peace theme
The fifth edition of Fjord Oslo light‑art festival opens across Oslo, lighting the Nobel Peace Center and other public spaces. The event centres on a peace theme, with installations illuminating buildings and plazas. Organizer Anastasia Isachsen says the festival’s location in the Nobel Peace Prize city reinforces its message. A team led by Marko Bolkovic surveyed participants in six countries, who described peace in single words such as father, friendship and mother. The festival forms part of the EU‑funded IMAGINE PEACE cultural project, which examines war, resilience, freedom and coexistence.
