Teksten i trappen

Dear student

Welcome to one of Norway’s créme de la créme elite schools You may feel blessed, your dreams are coming true

Welcome to our big happy family This school offers infinite possibilities to work across all departments

You can get a fantastic education if you know the right people

As family we hold each others back To keep a pleasant athmosphere we are careful with criticism we do not make each other uncomfortable

Welcome to a top institution piling up with reports

Where a professor got away with sexual harassment for a decade till he was hurting the school’s reputation

Only then he got fired

But there is still the one calling you cookie

And one saying feminism is dead

Welcome to students and faculty as white as the blinding walls Where it is impossible for nonscandinavian students to enroll Welcome to a culture with no postcolonial and anti-racist perspectives And a white smiling professor that uses the n-word to provoke Welcome to the definition of a white cube

Welcome to an art institution reluctant to see power structures A symptom of an ignorant and scared society

In a time where right-wing extremists dominate the discourse This school should condemn this fucking bullshit

Step up to our expectations

Open the windows, let a fresh breeze in

Welcome to go against the existing structures

Welcome to break the silence and make it uncomfortable Welcome to make your dreams come true

Welcome to love and fuck with KHiO Happy to have you
