Art performance photos – Anything to say? 

Arne Beck is a photographer from Norway who engages in important philosophical and political topics for the historical record. He is a friend of Creative Commons Culture and collaborated with SAK'en on various occasion documenting art projects like this one. Beck is always pushing for ways to expand his knowledge of the craft and of the visual arts. With a unique perspective on how we percieve the world, Arne Beck is teaching masterclasses in photography.

Inspired by Davide Dormino's "Anything to say?" SAK'en - spontanious art and activist group and AKI from Bergen, Norway performed in front of the public library to express their support for Julian.  

The Anti-War Initiative (AKI) wishes to honor the three whistleblowers Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden with honorary memberships. All three have helped open our eyes to the criminal abuses of state power. They have revealed war crimes, human rights violations and mass surveillance on a large scale, and created awareness of crimes that were never intended to be known. Each of the three has acted at great personal cost and is suffering for his sacrifice now. We can do nothing but admire the courage and the steadfastness shown by the three.

Julian Assange and WikiLeaks came into the public light in 2010 when they published tens of thousands of classified documents from the United States, known as Afghan War Diaries and Iraq War Logs. The papers documented more than 100,000 civilian deaths as a result of the respective occupations. A number of compromising leaks made known through WikiLeaks show that states operate outside international law and act as though international jurisdiction doesn’t apply to them. Without Assange and WikiLeak’s operations, these conditions would very likely never have been known.
