DOLK Canvas - Charity Auction, by ricobenfico on Oct 22, 2011 19:41:56 GMT 1,

We were contacted recently by Norway's national media channel NRK P3 to see if we could help out with their annual charity event, this time around for the excellent work of Norsk Folkehjelp, or Norwegian People's Aid. Norwegian People’s Aid is the labour movement’s humanitarian organisation for solidarity.

We contacted our man Dolk, and just as we thought, he came up with goods ! Norsk Folkehjelp are actively engaged in mine clearance under their Clearance for Life project giving this piece added meaning.

BOMB SUIT 1/1
Spray paint and acrylic on canvas
70 X 100CM

The work is available on P3's online auction now and at 40000kr with one day to go is looking like a bargain, gallery price being almost double this.

Norsk Folkehjelp

Norwegian People’s Aid is the labour movement’s humanitarian organisation for solidarity. Our goal is human worth and equal rights for all, irrespective of sex, disability, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual preference or social status.

The Norwegian People’s Aid vision is Solidarity in practice. The vision demands commitment and action to protect life and health, build democratic societies and strengthen people’s ability to master their own lives.

We show solidarity in supporting vulnerable groups such as indigenous peoples, poor farmers, women and youth, so that they may themselves have the opportunity to protect and promote their own interests. Our work is based on cooperation between equal partners, not on charity. Charity gives the giver control over the recipient whereas solidarity means respecting the partner’s integrity and their right to set their own conditions.

Norwegian People’s Aid is politically independent but not a politically neutral organisation. We take clear positions in important social debates and our goal of a more just world means that we often choose partners that may be opposed to, or in conflict with, those in power. Popular participation and organisation are important measures in securing human rights and giving people greater influence over their own lives and social development. Norwegian People’s Aid both supports and speaks on behalf of its partner organisations.
