About ASSATA
Through study, community and dialogue, ASSATA amplifies voices that have historically been excluded, creating a refuge for learning, organizing, and change. The library is named after Assata Shakur, former member of the Black Liberation Army, and was founded in Oslo in 2021. It is not a space for passive observation, but a living collection of thoughts, ideas, solidarity, co-creation, and political action.
What can I find in the ASSATA library?
- A curated collection of system-critical books
- Discussion groups and reading circles
- Workshops and informal gatherings on themes such as identity, community, and resistance
- A space to connect with local artists, activists, and organizations working for social change
