We are The Green Hijab Movement
Green Hijab Movement is a movement emerging from the ecological waste of our planet.
The wastelands of water shortages, bad crops, and era-di-cation of species.
The wastelands of increased concentration of greenhouse gases.
Pollution knows no borders
Pollution knows no borders
Pollution knows no borders
We are The Green Hijab Movement
NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS INDIFFERENT TO US
Green for awareness of climate change
Green for change of direction
Green for sustainable systems
Green for global women
Green for global sisters
Green for global sister solidarity
Green for social care
Green for global care
Green for geopolitical care
Green for a new morning
Green for a new day
Green for a new future
We know what you are all thinking?
Why Hijabs?
Our answer is two other questions:
Who is benefitting on dividing people into groups?
Who is benefitting on setting people up against each other?
The Green Hijab Movement is spiritual.
A critic of capitalism must contain spirituality.
Spiritual as in awareness of nature
Spiritual as in solidarity
Spiritual as in collective
Awareness of all living beings.

GREEN HIJAB MOVEMENT
The Green Hijab Movement is a proposal for a new global climate movement, started by artists Gitte Sætre & Frans Jacobi in the summer of 2017.
We intend to create discussion and awareness on environmental issues and solidarity with the global south.
The Green Hijab Movement started out with a series of workshops, performances, dj-parties and actions in public space.
UCI Road Biking World Championships
September 20th, 2017
Skansedammen, Bergen
Dear all
Green Hijab Movement is seeking participants in our performance/action Green Meditation, that we are doing as a comment to the UCI Road World Championships (biking).
Wednesday, September 20th, from 16-17 in Skansedammen, on the biking-route to Fløyen.
The plan is to place as many people we can gather, wearing Green Hijabs in the water basin, where they will stand still, contemplating the state of the world as the bikers and the world media passes by on their way to the finale on Fløyen. The route of the championships passes directly by Skansedammen and we hope to attract the media attention for a few seconds. We have permissions from both the police and the city administration to do this silent act.
The performance will be silent, without any text or slogans, but as you might have guessed there is an underlying agenda of climate politics. Rather than communicating this in words and text, we aim to create an image of quiet contemplation that can be seen in contrast to and on the background of the world championships with all its implications of sport, media-stress and competition.
Skansedammen is around 20 centimeters deep and participants must be prepared to stand in the water, either wearing high rain boots or getting wet, for something between 30 minutes and an hour. No other skills are necessary, except for patience and a bit of humour.
Sincerely yours
Green Hijab Movement
