The MIDI Project

The MIDI project (Minority-Identity-Diversity-Integration) is designed for minority groups as part of their integrating process into a community outside their homeland. The project includes hosting, coordinating, and collaborating on cultural activities such as concerts, workshops, seminars, and other relevant events both in Norway, and other Nordic countries. It is an initiative not only for entertaining homesick audiences but also as part of an effort to preserve their native culture, demonstrating and introducing its values to future generations and their new community.

Events

Earth-Sea Event - Fana Kulturdagene

The Earth-Sea Event, part of the MIDI project, builds on the success of the Vietnamese folk music concert ‘ĐỜN CA TÀI TỬ’ (included on UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage since 2013).

The two artists contributing to the event are professional artists residing in Bergen. They have dedicated thousands of hours of work to the Earth-Sea project and bring with them elements of their cultures from Vietnam and China. Through their craftsmanship, they will introduce cultural elements inspired by the Norwegian landscape, while their lives integrate into Norwegian society.

The event also provides opportunities to develop and strengthen bonds between people in the community, as well as to build networks among professional artists. In addition, the event will enhance cultural offerings for children and youth, while promoting language learning and identity. We hope that the MIDI project, with the Earth-Sea Event, will help enrich the cultural life of Bergen, Norway.
