Drawing Day Two of Oslo Freedom Forum

Music, art and passion

Attendees during a break

Here are my drawings from Day Two of the Oslo Freedom Forum. Highlights for me were the talk by Jack Dorsey, former CEO and co-founder of Twitter, who was there to talk about Open Source. And the Rwanda hero, Paul Rusesabagina, whose story was the basis for Hotel Rwanda.

Also today the anual Vaclav Havel Prizes were awarded, to honor activists who embody creative dissent.
