"As an artist living in Canada in the Pacific Northwest, without a television, I tend to "see" the news on my radio. These paintings are my response to the bombardment of Gaza. The painting Walls was completed several months prior to the Gaza events, the rest were executed during the bombardment."

COLLABORATION WITH EVERYONE GROUP
Makwan Moloudzadeh, 21 years old
Norman was recently honoured to collaborate with the highly respected Italian-based international Human Rights group, EveryOne Group. The group asked him to contribute the English language vocals for a memorial video-poem written by a well known Italian writer, Robert Malini, "in remembrance of Makwan Moloudzadeh, 21 years old, executed in Kermanshah Central Prison, in Iran, on December 5, 2007, a victim of prejudice, and against the Death Penalty."
Makwan was executed simply because he was gay. The video-poem 'Makwan: A Letter from Paradise
,' was part of a presentation to the Human Rights Committee of the European Parliament in Brussels advocating the abolition of the Death Penalty.
ART, ANARCHY AND ACTIVISM
A new spoken word CD from AK Press , published by CBC Radio, featuring interviews conducted by University of Victoria BC art historian, Allan Antliff with several leading North American anarchist artists, including Norman Nawrocki, discussing contemporary activist politics and art.
