In 2023, the Nobel Peace Center invited high school students in Oslo to tell the story of Iranian Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi - through the medium of a graphic short story! The winning entry was made by Siham Salim Sharif, Seyma Aysegül Yaman and Haleema Pervaiz, students at Stovner Upper Secondary School, and it was submitted by their teacher Silje B. Hvila.

The exhibited graphic short story was drawn by award winning illustrator and author Nora Dåsnes based on the winning entry, and made in cooperation with the students themselves.
