Boycott Until... A Roundtable Discussion on Cultural Boycotts
One year into the escalating genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank (now expanding into allied Arab nations) and 20 years after the Palestinian call for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel, in the context of grotesque institutional failure to both uphold international human rights and recognize, on a legal or sensorial level, the humanity of the Palestinian people and their right to sovereignty: what do we as culture workers do now, and next?
Join @queerart and Writers Against the War on Gaza (@wawog_now) for a roundtable discussion on the role of cultural boycott in formalizing commitments to solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian people, and how and why we organize the cultural sector, from a contemporary and historical perspective.
The Zoom discussion will include Samir Eskanda, Shiv Kotecha, Michael Rakowitz, Zoé Samudzi, and will be moderated by Reya Sehgal. The virtual event begins Wednesday, October 16th at 3:00 PM EST.
