SILENCE IS COMPLICITY

Today we are joining our voices to countless others who are refusing to stay silent about Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. We call on all European institutions and governments to break from their inaction and make every effort to prevent the continued massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and their arrest and intimidation in the West Bank. Silence is complicity.

As artists, curators, and cultural workers associated with the Institute of Radical Imagination, we urgently call for an immediate ceasefire and the swift deployment of international aid to halt the mounting loss of life in the Gaza Strip. Over the past 16 years, long before October 7, Israel has increasingly turned the Gaza Strip into a horrific siege where Israel determines all minor details of life, what goods enter and exit the enclave, who can travel or get urgent medical treatment. We join countless others in their commitment to end the century-long colonial oppression of Palestine and the dismantling of Israel’s apartheid regime.

We stand with protesters around the world, as well as inside Israel, that call for an end to the Zionist occupation.

We stand against the worldwide perpetuation of a colonial industrial complex that reproduces itself through the suppression of freedom of speech and democratic assembly, and the employment of various forms of censorship that have infiltrated our political and cultural institutions.

Where hatred and ethnic cleansing prevail, the path of struggle is r/existence. We join our voices in calling for the decolonization of Palestine.
