"Venice Biennale targeted by strike action and protests over Israel's involvement
A 24-hour cultural strike called by international and Italian unions and activist groups will take place on Friday
Protests will take place on Friday against Israel’s participation in the Venice Biennale, with a 24-hour cultural strike called by a coalition of Italian and international unions and activist groups.

The strike, which is the first to be organised within the prestigious arts festival, follows protests on its first day of Russia and Israel’s involvement.

On Wednesday, the Art Not Genocide Alliance (Anga) organised a direct action in solidarity with Palestine outside the Israeli pavilion at the Venice Biennale’s Arsenale complex.

Hundreds of protesters, holding signs including “No artwashing genocide” and “No genocide pavilion”, gathered for speeches by artists and artworkers exhibiting and working at this year’s Biennale.

All of them were protesting against Israel's inclusion in the festival. Israel has killed scores of Palestinian artists and destroyed many cultural and artistic sites during its genocide in Gaza."

La Biennale di Venezia è uno dei palcoscenici culturali più visibili al mondo. Ed è proprio per questo che Russia e Israele ci tengono ad esserci.
Si chiama artwashing: usare il prestigio dell’arte per rendere accettabile ciò che è inaccettabile.
Da una parte la Russia di Putin, che bombarda l’Ucraina, reprime il dissenso e perseguita chi si oppone alla guerra. Dall’altra Israele, Stato genocidario che devasta Gaza, uccide civili e calpesta sistematicamente il diritto internazionale.
Davanti a tutto questo, il Governo Meloni, il Ministero della Cultura e la Biennale guidata da Buttafuoco scelgono l’ipocrisia: parole prudenti, nessuna responsabilità politica, nessuna scelta chiara.
Si nascondono dietro “l'autonomia” e “la neutralità”, ma quando la neutralità serve a normalizzare crimini e repressione, diventa complicità.
Pussy Riot, FEMEN, artiste e attivisti non stanno disturbando la cultura in questo momento: la stanno difendendo da chi vuole trasformarla in copertura diplomatica.
Volt sta dalla loro parte.

Israel is going to compulsorily execute imprisoned Palestinians after 3 years of intense genocide in Gaza that's now spreading to other countries.

Meanwhile the National Concert Hall is hosting an artwashing fundraiser for an Israeli charity organised by Alan Shatter.

From Erev Rav (unfortunately not yet on the fediverse):

"Once again, Dutch mainstream media has presented a dismissive and homogenous picture of a protest, failing to mention the diversity of protesters, singers, and musicians who stood up against artwashing genocide on Sunday. The press also failed to mention that the protest was co-organized by an anti-Zionist Jewish organization rejecting the use of our religious symbols as propaganda and reclaiming our festivities. 🕎🇵🇸"

Le 7 septembre, le Spoutnik, le Cinélux, le CDD, BDS et PFC’E s’unissent pour projeter From Ground Zero, en écho à la Journée du Cinéma, en refusant le sponsoring d’Allianz. À Genève, ces partenaires choisissent d’affirmer que la programmation n’est jamais neutre, en donnant la parole à 22 cinéastes gazaouixes à travers documentaires, fictions, animations et fragments expérimentaux.
