FREE PALESTINE

With immediate effect, and in response to persistent calls from Palestinian artists and Palestinian society, we are imposing a cultural boycott on the Israeli state and all Israeli institutions and companies.

Published on October 3rd, 2025

Together with 875 cultural workers and 300 organisations from the Dutch and Belgian cultural sector, we no longer wish to stand on the sidelines of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Palestinian people, which has been recognised by all authoritative institutions.

We draw on the experience of the cultural boycott of South Africa, which contributed to the collapse of that country's apartheid policy. We stand in solidarity with our Palestinian colleagues who have lost loved ones and been driven from their homes, and with our Israeli colleagues who fight side by side with us for justice for the entire Palestinian people.

A cultural boycott will not be enough to stop the genocide and occupation. Following existing calls from Palestinians, we therefore also call on the sports sector, academia, the economic sector and politicians to sever ties. Only together can we force Israel to comply with international law.

Impunity must end.
Complicity must end.

In these grim times of grief, we come together to find strategies for coping, for uniting, and for raising our voices in enduring struggles towards liberation.

It’s hard to find words these days. Still, we try.

An art organization does not exist in isolation, but is intricately connected to the world it inhabits. In recent days, we have been deeply troubled as we've witnessed the specter of death, the shattering of lives, and the devastation affecting Israeli and Palestinian lives.

The unfolding violence in and around Gaza represents a clear violation of international law, a stark affront to our shared humanity. Countless civilians, including children, are being displaced and subjected to relentless bombardment. In this solemn moment, we stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are being ignored on the international stage.

As an art organization we serve as a hub for reflection, engagement, and the sharing of knowledge and stories. That's why we wish to share these links with you, so you can join us in making a gesture of solidarity.
