"The strike is a collective refusal of genocide normalisation in culture and of the precarious labour conditions the Biennale is built on. ANGA calls on signatory artists, curators, and art workers to close their pavilions and venues."
"Last month ANGA sent a letter to the Biennale management which was signed by more than 230 artists, curators and art workers involved in this year's Venice Biennale. The letter demanded the cancellation of the Israeli pavilion."
Cultural workers and participants at the Venice Biennale are organizing a 24-hour strike on May 8 in protest of Israel's participation. The strike, led by the Art Not Genocide Alliance, aims to address issues of genocide normalization in culture and poor labor conditions. Over 230 artists and curators signed a letter demanding the cancellation of the Israeli pavilion. The strike is supported by various Italian trade unions and will include a rally in Venice during the Biennale's opening week.
