WHAT WE STAND FOR:
We are a collective of musicians and music lovers on unceded Kaurna Land.
We oppose genocide: no Zionism in the arts
We will not normalise genocide by allowing those who uphold the genocidal state of Israel to be part of the arts scene
We don’t want Zionist artists to:
1. Culturally validate Israel
2. Make profits from their art that they can donate to the Israeli occupying forces
3. We will mobilise the local music scene in action and advocacy (highlighting the intersection of social and political values with art)
HOW WE PLAN TO DO THIS:
We will NOT perform at or support venues that allow Zionists to play
We want to make it untenable for venues to host Zionist musicians
We will call on patrons to boycott these venues
We will organise fundraisers and send all funds to Palestinian mutual aid groups
