Many cultural institutions have been exposed as complicit in the ongoing genocide. This session will bring together organisers to reflect on the movement against this complicity. What strategies and tactics have artists and cultural workers been using? How is solidarity with Palestine strengthening organised labour across the arts? And what possibilities do arts and culture create at this moment?
