Pro-Palestinian artists withdraw from Sydney Festival over Israeli sponsorship deal – Palestinian artists and writers accuse festival organizers of “creating a culturally unsafe environment for Arab artists and audiences.” | World Israel News | WIN
A coalition of pro-Palestinian artists and others have withdrawn their participation from the 2022 Sydney Festival, and are calling for a boycott of the event over its ties to Israel.
The 2022 Sydney Festival — set to run on Jan. 6-30 — signed a $20,000 “Star Partner” sponsorship agreement with the Israeli Embassy in Canberra, which supports the festival’s scheduled performance by the Sydney Dance Company of a work called “Decadence” by Israeli choreographer Ohad Naharin.
