From Performing and Visual Artists to Our Representatives: Demand an Immediate Ceasefire and an End to Israel's Occupation of Palestine

A No Manifesto for 2023 and Beyond (after Yvonne Rainer)

11 December 2023


ATT:

Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister

Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs

Tony Burke, Minister for the Arts

We, the undersigned, are performing and visual artists on this continent coming together to say:

NO to the genocide of Palestinians at the hands of Israel. 

NO to engaging in the language of ‘both sides’. The current attacks on Gaza are a horrific escalation in what has been 75 years of the settler-colonial State of Israel subjecting Palestinian people to genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation, and racial apartheid aided and armed by imperial Western powers. 

NO to the Australian government’s cowardice, complicity, and blatant violation of international humanitarian and criminal law. These are stains on our collective humanity. The world is watching.

We demand that the Australian government withdraw support from Israel’s genocide by calling for:

  • An immediate, permanent ceasefire.

  • An end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land and the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

  • The withdrawal of Australia’s support for Israel.

  • The complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.

  • The immediate opening of borders into Palestine for unimpeded, limitless aid from the international community, including food, water, fuel, medical supplies and infrastructure rebuilding.

  • The reinstatement and continued supply of water, internet, and electricity to Gaza.

  • The repatriation of all hostages, political prisoners, Palestinian workers from Gaza, and refugees.

  • The unlimited welcome and expedited visa processing of new Palestinian refugees.

  • Sanctions to be imposed on Israel in response to their war crimes.

  • Respect and protection for all civilians, including medical staff, aid workers, human rights workers, journalists, and photographers impacted by this genocide.

  • Respect and protection for all civilian infrastructure.

  • The dismantlement of the Zionist entity, including Western government and media complicity in the Zionist project of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and land theft. 

  • The refusal of Israeli and Zionist funding for artistic initiatives on this continent, in an explicit rejection of how contemporary art and live performance are used by the State of Israel to deflect attention from its historical and ongoing barbaric attacks on Palestinian lives and Palestinian cultural institutions.

  • The refusal of international funding, touring, residency, and associated cultural arrangements involving the State of Israel and global and local Zionist lobby firms and associates that put independent artists in the uncomfortable position of being forced to choose between earning a living and developing our creative practice; and finding our art exploited as culture-washing PR or tax dodges for ethnic cleansing agendas.

  • The refusal of queer-washing creative and commercial collaborations with the State of Israel and Zionist organisations that aim to promote the State of Israel as a queer global destination, while mass murdering queer Palestinians.

We join in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, who have resisted the violence of occupation and settler colonialism on this continent for 235 years.

To the best of our knowledge, we will refuse any funding and/or collaborations with organisations or funders whose foundation or board members are known to be: directly associated with the genocide of Palestinians; invested in maintaining Israeli occupation of Palestinian land; denying Palestinian rights, and silencing Palestinian voices and non-Palestinians who speak up for Palestinian rights. No matter our past entanglements and complicity, we will speak up without fear of reprisal and bullying, supported by the solidarity of our community members committed to Palestinian liberation.

We condemn the weaponising of accusations of antisemitism to keep people silent and justify the genocide of Palestinians.

We condemn Islamophobia, antisemitism and all racism, bigotry, colonialism, and war profiteering. We join in solidarity with all of those calling for an end to the violence in occupied Palestine. 

We call on governments to facilitate and never restrict the demonstrations happening across the continent and the democratic right that citizens have to protest. Demonstrations offer people the opportunity to embody their demands, hopes, and humanity, and to physically show up in solidarity.

Live performance is a powerful art form for the very fact that it is live – live performance moves people to feel and act. As live performers who often take our shows around the world, we believe in unrestricted border crossings, free and safe passage for all people, and in being part of a global community. Because of the nature of our art, we cannot ignore events that impact our colleagues, audiences, and communities – our people.

As live performers, we put our bodies on the line for a living. We open our limbs, and in doing so, open imaginations to the many different ways we can approach embodiment in a shared space and time. We make ourselves vulnerable because we trust that our audiences will receive our honest and authentic self-expression, even if they may not always understand or agree with what we are saying.

Palestinians have been putting their bodies on the line to stay alive. They are taking risks with their bodies and minds that we, in our identity as performers and visual artists alone, can never imagine.

We watch with horror as Palestinians hold up the corpses of their children who have just been killed by Israeli airstrikes and by the slow deaths of starvation and infrastructure destruction, as a means of offering up their grief to the public in a desperate plea for the world to believe in their humanity.

We've watched journalists lose their families and their own lives to the Israeli war machine, as they worked tirelessly and thanklessly to report the truth in the face of silence, as well as active misreporting by international media, including our very own public broadcaster.

We've seen Palestinian-Australian Hash Tayeh's Burgertory Caulfield store burnt down overnight by arsonists in the wake of Zionist complaints after it became known that he exercised his right as a citizen of a democracy to participate in a peaceful protest.

We've also seen hundreds of non-Palestinians, including Jewish persons, around the world and on this continent, show up publicly and boldly to call for permanent ceasefire and an end to Israel's domination of Palestinian communities – only to have this activism be met with ostracism, loss of work, and physical assaults. These are live ‘shows’ where the stakes are literally life and death.

Our hearts are with our comrades in the Palestinian diaspora here on this continent. We grieve the unspeakable loss, we honour the martyrs, and we commit to the struggle until Palestine is free.

Fellow artists, fellow humans, please join us in our unwavering, unequivocal solidarity with the Palestinian people, calling for their liberation from the river to the sea. You will be joining millions of people all around the world.
