249 - Palestine Justice Movement Sydney Forum: "Why We Are Boycotting The Sydney Festival"
This week I'm bringing you the audio of a panel I appeared on, discussing the reason behind and ideas around the recent boycott of the 2022 Sydney Festival.  I joined dozens of other artists in withdrawing from the Festival to protest its acceptance of $20k in sponsorship money from the Israeli embassy; a sponsorship which guaranteed Israel the honour of being a "star partner" of the festival.  Here I'm in conversation with academic Dr. Jumana Bayeh, the Executive Director of the Palestine Institute for Public Diplomacy Salem Barahmeh and my fellow boycotters Dr. Mohammed Ahmad (founding director of Western Sydney literacy outfit Sweatshop) and Maissa Alameddine (the Artist Director of the Ensemble Dandana, which is part of the Arab Theatre Studio).   Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you If you’ve got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron Check out with my other podcast about the Greens and green politics with Emerald Moon, Serious Danger @PalestineRising "Artists Against Apartheid Sydney Festival" petition  ARTICLE: Sydney Festival acts boycott over Israel by Farid Farid ARTICLE: Why I'm helping to organise a boycott of this year's Sydney Festival by Jennine Khalik  ARTICLE:Boycotts are an essential and necessary part of public life by Osman Faruqi ARTICLE: From Safsaf to Sydney: Palestinian resistance and the festival boycott by Jeanine Hourani, Rihab Charida & Matt Chun Cause of the Week: Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions Australia bdsaustralia.net.au
