STRIKE GERMANY is a call for international cultural workers to strike from German cultural institutions. It is a call to refuse German cultural institutions' use of McCarthyist policies that suppress freedom of expression, specifically expressions of solidarity with Palestine 1/x

Die Schande seeks only to make an intervention into the popular discourse in Germany, not to profit from these texts. The selection of these texts was made anonymously and without the permission of the authors.

Hundreds of posters have appeared around galleries in Berlin on the occasion of Gallery Weekend 2024. In the face of cultural silence around Palestine and German complicity in the genocide in Gaza we say: NO BUSINESS AS USUAL 🇵🇸SOLIDARITY!✊

The @DAAD_Germany @DAAD_Artists and its president’s Joybrato Mukherjee’s near fanatic support of genocidal Israel can only be met with a complete refusal of collaboration, just as artist Jonas Staal and author China Miéville show.
Artists for Palestine UK@Art4PalestineUK23 Apr 2024
Author China Miéville rescinds his fellowship at the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) over its President's complicity in anti-Palestinian racism and censorship. This follows Dutch artist Jonas Staal's refusal of a nomination… salvage.zone/letter-to-the-d…

Letter from China Miéville to the DAAD

I had hoped to take part under the DAAD’s aegis not only in the cultural life of Berlin, a city I love, but in its political life too. But everyone has their red lines

No Death in Venice, leaflet drop at the German Pavilion There can be no enjoyment of art, no business as usual, during a genocide. #angalliance #labiennaledivenezia #venicebiennale #venicebiennale2024 #foreignerseverywhere #labiennaledivenezia2024​​​​​​​ #nodeathinvenice

Mother of Whores was originally commissioned for With Legs Wide Open – A Whore’s Ride Through History, an exhibition opening today at @GayMuseum in Berlin. Juliana Fadil-Luchkiw and I have pulled it from the show in support of @strikegermany. Here’s our full statement: – at Berlin, Germany

All over Berlin, posters with messages opposing the genocide against the Palestinian people appeared under the name of the theatres @HebbelAmUfer and @Volksbuehne. Together with Berlin’s culture senator, these institutions distanced themselves from the poster’s contents. Shameful

@SenKultGZ20 Feb 2024
In Berlin-Mitte und Kreuzberg werden derzeit Plakate im Namen von Berliner Bühnen mit Aussagen zum Nah-Ost-Konflikt aufgehängt, die nicht von den Einrichtungen verantwortet sind. Senator @ChialoJoe dazu:
Im Bild steht: „Als Kultursenator von Berlin schätze ich die lebendige kulturelle Landschaft unserer Stadt, die durch offene Diskurse und kreative Vielfalt geprägt ist. Diese einzigartige Atmosphäre fördert die Entstehung neuer Ideen und die Anerkennung verschiedener Perspektiven. Die kürzlich aufgetauchte Guerilla-Plakataktion zum Nahen Osten ist nicht nur juristisch problematisch, sondern untergräbt auch die Prinzipien des respektvollen Miteinanders und der kulturellen Integrität. Als Senator setze ich mich dafür ein, dass Kunst und Meinungsfreiheit respektiert werden, während gleichzeitig die Rechtsstaatlichkeit gewahrt bleibt und das Wohl unserer Gemeinschaft im Mittelpunkt steht.“ Joe Chialo Senator für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt"

The posters that are being branded as ‘antisemitic’ in German media contain messages like “Gaza is being starved” , “Ceasefire now!” or “All Gazan hospitals were bombed by Israel” The German cultural sphere is complicit in genocide. STRIKE GERMANY! strikegermany.org

Pro-Palestine Protesters Disrupt Tania Bruguera Performance in Berlin

The Hamburger Bahnhof museum characterized the actions as “violent hate speech,” though Brugera stressed that they were non-violent.

Während sich immer mehr Künstler:innen und Intellektuelle @strikegermany anschließen, sorgen deutsche Institutionen weiterhin fleißig selbst dafür, dass es um Deutschland langsam einsam wird.

Over the last months every 2nd state-funded culture event / representative that was suspected of even the slightest pro-Palestinian leanings in Germany either had to explain themselves or was canceled, but neo-fascist ghouls of the AfD party are officially invited to Berlinale 👍
