From Sydney Festival to Vivid: Cultural boycotts and the struggle for Palestinian Freedom

In January 2022, a successful boycott targeted Israeli funding for Sydney Festival, with 23 artists and acts refusing to perform. A number of artists have also refused to perform in Israel itself. Now, a new campaign aims to end Vivid Sydneyʼs sponsorship from Airbnb, a company that operates in the illegal Israeli settlements.

Join Stop the War on Palestine for a public meeting and panel about cultural boycotts and the struggle for Palestinian freedom. We will discuss the contribution that cultural boycotts, past and present, can make in ending Israelʼs occupation and genocide.
