Eleven cultural organizations in Montreal affirm or reaffirm their endorsement of PACBI and restate their commitment to the liberation of Palestine

Tio'tia:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal — February 18, 2025

In solidarity with Palestine, and in concert with a growing number of cultural actors around the world, articule commits to the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) that was launched in 2004 as part of the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. PACBI advocates for a boycott of Israeli academic and cultural institutions, based on their continued complicity in Israel’s denial of Palestinian rights as stipulated by international law. 

Solidarity with PACBI means that articule will not collaborate, fund, or accept funding from the Israeli government or related funding bodies, and calls for a boycott of all cultural and academic products that normalize the state of Israel. We acknowledge that based on our organizational scale, these demands are not difficult to carry out. However we believe that it is important to consider such stances within the context of the ongoing genocide in Palestine. 

We strongly encourage Montreal-based artistic groups, cultural workers, and artists to publicly support these demands and share this commitment with their members.
