AFZ

We, Habitat Artspace, as an artist association involved in the promotion of culture as a tool for emancipation, declare this space as an APARTHEID FREE ZONE (AFZ) and affirm our support for and commitment to the growing international movement for Palestinian rights and for freedom, justice, and equality for all.

We commit to respecting the guidelines of the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, PACBI urges international cultural workers and cultural organizations, including unions and associations, to boycott apartheid Israel and work towards the cancellation of events, activities, agreements, or projects involving Israel, its lobby groups, or its complicit cultural institutions. Israel’s cultural institutions are part and parcel of the ideological and institutional scaffolding of Israel’s regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid against the Palestinian people. These institutions are clearly implicated, through their silence or active participation, in supporting, justifying and whitewashing Israel’s occupation and systematic denial of Palestinian rights. anti-normalization guidelines. We don’t have financial and professional relations with international institutions or corporations complicit in Israel's genocidal, apartheid, and settler colonial regime, and as defined by the BDS movement.

We recognize that all our struggles for social, racial, gender, climate, and economic justice and for self-determination are deeply interconnected and can only gain strength and power from mutual support and solidarity.
