ANGA shares a communiqué: " In November, members from the Art Not Genocide Alliance will meet in Venice to strengthen and deepen their connections and to build on artistic infrastructure for Palestine—drawing from the A3 manifesto by the Palestinian Pavilion which is being distributed at the Venice Biennale—through strategies of boycott, divestment, and imagining liberatory, anticolonial structures for art worlds free from complicity in genocide. At the conclusion of the Venice Biennale, 22 - 24 November 2024, ANGA will be facilitating a closed-door Art Not Genocide Alliance Congress comprised of working groups with a focus on organizers for Palestine situated at the core of the western art system complicit in genocide. We come together to share learnings, build and strengthen our alliances, and collectively develop practical tools for culture workers around censorship, silencing, financing and sustaining infrastructure."

Since the publication of Art Not Genocide Alliance’s initial letter in February, signed by more than 24,000 people, the Venice Biennale has continued to remain silent about Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians despite the pseudo-closure of the Genocide Pavilion in the days before the Biennale’s opening. Thanks to the pressure of ANGA’s boycott campaign and our communities actions in Venice, the Genocide Pavilion will remain closed to the public for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale.
