This act of cruel aggression should be resisted with all the<br />means at our disposal. We strongly believe that the war in Ukraine is<br />a fight for freedom, for the future of democracy, the global legal<br />order, and respect for human rights, including the right to<br />self-determination. We caution everyone against ignoring this<br />threat—for our friends in Ukraine, this war rightfully brings back<br />tragic memories of the Second World War and the Nazi invasion.<br /><br />The gravity of this situation requires appropriate measures to be<br />taken. Apart from the full package of sanctions that were and will be<br />imposed by the EU, we call for the artistic community to immediately<br />cease any collaborations with institutions and individuals who have<br />direct ties with Putin’s regime and refuse to renounce their<br />affiliation with it. This includes international projects,<br />exhibitions, donations, and art sales. Russian participation in<br />cultural gatherings such as biennales should be suspended and all the<br />events organized by regime-related art foundations, institutions,<br />galleries, and individuals boycotted. At the same time, we call for<br />the international artistic community to support our comrades in both<br />Ukraine and Russia who fight and protest against this act of<br />aggression—by providing funds, resources, safe spaces, and visibility<br />to their struggle.<br /><br />We ask you to sign this petition<br /><br /><a href="https://www.change.org/p/art-world-art-world-oppose-russia-s-invasion-of-ukraine" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.change.org/p/art-world-art-world-oppose-russia-s-invasion-of-ukraine</a><br /><br />to show your agreement with this letter and solidarity with Ukraine’s<br />struggle for freedom. Please let us know in the comments if you or<br />your organizations are willing to support displaced Ukrainian artists<br />or art workers, and in what ways you could do so.<br /><br />With full conviction, we shout:<br />*never again war, never again imperialism!*<br /><br />L’Internationale Confederation<br /><br />Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven<br />MSN, Warsaw<br />MACBA, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona<br />M HKA, Antwerp<br />Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid<br />Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb<br />HDK-Valand Academy of Arts and Design, Gothenburg<br />National College of Art and Design, Dublin<br /><br />______________________________________________<br />SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe<br />Info, archive and help:<br /><a href="https://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre</a></blockquote>
