How Israel-Gaza war is spilling into cultural life
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has not only caused widespread devastation and loss of life, but it is also spilling over into cultural life in the region and beyond.
Artists, musicians, and filmmakers are using their platforms to raise awareness about the plight of civilians caught in the crossfire. They are creating works that reflect the pain, suffering, and resilience of those living in war-torn areas.
In addition, cultural institutions around the world are grappling with how to respond to the conflict. Some are canceling events featuring Israeli artists or institutions, while others are highlighting the voices of Palestinians and their supporters.
The war is sparking important conversations about the role of art in times of conflict, the power of cultural expression to bring about change, and the importance of standing in solidarity with those who are suffering.
