The Institut für Neue Soziale Plastik calls for artists from any discipline: „we still need to make some art“
While some people #needtotalk and others #stillneedtotalk we've arrived at the conviction that #WeStillNeedToMakeSomeArt. Following the self-centered discussions on censorship and victimization, notably post-October 7th, it's time to express resistance through art against any guise of antisemitism. It's imperative to challenge the ongoing 'not being allowed to speak out' discourse, which is a misrepresentation of the truth, and defend true artistic freedom.
The initiative #westillneedtomakesomeart between Israeli artist Boaz Kaizman and Institut für Neue Soziale Plastik calls for artists from any discipline to show their support within a digital gallery space. Instead of merely signing letters, it's about displaying art that demonstrates not every artist is consumed by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Let us spotlight art untouched by antisemitism or biased portrayals of Israel and proof that art maintains its purity amidst distorted perspectives.
