"We almost knock out the federal jewel of culture," according to Michael De Cock, "which is Bozar." #Culture #Flandre #BudgetCulturel (translated)
The article denounces the drastic cuts in the cultural budget of Flanders, which threaten major institutions like Bozar, revealing a systematic attack on culture in favor of an austere economic approach. #Culture #Flandre #BudgetCulturel (translated)
Received a message from someone in Bozar. The director led the concert. Due to the loss of subsidies, he refused to do it "in Dutch as well." It remains astonishing how many people and institutions take it for granted to live at the expense of others. The absurd reactions today prove that once again. #cultuur #subsidies #Bozar (translated)
Une polémique éclate en Belgique sur l'invitation de Lahav Shani, chef d'orchestre israélien, à Bozar, en raison de son rôle à la tête de l'Orchestre philharmonique d'Israël, face aux accusations de crimes liés à l'État qu'il représente. #LahavShani #Bozar #culturaldebate
V několika organizacích se v úterý ráno konala demonstrace před Palácem krásných umění (Bozar) v Bruselu proti plánované návštěvě izraelského dirigenta Lahava Shaniho, přičemž protestující kritizovali jeho ambiguózní postoj k situaci v Gaze a požadovali zrušení jeho koncertu, zatímco ředitel Bozaru zdůraznil, že instituce vítá umělce z celého světa a Shani se postavil proti válce a násilí. #ProPalestine #BoycottCultural #Gaza

Several people are resigning from the Board of Directors of @BozarBrussels over the scheduled concert of an Israeli conductor. Never mind that Lahav Shani is a peace activist; he just declines to perform the debasing ritual of self-denunciation that the activists demand of him. #BozarBrussels #LahavShani #CulturalBoycott #IL #BE
