Gallery 101 is formally endorsing PACBI, the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.

Gallery 101 (G101) strives to reach beyond visual arts communities through projects, programming, partnerships, and the exhibition of self-representations of decolonizing, feminist, intersectional counter-narratives. Recognition of cultural institutions’ role in challenging systemic violence and upholding human rights is integral to our work.
By endorsing PACBI, G101 declares solidarity with Palestinian artists, academics, cultural workers and civil society; and refuses projects and partnerships with institutions that normalize or uphold occupation, genocide, and apartheid.
We thank past and present Board members, artists, fellow artist-run centres and arts presenters, and G101's community members for their patience, guidance and support in delivering our clear stand towards durable, institutional change.
We invite our peers and partners in the arts community to join us in this commitment.

Please visit: bdsmovement.net/pacbi to learn more about key PACBI guidelines and principles.
