Gold Bolus Recordings stands in solidarity with the people of Palestine and supports their liberation from genocide, apartheid, colonialism, and cultural suppression. Gold Bolus adheres to the guidelines of the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and commits to not crossing the international picket lines as formulated. This means we will
• Boycott any cultural product commissioned by an official Israeli body
• Boycott any cultural product funded by an official Israeli body, even if not commissioned
• Boycott any cultural event that is partially or fully sponsored or funded by an official Israeli body
• Refrain from participation in any form of academic and cultural cooperation, collaboration, or joint projects with Israeli institutions, including suspension of all forms of funding and subsidies to/from these institutions
• Refrain from hosting or circulating any events or cultural products operating under the auspices of “normalization”, or which advance a false symmetry between oppressed and oppressor
• Support Palestinian academic and cultural institutions directly without requiring them to partner with Israeli counterparts as an explicit or implicit condition for such support
We reject the notion of boycotting individuals based on their identity (such as citizenship, race, gender, sexuality, or religion) or opinion. Mere affiliation of Israeli cultural workers to an Israeli cultural institution is therefore not grounds for applying this boycott. If, however, an individual is representing the state of Israel or a complicit Israeli institution, or is commissioned/recruited to participate in Israel’s efforts to change its image via the production of art and culture, then their activities are subject to the institutional boycott the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement is calling for.
For the sake of the Palestinian people, and for the sake of us all, we urge all artists, arts organizations, and cultural workers to take action. More information at https://bdsmovement.net/pacbi
