Palivision

Cultural Event for people who want to observe the Eurovision boycott


08/05/2024

The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), a founding member of the BDS movement, calls for the boycott of Eurovision 2024. PACBI and the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate had called on Eurovision organisers, the EBU, to ban Israel – just as Russia was banned for its illegal invasion of Ukraine – or face widespread boycotts. The EBU has instead doubled down on its shameful, hypocritical complicity in Israel’s genocide.

For this reason, theleftberlin is organising PALIVISION – an evening of live music, spoken word performances and speeches for people in Berlin who want to observe the Eurovision boycott. Join us at Al Hamra at Raumer Straße 16 in Prenzlauer Berg on Saturday, 11th May. Doors open at 6pm – the venue is relatively small, so come early to be sure of a place. The first act will take the stage at 7pm.

All money raised at PALIVISION will be donated to the European Legal Support Centre to help their fight against the repression of Palestine Solidarity in Germany. Here is the provisional programme (NOTE: times may still change):
