The Hall of Shame and Hall of Fame

bigcampaign.org joins other groups in celebrating the list of artists to recently cancel appearances/engagements in Israel. We believe the cultural boycott is gaining in effect.

Recent cancellations include: Jean-Luc Godard, Bjork, Siouxie Sioux, and Snoop Dogg.

We believe that the hard work of activists and calls issued by organizations such as PACBI have been effective in increasing consciousness of the boycott — many other artists are refusing to play Israel, but are doing so quietly. The next challenge is to encourage these artists to publicly engage with the boycott. And much remains to be done.

Artists to have recently announced upcoming concerts include: Laurie Anderson and Mercedes Sosa.

Pass on the word... the cultural boycott is spreading.
