Nan Goldin Addresses War in Gaza at Berlin Exhibition Opening: ‘Are You Afraid to Hear This, Germany?’ (Art News, 2024-11-22)
“With tension mounting surrounding her solo show at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie, Nan Goldin delivered an impassioned speech at the exhibition’s opening in which she called on Germany to take seriously those who are seeking a ceasefire in Israel’s war in Gaza.”
“She went on to note a concurrent rise in Islamophobia that she said was being ‘ignored’ by the German state. ‘The weaponization of antisemitism is being aimed at the Palestinian community in this country and those who speak in support for them,’ she added. ‘The #ICC is talking about genocide. The #UN is talking about genocide. Even the #Pope is talking about genocide. Yet we’re not supposed to talk about this as genocide. Are you afraid to hear this, #Germany ?’”
