'Every day Stedelijk Museum does not support Palestinians, it lets fear and self-interest prevail over human rights'
Filmmaker Joeri Pruys argues in an opinion piece that the Stedelijk Museum’s claim of neutrality is impossible when addressing the situation in Gaza, accusing the institution of prioritizing fear and financial interests over human rights. Pruys criticizes Director Rein Wolfs for withdrawing previous support for causes like Black Lives Matter and Ukraine to maintain a supposedly apolitical stance. The author contends that all cultural choices have political dimensions and that refusing to condemn genocide implicitly supports it, warning that such cowardice undermines democracy and allows institutions to become toothless.
