Cultural Boycott of Israel

I say yes - especially since it explicitly says that we will not engage with any artists or organisations funded directly by the government (meaning we can still work with independent israeli artists).

Please let us know what you think? ryan x

this is potentially super annoying for the golden hour crowd / performers which starts at 8. I'd prefer not. Further, I always think it is best to keep the lobby / hall bt as little known as possible as it encourages random wanderings --- thought -- on both accounts I may be being paranoid.
