Author Karen Wyld’s Black & Write Award was canceled after writing QLD Premier David Crisafulli’s state library about social media publications in Gaza. Rosemary reports.

First News in Bluesky: Another notch in the vigilanist . Australia The newspaper’s campaign against artists and writers.

A journalist knew this Karen Wyld‘S Black & Write! Even before the author was informed, the award was taken. And this time, in the scenes that he should love the pose, who shouted, “He will teach him a lesson,” Wyld was literally a statement to celebrate that he was his buyer. Queensland State LibraryThe award is said to be shaft.

The next day, Guardian There was a storyThe Victoria State Library, including SLQ on “re-planning” and a “independent review”, recalled that the Wictoria State Library responded to X for the last minute dismissal of anti-genocide writers earlier last year.

Karen Wyld clarified with Protector Journalist Kelly Burke, that you received an e -mail Australia When he reached the event, he asked for a comment about losing a scholarship. Then he found himself ‘He entered a private room’ Where is SLQ General Manager, Vick McDonaldHe said the award contract was canceled.

According to WYLD, when McDonald tries to explain that this would increase the concern of the public about creative freedom (this is an interpretation):

‘McDonald said it was decided that it was a risk -worthy risk.’

Who cares about what the people think? Governments and lobbyists who need to be hospitalized in the media and business world conditions Like those used by Queensland Premier Crisafulli They did not want taxpayers to finance these artists their money).

The humiliation of the author, to cancel without any notification, infuriate all the previous buyers of Black & Write, and horrifying! The scholarship, sometimes alienating those who speak cleverly angry, the Albanian government’s support for Israel’s ongoing attack – yes, no. A risk worth taking

On the other hand, stand up and talk, do the right and ethical thing – apparently very risky. Just make an additional statement about independent examinations to silence the scandal and will explode. This is done in this way.

Adrian Collette Creative entered the successful campaign to leave the storm in Australia Khaled sabsasi As Australian artist Venice Biennial. Though Announcement that President Robert Morgan resigned And Sabsasi says that the biennial is still a possibility as part of the exhibition opened at the Monash Art Gallery.

Victoria State Library CEO Paul Duldig Following the authors’ dismissal scandal, it was clearly dug with a series of convincing answers, and a series of revelation and the next examination process have been forgotten – except by the authors who are humiliated by all sad epic.

How about shocking decision? Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) To cancel the performance of the pianist Jayson Gillham In response to his mention, about the music he is about to play – the killing of journalists in Gaza? A CEO went, announced a review, then postponed (on waiting Gillham Matter is now a legal case), the changes of the board of directors. And still, Edgar Myer In February, the MSO Presidency did not even point to the fact that the organization fought in court to reject the right to free speech as an artist; And since November last year, no update has been made about “governance issues”.

If nobody asks, you don’t have to talk about all these scattered things. In the show – abundant quantity other The artists, the beautiful ones, the approved ones, will not talk about the war, step on the stage, the stairs carefully avoided the blood stain. Only every art award, festival or organization had been very well educated in patient administrative subsidization skills.

Last week, Michelle de Kretser Stella won the award For his book, Theory and application. The interviews before the official announcement continued almost the questions about the book, but because the Stella prize event took place during the Sydney Writers Festival Sydney Morning Herald Did he have to hear the winner’s speech?

Journalist Kerrien O’Brien reported The next day he decided that Kretser accepted the fear of speech, but the truth should be discussed. The type of censorship seen a few days ago, the penalty encountered as a stimulus, which he complied with Karen WYLD, gave results not only for the authors, but also for democracy:

“Today, in Australia, not those who applaud the mass murders that cause fear, but those who speak against it. First of all, Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, First Nations People, Color People, Queers.”

In the article, O’Brien did not tell us what the audience response to Kretser’s speech, but when the author confessed, his voice in his head told him that he would “be punished”, and that his result should be welcomed.

“I’m still scared. But I just accepted a reward that is not only about obedience. This is not about the narratives that make you feel good, not about marketing, but not even about creativity-about changing the world.”

Making mistakes: so that all kinds of artists are ruthlessly maintained by the organization, a coalition of a wake -up coalition, a coalition to break in hell to forget those who threaten their creative abilities to change the world. These people and groups, who find allies in the racist cults coming to the barracks for the genocide, choose their perceived enemies one by one.

Like Jo Caust, Culture and Communication Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, SpeechIn the spontaneous signs of punishment conservatism, there are many self -assigned cultural defenses ready to say the most shocking elementary things. Australia. Visual Arts Editor Australia, Christopher AllenHe made an extraordinary comment, Caust, ‘Anyone with any judgment would avoid choosing an artist linked to the nations involved in conflict’As it states, SabsasiLebanese nationality.

At that time, this disgusting participant is not satisfied with the call for open prejudice, another willing participant who returned to the elitist control of the culture. Australia journalist Steve Waterson inevitable took the next step backwards to ask– ‘Why are people who are inadequate to support them with their abilities (if any) should expect their fantasies to be spoiled by the taxpayer’.

Like Kretser, Caust warned that these attacks on both freedom of expression and diversity were “non -democratic ve and reduced the number of people who could participate in the criteria supervised by those who have money and thus to the people who can influence everything, including culture.

Karen Wyld was punished for a tweet that was not related to his book in the stolen generations. When Jayson Gillham was punished for explaining the motivation behind a piece of music, he immediately saw what was in danger beyond the damage to him. Khaled Sabsasi speaks for all artists when he refuses to be wrongly represented and punished because of his ethnic origin.

And Michelle de Kretser said that he was ready to recoil, but he was ready to recoil, but that he was ready to recoil the women who were in need of a reward for female writers, especially for female writers. specify the truth:

“We have seen that our institutions and the media betray the principles that they need to support.”

Nevertheless, this week, the government of Queensland, Premier Crisafulli and Art Minister John-Paul Langbroek, the local writer Karen Wyld expressed concerns about social media interpretations of the Ideological Mire’nin deep.
