""In the face of cancelation, threat, and incommensurable losses, [we] dare to think and dream the world differently," Goliath said in a statement."
"Goliath and her curator Ingrid Masondo decried the judge's ruling as a 'dangerous precedent, jeopardizing the rights of artists, curators, and creatives in South Africa to freedom of expression-freedom to dissent.'"
Gabrielle Goliath's performance project Elegy will take place at Chiesa di Sant'Antonin in Venice after its cancellation from South Africa's Biennale pavilion. The cancellation occurred due to references to Israel's war in Gaza, leading to backlash and a failed legal challenge. Goliath's work, which commemorates various injustices, has been updated to honor Palestinian poet Hiba Abu Nada, whose death in an Israeli airstrike sparked controversy. The exhibition aims to promote freedom of expression and challenge censorship.
