This event is being put on by Labour for Palestine (L4P). It will be running at the same time as open hours. L4P has requested no jams during their art build. The event description follows:
A community gather to create art that can be used to protest the Davis Cup. Halifax will host a Davis Cup World Group I tie between Team Canada and Team Israel on Sept. 12th-13th at the Halifax Scotiabank Centre. Tennis Canada should have the political foresight, maturity, and the moral capacity to refuse what is business as usual. The Davis Cup does not occur or exist outside the context of Israel’s egregious actions including apartheid, genocide, and other war crimes against the Palestinian people. If the City of Halifax, the Province of Nova Scotia, the Scotiabank Centre, the International Tennis Federation and Tennis Canada, proceed with this match, all will be complicit. Hosting Team Israel during the Davis Cup is nothing more than an effort to launder the reputation of a state committing genocide and guilty of illegal military occupation and apartheid. Come make some art about it!
