My practice emerges from a deep personal reckoning.

I hold a strong affinity for Israel—one that is a source of much shame.

What concerns me, what drives my practice, is how deeply the logics of that place—settler colonialism, Jewish supremacy—shapes how I see and move through the world.

For me, Anti-Zionism is not a fixed position but a trajectory, something I work towards rather than claim to fully inhabit. This ongoing project defines my most immediate audience: those who share that trajectory, those who must reckon with Zionist logics too.

While I recognize the importance and impact of direct action against Israeli cultural institutions, I see my role in working to mobilize shame from within. I won’t accept direct state funding, but I feel compelled to remain in conversation with that place and those who must reckon with it, even as each opportunity involves its own shame.

I don’t know what I’ll decide the next time an opportunity arises, but I work to keep my voice and trajectory clear and sharp, creating work that will, I hope, participate in the inevitable work of dismantling Zionism in Israel/Palestine.
