"We've always had the artist's back." - Creative Australia CEO Adrian Collette.
The CEO should resign.
The Board should resign.

Australian Senate Estimates are currently discussing the dismissal of Khaled Sabsabi & Michael Dagostino as artistic team for the 2026 Venice Biennale and it's a lot. www.youtube.com/live/Hy6oPye... All I can say is we should all be thankful for Senator @sarahhansonyoung.bsky.social

Assuming this review isn't just a way of quietly pushing the issue aside and hoping we forget about it, I can't see how this results in any benefit for Australian artists.
The Board should resign.
The CEO should resign.

What a sad day for Australian art. Great to see many of our arts leaders stand firm and resign from Creative Australia and/or pull substantial funding. This stuff is next level.
