paper cameras press formally commits to adhering to the Palestinian international call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) and to complying with the guidelines of the Palestinian Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI).

We stand in total solidarity with the people of Palestine, who continue to struggle for liberation against the ongoing genocidal violence of Western imperial and Zionist powers.

Even though we are a small press with currently just 1 worker, we are active participants in memory work, archival stewardship, and the field of photography—all of which are webbed into institutional fabrics that have historically been weaponized by imperial actors to manufacture consent for genocide. Thus we, both as individuals and with our larger connective capacities, commit to not crossing the international picket line for Palestine. Specifically, we commit—where applicable—to:

• Boycott any cultural product commissioned by an official Israeli body;
  
• Boycott any cultural product funded by an official Israeli body, even if not commissioned;
  
• Boycott any cultural event that is partially or fully sponsored or funded by an official Israeli body;
• Refrain from participation in any form of academic and cultural cooperation, collaboration, or joint projects with Israeli institutions, including suspension of all forms of funding and subsidies to/from these institutions;
• Refrain from hosting or circulating any events or cultural products operating under the auspices of “normalization”, or which advance a false symmetry between oppressed and oppressor;
• Support Palestinian academic and cultural institutions directly without requiring them to partner with Israeli counterparts as an explicit or implicit condition for such support.
