A white banner, without a slogan, for peace. The world of culture mobilized on Sunday, November 19, for a silent and apolitical march for peace in the Middle East. “Taking a stand for peace is not naive, it is extremely important“, estimates the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul-Malak. The procession set off from the square of the Institut du Monde Arabe, in Paris, shortly before 3 p.m.towards the Museum of Art and History of Judaism.
“Show another voice”
Among those present were actress Isabelle Adjani, journalist Laure Adler and former Minister of Culture Jack Lang. Several thousand people responded to the call of 500 cultural figures. “It was important to show another voice and way“, assures Julie Gayet. Philippe Geluck noted : “We are here to express our empathy towards the victims, to say that this must stop.“Criticized for their silence in the face of war, the artists chose to demonstrate in silence.
