Description
Last-Minute Venue Change for Israel-Palestine Panel in Adelaide
Organizers of a sold-out panel on the Israel-Palestine conflict at an alternative writers festival in Adelaide faced a sudden venue change just 72 hours before the event. The university pulled the original venue, Elder Hall, and the event had to move to Norwood Concert Hall, causing costs to skyrocket more than ten times the original budget. The university cited a skipped review process and safety concerns, but panelists like Chris Sidoti and Francesca Albanese see it as a hindrance to free exchange of ideas and open democracy.
