The protest artwork highlights concerns in the art community about censorship and the professional repercussions faced by artists and cultural workers who express their views opposing Israel's genocide.

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day!

Many people have received the Nobel Peace Prize for doing a lot less than him. On this day 43 years ago, Stanislav Petrov was a lieutenant colonel in the Soviet military, the commanding officer of a USSR nuclear early warning site.

On Sept. 26th 1983, he watched in disbelief as the monitoring software showed that the US had launched 5 nuclear missiles. Why would America send 5 missiles when they had thousands? It didn’t add up.

Petrov stayed calm. His job was to suggest retaliation, but he chose not to, and did nothing. He was proved 100% right – it had been a false alarm.

Stanislav's choice to do nothing saved the world from destruction.
