“The reinstatement of artist Khaled Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino as Australia’s artistic team for the Venice Biennale is a win for freedom of artistic expression but it highlights just how much of a farce this whole situation has been. “Today’s decision is a vindication for all those who stood up for Khaled in the artistic and wider community. We have been completely vindicated and those who had the courage to stand up for Khaled should be congratulated.
“This is the right end to a very sorry saga but it’s a terrible day for the board and CEO of Creative Australia who have disgraced themselves throughout this ordeal. “It is clear that the leadership of Creative Australia needs a clean out in order to rebuild trust within the artistic community and the Australian public."
