ADL State of the Arts: Selma Blair

Selma Blair, actor, author and advocate, on refusing to stay silent in the face of antisemitism, confronting the exclusion of Jewish voices in the arts and using her platform — through ADL’s State of the Arts and her new project — to demand visibility, accountability and change. Why ADL launched State of the Arts: First-of-its-kind research reveals a systemic pattern of discrimination and antisemitism across museums, entertainment and publishing. BEHIND THE FRAME: 30% of 40 leading U.S. art museums received the lowest rating, "Critically Deficient." MISSING CHAPTER: Seven anti-Jewish trends are suppressing Jewish, Israeli and Zionist voices in publishing. DARK STAGE: 65 cases across 41 U.S. locations of Jewish, Israeli and Zionist performers facing protest, harassment and cancellation. Jewish and Israeli artists belong in American cultural life. It’s time for institutions to ensure they remain part of it.
