Thirteen members of the New York City Council are calling on the City Parks Foundation to reinstate the canceled SummerStage performances of R&B singer Kehlani and rapper Noname, denouncing the cancellations as a “blatant act of artistic censorship.”
In a letter sent to foundation leaders on Tuesday, Council Members Tiffany Cabán and Dr. Nantasha Williams, joined by 11 colleagues, condemned the cancellations of “Pride with Kehlani” and “Juneteenth with Noname / Ravyn Lenae / Fana Hues,” linking them to the artists’ criticism of the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza.
