		We, the undersigned artists, are dismayed at the decision by the Canadian Museum of Civilization to terminate the contract of Dr. Aida Kaouk, curator of the important exhibition "The Lands Within Me: Expressions by Canadian Artists of Arab Origin", and to close entirely the Museum's Southwest Asian and Middle East program.
		We feel both acts are extensions of the Museum's controversial decision in 2001, under its president Victor Rabinovitch, to postpone the exhibition of "The lands Within Me" following the events of September 11.
		The museum justifies its decision to close the Southwest Asian/Middle East program on the grounds of "get[ting] out of ethnic categorizations," yet other programs, such as Southeast Asia or Southwest Europe, are exempt from this closure.
