Protest gegen eine Kunstausstellung in Dresden

An exhibition by Dresden-based artist Holger John at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (HfBK) in Dresden has been met with protests from students. Before the opening on April 30, the exhibition banner was cut and a gate was repeatedly blocked with locks. Students are calling for the show to be closed, not because of John's artwork, but because of his association with musician Till Lindemann, who faced serious allegations in 2023 (later dropped by prosecutors). John denies any wrongdoing and says the protests are damaging his reputation. The university has filed a criminal complaint against unknown persons and increased security, while also attempting to open a dialogue with the student council.
