“At least 13 Irish artists have withdrawn from a photography exhibition being held in #Berlin, in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their supporters who have faced an unprecedented German crackdown on their right to protest against Israel.”
“But after some of the artists withdrew, the Berlin exhibition organisers decided to completely erase any mention of their work. The organisers also did not publicly disclose the reason why the artists refused to participate.”
“[one of the artists Mark] Curran draws a comparison between the current political climate of #Germany and the situation in the 1930s when Nazi fascism was taking over the country.”
