Slovenian artist Maja Smrekar is taking legal action against the unlawful political exploitation of her artwork, used without her consent in a nationwide propaganda campaign by Slovenia’s most dominant far-right party of the past 30 years. This is not merely a case against one artist — it’s a chilling message to all who create boldly and challenge norms through creativity and critical thought.

This is a collective stand for all artists and their right to create freely, without fear of manipulation, censorship, or retaliation. Smrekar’s case is an act of resistance against the political abuse of art.

Join artists and allies around the world in defending artistic freedom and demanding accountability.

Support the legal defense fund:
