There is no end to the anti-Semitic images and scandals in connection with the Documenta15.
Despite all the warnings ahead of time, everything was wrong with this Documenta from the beginning to end: the scandal surrounding the curators and the large banner called "People's Justice" by the Indonesian artists' collective Taring Padi; the hired “experts” with connections and favoritism for BDS and the Hezbollah; now the caricature cartoons in the "Archives of Women's Struggle in Algeria”, which clearly uses anti-Jewish clichés; not to mention the pictures by the Palestinian artists' collective "The Question of Funding".
Israeli artists were not even invited, which is a scandal in itself. And the resignation by the general director, which took far too long and way too much back and forth, has been absolutely insufficient; and the appointment of a new (interim) director, who immediately stated that there would be no more investigations into antisemitic imagery, only adds to the mountain of irreparable damage.
There has been no interest in coming to terms with the antisemitic scandals surrounding the Documenta15. And politics has failed every step of the way.
Enough is enough! We demand the immediate closure of Documenta15.
