Darfurnica

I read a strange and awful story - yet a bit amusing, about the painter Nadia Plesner. She has been sued twice now by Luis Vuitton for including one of their hand bags in a painting she made.

The painting is called Darfurnica (as Nadia Plesner claims it is a modern version of Pablo Picasso's Guernica).

The image of the child with the hand bag has been used as a part of Nadia Plesner´s work with Darfur She has used the money raised from selling t-shirts with that image and has initiated shipments of medical help to Darfur.

You can read more about it and support the project here: www.nadiaplesnerfoundation.org

For the full story please go to Nadia Plesner´s blog post. In the same post Nadia Plesner asks for everyones financial aid to defend herself.

I strongly urge you to support Nadia Plesner.
