Field notes
The homepage organizes the project around an overview, open letter, press section, action page, and a dated lawsuit timeline. It identifies the disputed material as a photograph from Maja Smrekar’s K-9_topology: Hybrid Family project and records claims for infringement, an injunction, EUR 50,000 in damages, and publication of the judgment. The page also describes the initiative as a support platform for artists facing political persecution, while the extract does not establish the legal case’s outcome.
