“Jan Fabre is a shame”: Italian academy cancels honorary doctorate for Flemish artist after protest action

Jan Fabre was supposed to receive this next week, but there were protests against the presentation because of his conviction in our country for sexual assault and sexually undesirable behavior in the workplace.
