Art is of course open to several interpretations, officially there is no fix "program" that says how "Snow White" should be interpreted. The artistic leader of the exhibiton commented Mazel's interpretation as "one possible interpretation of many".
Personally, I would think that the line "blew herself up and murdered 19 innocent civilians" definitely indicates this is not a glorification or justification of her act, but rather a (bad, but still)description of the events that led her to committ this act. I get the feeling that Mazel confuses explanation with justification, here.
However, interpretations may differ, but do you think the installation should have been removed under the Swedish "distribution of rasicsm propaganda" regulations or not?
