Swedes have gathered in numbers to protest against a Danish "blackface" art show in Malmo, which organizers say is supposed to give "a deeper understanding of discrimination".
The Danish performance invited the public to have their appearance altered by make-up artists. Participants were then invited to walk around in a crowded public space to experience life in someone else’s skin.
However, over 200 Swedes signed a petition that accused the performance of racism and it was removed from the festival.
