An art exhibit currently on display at East Tennessee State University features works that focus on “socially and politically engaged” themes, with many depicting extreme left-wing perspectives.

The Fletcher Exhibit, held in remembrance of Fletcher Dyer, a former student who passed away in 2009, invites artists worldwide to submit pieces that align with its global issues theme and is hosted at the ETSU Reece Museum.

Photographs of various art pieces obtained by Campus Reform display images of President-elect Donald Trump alongside swastikas, Hitler, and what appears to be Ku Klux Klan hoods.

One image features House Speaker Mike Johnson, with swastikas transforming into Christian crosses in its background. Another collage combines photos of Trump and various modern conservative figures with images of Hitler, swastikas, KKK members, and antisemitic slogans, including “Jews will not replace us.”

Other works include a painting of Trump’s former Senior Advisor Stephen Miller driving a “Project 2025” truck, accompanied by three members of the KKK. In another piece, an American flag is distorted to take the shape of a KKK hood.

Vice President of ETSU’s Turning Point USA chapter, Connor Vincent told Campus Reform the art featured in the exhibit was “disturbing” and is responsible for “promoting hate.”

Despite controversial views on Trump, Vincent argued that “it is wrong to display anyone as a Nazi or compare them to Hitler when they are far from it,” he said. Vincent said he finds it “disgusting” to see imagery “comparing the cross, which many people on campus hold very dearly to their way of life, to a swastika or symbol of hate.”
