TV Boy Restores Lamine Yamal Superman Mural After Dwarfism-Themed Vandalism

The original artist repainted over Snow White’s seven dwarfs after disability advocates denounced the intervention as mocking Yamal’s dwarfism-themed birthday celebration.

Overview

  • TV Boy removed the added Snow White dwarfs on August 4, repainting the red background to return the mural to its mid-July state.
  • Artist Scheredder’s addition of the seven dwarfs was widely seen as a commentary on Yamal’s 18th-birthday party that featured guests with dwarfism.
  • The Asociación de Personas con Acondroplasia y Otras Displasias Esqueléticas con Enanismo issued a formal condemnation of the altered artwork.
  • Social media buzz had earlier spread false AI-generated images of vandalism, but journalists confirmed the latest defacement was genuine.
  • The Superman-themed mural in Plaza Joanic has become a focal point for debates over public art, representation and disability rights.
