Debate about dreadlocks and cultural appropriation in 2022

For a planned appearance at an event on March 25, 2022, in Hannover, Maltzahn received a last-minute cancellation from a local group of Fridays for Future arguing that from an anti-colonial and anti-racist perspective, it was deemed unacceptable for a white person to wear Dreadlocks on stage.

This is seen as cultural appropriation of a symbol of the black civil rights movement. The incident triggered widespread media coverage and critical comments on the disinvitation[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] Maltzahn herself stated that there are currently much more socially relevant issues.[12]
