Sasha Huber

The event described is Sasha Huber's 2008 "Rentyhorn" action, part of Hans Fässler's campaign "Démonter Louis Agassiz," which proposed renaming the Swiss peak Agassizhorn after Renty, an enslaved man whom Agassiz had photographed for racist research — highlighting that the famed naturalist was also a leading proponent of scientific racism.
