I'm going to start collecting threads on HK protest art in one place. Easier to walk down memory lane, even if they be filled with tears and teargas.
Having these in many places mean the images are harder to erase. And harder to forget.

It really says something about the breakdown of trust in official institutions over the past few years that the HK government has arrested a whole bunch of people including the directors of the construction company for manslaughter and the general mood is still “this is not real justice”
