Hundreds of protestors marched through Melbourne's CBD on August 24, 2013 to protest against harsh new Australian government and opposition policies on refugees and asylum seekers.
These three police officers stood by while the crowd across the street protested. I don't remember why they were protesting, but I remember there was a good reason.
Supporters of the former Ukrainian Prime Minister and opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko carry a giant banner a with Tymoshenko portrait on it as they shout slogans such as 'Freedom for Yulia!' during a rally in downtown Kiev, Ukraine, 27 April 2012. About 2,000 protesters demanded Ukrainian authorities to release jailed Tymoshenko and to stop political repressions in Ukraine. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych on 26 April had announced said his government would investigate alleged abuse suffered by jailed former Prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, as pressure mounted on Ukraine ahead of a European football tournament

Title: Mini Fashion Protest
Date: September 2011
Location: Somerset House courtyard
Medium: Cross-stitch on cotton
2. This was hung up to provoke people in the fashion industry to think deeply about the ugly side of the fashion industry and not just the beautiful clothes. There is huge inequality in this industry and with the use of sweatshops and the fast-fashion culture, we need to remember to think about whether we helping or harming the world we live in.
3. I chose to make this in cross-stitch on upcycled fabric and in a small size because often small and beautiful creations engage people more deeply than big and brash ones especially when it comes to challenging injustice in the world. It also fits with the fashion industry because of the use of textiles.
4. I'm motivated to be part of the solution to help fulfil the world's potential and not part of the problem. I think the world can be a wonderful place for all if we all thought about our actions and tried to be the change we wish to see in the world.
5. How do you choose your installation sites? Somerset House in London is the beating heart of London Fashion Week in September each year so I thought this Mini Protest Banner would have the most impact there.
6. Anything else you’d like to share with us about your artistic practice? Where do you see yourself going? How do you see your work evolving? Etc.
7. Can you recommend your friends/colleagues/other practitioners in your field, who create work you like or are inspired by? I'm inspired by the work Fine Cell Works does with prisoners, I'm inspired by Miranda July's www.learningtoloveyoumore.com project website. I'm inspired by anyone who uses their talents and passions to make the world a better place and serve others whether thats artists or teachers or anyone else.

A little light entertainment when the march came to a temporary standstill on Cambie Bridge, there were too many of us..
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

Drove out to Protestor Falls, The Channon a while back while I was home visiting my parents. It was started raining quite heavy after I got this shot so I didn't actually get to the falls but I find this shot very serene and relaxing.
I plan to go back and shoot the actual falls again soon!

A protest message written on an idyllic landscape. Anyone like to take a stab at translating it? The scenery on the right of shot looks suspiciously like the heather and glens of Scotland. I don't think China has anything remotely resembling this.
Beijing, China. Medium format.
The protest is directed against excessive lockdown measures. One fears the transition to a totalitarian society. Forced apps, implanted chips, 5G control technology.
These students, protesting high tuition fees, were using the scramble crossing to walk across this intersection diagonally with their banner. Now that's some smart protesting!

Qalandia checkpoint divides Ramallah from Jerusalem. It is a point of regular humiliation for Palestinians.
On Friday 13th May, a protest started gathering at the Checkpoint and the Israeli Army tried to disperse it with tear gas.
People didn't leave, though, and skirmishes carried on throughout the day.
At least five Palestinians were seriously injured.
