Men (of status quo)
Τhe inclination of the body is an attitude of superiority.
The hats symbolize power, sovereignty, but also, oversight bodies within state institutions.
Their clothing is seemingly different, but finally they are all the same, by-products of any system.
They have big ears to hear you.
They have even three eyes to see you.
The bleariness of the rear row indicates their number.
The masks they wear show they could be cruel, inhuman.
The oblique alignment indicates that one of them will revolt!
The parent organization of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery is the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, founded in 1862. It is one of the oldest public arts institutions in the United States. In 1890, Buffalo entrepreneur and philanthropist, John J. Albright, a wealthy Buffalo industrialist, began the construction of the Albright Art Gallery for the Academy. The building was designed by prominent local architect Edward Brodhead Green. It was originally intended to be used as the Fine Arts Pavilion for the Pan-American Exposition in 1901, but delays in its construction caused it to remain uncompleted until 1905.

Sheet lead, lead pipes. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 at F8. It probably means to state the obvious, but let me say it nevertheless: social inequality in my country, the UK, is not just 'happening', it is not 'an accident'. It is actually organised and systemic and institutional. It has been introduced by man. It is not a product of nature.

King's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. The college lies beside the River Cam and faces out onto King's Parade in the center of the city.
King's was founded in 1441 by King Henry VI soon after he had founded its sister institution at Eton College. Initially, King's accepted only students from Eton College. However, the king's plans for King's College were disrupted by the Wars of the Roses and the resultant scarcity of funds, and then his eventual deposition. Little progress was made on the project until 1508, when King Henry VII began to take an interest in the college, probably as a political move to legitimize his new position. The building of the college's chapel, begun in 1446, was finished in 1544 during the reign of Henry VIII.
The institution of royalty with its "god-given" privileges is not the only feature of government that is in conflict with the ethos of democracy in the UK. Fuji X-Pro3 with a bit of sharp editing.

L’observatoire de la ville a été commandé par l’Astronomical Institution (fondée en 1812).

Excerpt from www.hkpm.org.hk/en/about/about-us:
The Hong Kong Palace Museum aspires to become one of the world’s leading cultural institutions committed to the study and appreciation of Chinese art and culture, while advancing dialogue among world civilisations through international partnerships. The Museum is a collaborative project between the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority and the Palace Museum, which is funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust with a donation of HK$3.5 billion for its establishment, as well as some of the annual exhibitions and education programmes in 2023-2031.
Embracing new curatorial approaches, the Museum offers a Hong Kong perspective and a global vision, presenting the finest objects from the Palace Museum and other important cultural institutions around the world. Through innovative research and travelling exhibitions, as well as educational, cultural, and professional exchange programmes, the Museum builds international partnerships and helps position Hong Kong as a hub for art and cultural exchanges between the Mainland China and the rest of the world. As a world-class institution, the Museum is, at heart, a cultural resource that belongs to the community of Hong Kong. And as a dynamic platform, it inspires community engagement, fosters dialogue and partnerships, and promotes creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration.

I believe that there institutions within a community which stand for the spirit and heart of that community, there's the church, the local football team, and the local pub. I could be a while *burp* sorry!!
