Students protesting outside the Rheinland State Parliment building in Dusseldorf. They don't agree with the proposed fees for their higher education - a total of £900 per year (hundred, not thousand)!
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.

Hard times in Israel
Homophobia, racism, hatred.
We went last night to show some love.
We hope to be good.
זמנים קשים בישראל
הומופוביה, גזענות, שנאה.
יצאנו אתמול בערב להפגין קצת אהבה.
נקוה שיהיה טוב.

'Million Women Rise' march on International Women's Day - London 09.03.2013
Around three thousand women marched through central London on 9th March 2013 as part of the many International Women's Month events taking place globally, with a special emphasis on drawing public attention to all forms of violence against women by men, the gratuitous objectification of women as mere sex objects, and the sexist glass-ceiling which prevents millions of women in the worldwide workplace from achieving their full potential.
The protesters formed-up outside Selfridges store on Oxford Street - a historically significant building in the 19th century for the more militant London chapters of the Suffragette Movement - the high-spirited, noisy crowd marched down Oxford Street, then down Wardour Street and on to Trafalgar Square where the crowd listened to impassioned speeches from representatives of organisations which help women who are subjected to violence at the hands of men.
Groups taking part were: MIllion Women Rise, Southall Black Sisters, Goldsmiths Feminist Society, Birkbeck Women, Birmingham Freedom Project, Birmingham & Solihull Women's Aid, No More Page 3, Feminists Rise, National Sudanese Women Alliance, Newham Asian Women's Project, South London YMCA, Cambridge Women's Aid, Shoreditch Sisters, Socialist Women's Union, Kixa Women, Women in Black, Nordic Model Advocates, Sisters of Frida, object.org.uk patriarchy.com VODM Unison AMBE NSWA NorMaS and QIMEC.

MDP protest against dismantling of Rally point 29.05.2012
Protest against dismantling of Usfasngandu & calling end to the coup government
protest against denial of freedom of assembly & coup government
Peaceful protesters have ensured that today’s demonstration organised by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has passed off without any major incidents.
Officers estimate that about 35,000 protesters took to the streets of Manchester city centre, today, Sunday 2 October 2011. No arrests were made.
The event started with a march that left Liverpool Road, and included two ‘feeder marches', organised by separate groups, which left from Oxford Road and Fire Station Square in Salford respectively, and joined the main congregation for the march.
The demonstration then went along Deansgate, John Dalton Street, Princess Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street, Hall Street, Bale Street and then arrived for a rally at No 1 First St.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "Organisers of the demonstration made it clear that it was their intention is to demonstrate peacefully, as is their democratic right, and this is exactly what happened.
“We are grateful to those protesters who co-operated fully with the police.
“We are now working hard to ensure that all users of Manchester city centre are able to get back to normal business, albeit while the Conservative Party Annual Conference and its security demands continue.
"We have worked closely with partner agencies, including those who represent local businesses, and we fully understand their desire to ensure that the city can keep moving. I believe we achieved this as far as is reasonably possible today.
“As we estimate that 35,000 people attended, and that their march covered significant parts of the city centre, we did require a significant police presence, in the interests of public safety and protecting the city. A policing presence, albeit scaled down, will remain into the evening.
“We are now focused on delivering the highest standards of security for all involved and affected by the conference, which continues this week.
"Manchester is privileged to host the conference and the event is good for the city.”

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.
