ISLAND OF THE GODDESS OF DEMOCRACY

HENRY WEI LEUNG

On September 28, 2014, Hong Kong riot police fired tear gas at peaceful protesters led by university students. They had nothing but umbrellas with which to defend themselves.

 

This commenced a two-and-a-half month Occupy campaign, during which the bronze Goddess of Democracy replica, raised in 2010 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong,

was hooded with a garbage bag.
