ECHO OF RESISTANCE / BLACK LIVES MATTER

On June 10 2020, the historic demonstration ‘Black Lives Matter’ took place in Nelson Mandela Park in the Bijlmer Amsterdam with more than 10,000 people.

The protest signs remained on the Bijlmerplein, as a collective echo of what had taken place.

The signs were photographed and translated directly on location into large screen slides. Through guerrilla large screen light projection we projected the echo of the resistance in the silence of the city. The story of the protest signs became visible at the Bijlmerplein, the Kraaiennest and finally on the Royal Palace Amsterdam in the city center, where initially the protests had taken place. Thanks to a live-stream so many people were involved and interacted where to project.
