Long-held views are often recorded in ephemeral ways
‘Detention is torture’, large colourful sign, held by its two makers, 2015.‘Reclaim Compassion’, part of a series of signs with red hearts – double sided, 2015.
The Palm Sunday rally in Melbourne on 29 March 2015 (and around Australia) saw many marching with homemade signs, likely not to survive much longer than the march. Here is a selection.
Long message printed on canvas and rigged on to a golf umbrella, 2015. ‘Love the children and set them free’, appended to front of a scooter ridden by the artist (colouring in), 2015. ‘Good people standup for the vulnerable’, small sign, no handle, 2015. ‘Close Nauru: hell island’, one of three signs written on cardboard and pegged on a stroller, 2015. ‘Honour Malcolm Fraser’s legacy’, Mr Fraser died about a week ago, large sign, 2015. ‘No tow backs’ sign made using a poster, 2015. End of the march and this sign seems to be going home, maybe for use another day, 2015.
