This is What Democracy Looks Like
A Photographic Protest in Two Symbolic Acts
The photographs that appear in this group have also been emailed by demonstrators to members of the coalition cabinet.
Through this act, we aim to confront the politicians responsible for the cuts with an image of the growing number that oppose them. We will do this not through the biased depiction of violence within the mainstream media, but through the lenses of the citizens whom politicians are appointed to serve.
For a list of key coalition cabinet members' email addresses go to www.thisiswhatdemocracylookslike.org.uk.
This is what democracy looks like is an effort to use photographs of the March 26 demonstration as a means of continuing the campaign against governments cuts to public spending
A Photographic Protest
Owing to the cheapness and pervasiveness of digital photography, these protests have the potential to be among the most photographed in history. Existing as data on computers and phones, the pictures can be straightforwardly distributed and shared. We aim to put these photographs to use, as a means of furthering the campaign against the cuts.
ACT 1: EMAIL YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DEMONSTRATION TO COALITION MPS.
ACT 2: REQUEST ACCESS TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DEMONSTRATION MADE BY POLICE SURVEILLANCE TEAMS.
