Hong Kong Pro-democracy Protesters Appear in Mural in #LosAngeles; #HongKongArtist: Idea is bulletproof

Black-clad pro-democracy protestors holding their yellow umbrellas against tear gas grenades and other rounds: The typical protest scene in Hong Kong during 2019 was recreated on a mural in Los Angeles in the United States.

The mural was located in Liberty Sculpture Park in Yermo, a desert town near the Los Angeles county. The project had been planned for 1.5 years, and was in production for nearly a month, before the mural was finally finished on April 10, 2021.

The project was organized by a New York based Hongkongers' organization "#LionRockCafe", and executed by #DamienMitcheel, a New York-based Australian artist.

The mural was named "Come What May". In addition to visualizing the protest scene, the pro-democracy slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times" was written on the two sides.

The designer of the mural, a Hong Kong artist called Divad, chose not to disclose his identity. He shared his idea behind his work through "The Lion Rock Cafe": "Beneath the umbrellas, there is an idea, and the idea is bulletproof."
