Pro-democracy fights carry on in the form of public art

Local artist, Giraffe Leung Lok Hei, rolled out a public art event, Paper Over the Cracks.

Using yellow adhesive tape, Leung framed the markings of slogans and phrases written by protestors on street corners and added small tags to introduce each “art piece”, just like the display of any contemporary masterpiece at an art gallery

Leung made a territory-wide invitation for all HongKongers to take part and create “art pieces” with him. Leung explained, “it requires no particular skills. You need only tape, pen and paper.” He continued, “actually the society is full of anomalies , we shouldn’t let ourselves get numbed."

Leung called on the public to post their own “art pieces” online using hashtags like #粉飾太平香港 or #paperoverthecracks to
collate their artworks and share their feelings.

#Ode to Hong Kong Pro-democracy Movement

The video is a visual and audio poetry produced by the pro-democracy Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (#HKCTU) on the second anniversary of the population's fight for democracy in June 2021,

The music video captures many objects representative of events that took place over the course of the 2019 #AntiELAB movement.

The #lyrics of the #song go:

"I light up the madman's candle
And follow the ants into the crowd,
There is nothing recognizable in the scenery anymore,
But it all feels familiar.

None of this will fade away,
Though footsteps crush each name into dust,
Let the song that flows across the eons
Befriend the souls not yet laid to rest.

Let the moth visit this burning heart

For a moment I remember who I was,
For a moment I remember.

To all who have persevered to this day."
