The Parade Square
The Archive of Public Protests
The Archive brings together visual traces of social activism, grassroots initiatives opposing not just political decisions but also breaches of democratic norms and human rights. It is a collection of images that constitutesa warning against rising right wing populism and discrimination in the broadest sense of the term: xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny, and also the climate crisis.
In establishing the Archive, its creators wish to prolong the life of their images, which are connected with specific events, and whose existence ends with their publication in the press. The APP gathers together photographs in a single, easily accessible collection, which will remainaccessible to researchers, artists and activists. Additionally, use of the Archive’s resources will be open to all users who express a desire to communicate the values with which its creators identify.
