We Are Millions Photo Campaign
The photo-gallery campaign We Are Millions aims at displaying the multitude of supports of Assange. It has been turned several times into exhibits.
Anything to say ?
“Anything to say?”, is a life size bronze sculpture, portraying three figures each one standing on a chair. The fourth chair is empty because it is our chair. The one for us to stand up on to express ourselves or simply to stand next to Edward Snowden, Julien Assange and Chelsea Manning, who had the courage to say no to the intrusion of global surveillance and to lies that lead to war. Both loved and hated, they chose to loose the comfort zone of their lives to tell the truth.
