In 2021 the structures were selected for the @antepavillion 2021 Special Early Summer Commission.. "Our bartizans of tensegrity bamboo towers, or ‘beacons’ as we lovingly call them, were born out of a need to speak truth to power" #Art #TellTheTruth

How many arrests, and how much art has been taken today is yet to be known.
This comes hours after police raided an art workshop and took pink wheelbarrows.
Please rt…
Protest this weekend…
Put in a few quid to help us recover from the raids...
