Umbrella Uprising
Protest arts archival project started by Jeffrey Choy, along with a team of London-based artists and activists. It aims to preserve and record artworks created throughout the Hong Kong Protests which started in June 2019., for the first 100 days of protests.
‘Umbrella Uprising: A Visual Documentation of the 2019 Hong Kong Protests’ was created to record this historical period through showcasing numerous artworks. It was crowdfunded on Kickstarter in 2020, partnering up with
distribution partnerships such as Marston Book which connects the project with bookstores like Waterstones and Foyles. The book was sold for 7000+ copies.
The profits are used to fund the remaining stages of this ongoing project, which includes: further developing and organising future artworks in order to support Hong Kong pro-democracy movement.
As
distribution partnerships
ends, sales slows down, and we closed down the book’s website, there are a limited number of Umbrella Uprising left, if you would like to place an order please email
umbrella@jeffreychoy.art.
The book is priced at £18-20, subject to shipping cost.
