The atmosphere was very emotional and I received hugs for being "non British" ...  I had a conversation with Rikky Thomas Martinez (from Mas Y Mas band) who has always been singing and busking for peace, freedom and equality and we decided we needed to express our protest as artists. I produced and displayed these banners at a Mas Y Mas performance at Nottingham Contemporary.
