Hong Kong’s Lennon Walls of sticky notes have evolved from a single community-generated protest art installation sparked by the Umbrella Movement in 2014 to an outpouring of creativity all over the city during the Anti-Extradition and Pro-Democracy protests of 2019 and 2020. By giving individuals an accessible mechanism to express their political opinions, dissent and solidarity, they further reinforce the values of Hong Kong’s Pro-Democracy movement. While these paper mosaics are being continuously torn down, the ideas instilled in them are far more influential and lasting. This book investigates the history of Lennon Walls from their origins in Prague, to their proliferation as a communication medium across Hong Kong, internationally, and to different grassroots campaigns.
