Umbrella Revolution Hong Kong 2014 Studio F Gallery in the Tashiro Kaplan Building in Seattle.

I was in Hong Kong staying in Mong Kok area during the Umbrella Revolution. I went down to document the protestors two weeks after the police used tear gas on thousands of citizens demanding the right to elect their own leader without interference from Beijing. On October 17th early in the morning  the police tore down some of the barriers on Nathan Rd in the Mong Kok area  and by mid day the protestors were back in full force to take back the streets that were cleared. By evening over 400 police arrived in Mong Kok to prevent the takeover. Saturday morning the protestors had taken back Nathan Road and Argyle St. I am showing these seven photos  at  Studio F Gallery in the Tashiro Kaplan Building, 312 S Washington St. Seattle, Washington. First Thursday Art Walk.  Come by and say hi and see this exhibit.
