Umbrella Movement – ribbons at night
Starting a series of unused cards that came out during Hong Kong’s 2014 demonstrations against a political reform proposal that would have changed the way Hong Kong’s Chief Executive was elected. Occasionally violent, often confusing, always colourful and noisy, the demonstration ended after 70+ days and the proposal was eventually defeated in 2015, though it’s doubtful that happened because of these demonstrations. The cards show various scenes around the city, with yellow umbrellas being one of the iconic symbols. All cards have the same design (yellow ribbon logo and more umbrellas) on the reverse. All are Grade: 1
