PILLAR OF SHAME
- A Memorial for Tiananmen
This original sculpture has been mounted to perpetuate the memory of the massacre that took place in Beijing on 4th June 1989. The Tiananmen movement that was so violently
suppressed was fighting for the basic human right of freedom of expression, and for the right to participate in the decision-making processes affecting the future of its own country.
We honour the memory of those whose peaceful protests were crushed by soldiers and tanks. May they never be forgotten.
