Hong Kong protesters turn airport into art workshop

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that using an x-acto knife, Winnie Wat cuts strips of masking tape and pastes them onto the terminal floor of Hong Kong's international airport, where hundreds of pro-democracy protesters are holding a three-day sit-in.

"We are all witnesses," said Wat, who's in her 30s. Scattered around her, other black-clad protesters cut stickers, assemble posters, paint illustrations and create graphic designs on their computers.

"Everyone is doing what they can do. There is no one [in control]," she said. When it comes to promotional materials for the protests, creation and contribution is completely egalitariang Kong protest promo materials is as leaderless as the movement.
