Protest in Defense of Culture, August 12, 2024, Bratislava, Slovakia (part 3).

During the protest, participants expressed their emotions through three symbolic gestures.

😢 Gesture of sorrow: hands placed under the eyes, symbolizing tears, reflecting the grief over the ongoing destruction and silencing of culture in Slovakia. 🫢 Gesture of silence: hand covering the mouth, representing the enforced quieting of voices. 🤝 Gesture of solidarity: holding hands, showing unity against the aggression and arrogance of the current government.
