"Three frogs, a shark, a unicorn and a
Tyrannosaurus rex dance in front of a
line of heavily armoured police in riot gear.
Over the past few weeks, activists taking part in protests against Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across the United States have donned inflatable
animal costumes. The aim is to disrupt the Trump administration’s claim that
the protests are violent “hate America” rallies.
The result is a sight to behold, with many encounters between police and
protestors going viral.
Whether they know it or not, these costumed activists are contributing to a
rich history of using humour and dress to mobilise against and challenge
power."
