a tiny revolution in protest of refugee children currently in detention in australia

about 190buckets

in 2014, australia was holding 1,023 children in on and offshore detention centres. we don’t know their names, all we have is the numbers.

on 29th august 2014 pvi collective and creative comrades withstood 190 buckets of icy cold river water: one for every child held in detention on nauru. 190 buckets was a durational action aiming to give voice to the remaining 833.
