I happened upon a political protest yesterday. On the square, Gustav Adolfs torg outside the Foreign Office at Arvfurstens palats. It was a Kurdish group, protesting against Turkish aggression in Kurdistan. Here, an artist is painting a portrait of Gulperin Ata, a 22-year-old woman said to have been killed by chemical weapons used by the Turkish regime. At the same time, Gulperin's uncle is demonstrating in The Hague.

Very sad that the model is no longer under us. But a nice portret of artist and model.
May the victims not be forgotten.
Why am I not surprised about Turkey?
It is a nice image, made more impactful by the backstory.
An interesting way to protest.
