The artwork “Comfortable Protest” is a “device for members of the opposition” — a unique piece of equipment that can transform into reusable plastic placard or a folding chair. This device is simple and easy to use and includes things that might come in handy during a protest (a balaclava, umbrella, first-aid kit and so on).
