This is no art street performance

I took this two shots with my Yashica T3 during 2006 when i was on my way to the Shanghai Museum in summer. It was in the late afternoon, there was a lot of people crossing the busy streets around Nanjing Road, People's Square and Xizang Road. This old lasy sat down near a cross junction attracting lots of attention from passer-bys. She was not performing or basking. She was apparently outcrying to the public for some wrongs done to her, seeking justice and attention. There were a couple of street police and traffic police trying to clear the crowd. I took the shots quickly and left.

Notice the passer-bys, they were curious as well as dumbfounded of the situation. Some tried to look at what was written on pieces of clothes that the old lady dressed herself with. I did not get the chance to read what was written or take a picture of the content.

China CCTV currently is reaching out their hands in telling the social issues happening around in China. You can access the website here. The content is in Chinese and Mandrin. The english version can be accessed here.
