Portrait of a Protest: Theft, Power, and the Politics of Display

Reclaiming the Story

Museums don’t just preserve history, they protect the power of the few. Every portrait they glorify, every truth they bury, is a reminder of who they think deserves to be remembered.

But the real power has never lived inside museum walls.
It lives with the people, with those who have been silenced, displaced, erased, and yet still rise.

We don’t need permission to reclaim our history.
We don’t need institutions to validate our stories.

Together, we can tear down the false idols, lift up the voices they tried to silence, and rebuild a history that belongs to everyone, not just the powerful.

History is not theirs to keep.
It’s ours to take back.
