Extinction Rebellion Red Brigade

[BPA2021-068]

During the Greta Thunberg march that took place through the city I noticed a small group of brightly dressed people walking in the opposite direction. I was stunned by their presence and larva like outfits floating across the street. I now know them as the Extinction Rebellion Red Brigade and they have been present in cities all over the country. A true piece of ensemble theatre parading over the cobbles walking with intent. It was actually hard to take photographs as I was quite transfixed by their makeup and costumes and the stoney facial expressions. I love experiences such as this that really push you to work for your photograph and combat your inner curiosity to merely observe.
