The group Brick X Brick joined the over 500,000 protesters gathered on the National Mall for the Women's March on Washington D.C., and several million more assembled in cities around the country and the world to rebuke President Donald Trump on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017, the day following his inauguration. According to their website "Brick x Brick is a public art performance that builds human 'walls' against misogyny. During the wall performances, participants wear brick-patterned jumpsuits adorned with colorful brick patches bearing statements of misogynistic violence made by President-elect Trump and members of his administration. Placing divisive words on the jumpsuits is a symbol of our resistance and determination to maintain control over our bodies. Linking hands to form community walls of individuals further blocks and subverts the messages that subjugate women. When standing in wall formation, we hold silent space that amplifies our message and builds unity through passive participation with the audience." (Photo by Jeff Malet)
