Go to any of the following:

• Russian embassy, consulate, or cultural center

• Russian propaganda hubs like Russia Today (RT) offices

Decide how you want to appear:

• Solo or in a group

• Masked, blurred face, or clearly visible — your choice

• With signs, Ukrainian flags, embroidery, paint, or plain clothes

• Stand facing the building, sign, or symbol

• Flip the middle finger toward the institution

• Make sure the Russian flag, nameplate, or building sign is clearly visible in the frame

• Keep it sharp and well-lit (use natural light if possible)

Focus on clarity of gesture and location

• Use a smartphone, camera, or tripod

• Ask a friend to take it or use a timer/selfie mode

• Landscape or portrait — both work

Take a few versions to choose from later

You can submit a photo — or go further and add a short video of your action.

As artists and citizens taking part in a peaceful protest, it’s critical that we remain respectful of local laws and protect ourselves and others.

This is a symbolic action, not an illegal one — but depending on your country’s laws and political climate, caution is essential. We want you to raise your voice without putting yourself at risk.

DO:

• Stay in public spaces. Sidewalks, parks, and areas accessible to all are the best choice. Do not enter embassy property or restricted zones — this could be considered trespassing.

• Keep your action peaceful and non-violent. No vandalism, aggression, or physical confrontation.

• Use a mask, costume, or blur your face in your photo if you are concerned about being identified — especially in countries with repressive regimes.

• Research local laws. Know your rights around public assembly and photography in your country.

• Make sure the Russian flag, sign, or institutional marker is visible — this ensures your message is clear, even without words.

AVOID:

• Entering embassy grounds or restricted zones — even if it looks empty.

• Provoking police or security — your safety is more important than the perfect shot.

• Wearing offensive or threatening symbols that may violate hate speech laws (stay sharp, not hateful).

• As the artist organizing this project, I want to be on the right side of both history and international law.

This is a global peaceful protest and artistic intervention — not an incitement to violence or illegal activity.

Your voice matters. Your safety matters more. Make your stand — smart, safe, and powerful.

Not at all. This is open to everyone who supports truth, justice, and Ukraine.

It’s up to you. You can go solo, or bring friends, family, or your community. Group shots are powerful — but so is one clear voice.

Just your phone or camera. You can also bring signs, flags, or wear clothing that reflects your support. Creativity is welcome.

Always respect local laws and regulations. You are not required to enter private or restricted property. Stay on public ground, avoid vandalism or confrontation, and make sure you don’t block entrances or violate protest laws.

• In some countries, showing the middle finger may be considered offensive or even illegal. Use your judgment. You can always use visual metaphors or subtle gestures if needed.

• Stay safe. Bring a friend if you’re unsure. Avoid escalation or engagement with hostile individuals.

• Our goal is visibility — not conflict. We want artistic protest, not arrests.

Yes. You can blur your face, wear a mask, or photograph just your hand. What matters is the gesture and the message.

You can also go to Russian consulates, propaganda outlets (like RT), state institutions or symbols.

Your photos will be published on the Instagram page @kurtmodernart, website and later will become part of an international online and offline exhibition.
