Colston Avenue, Bristol, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 26th April 2025.

About this photographs.

This photograph was taken at the junction of St Augustine’s Parade and Colston Avenue.

Here, a protester climbed onto the top of the plinth that once had the Edward Colston statue, which was pulled down during a Black Lives Matter protest in June 2020.

At that point of time, the protesters’ march was momently halted, I have no idea why, maybe to let the rest of the protesters at the rear catch up, or maybe the front ones were simply preparing for the rest of the way.

That was the reason this protester decided to climb up on the plinth and wave a banner or a flag.

The protest was due to the Scottish Supreme Court ruling that the legal gender is based on the sex at birth, and thus many transgenders all around the United Kingdom carried out a series of protests.

When I found out that there was one in Bristol, I decided to go there and try doing some photojournalism shots.
