Visual framing: the use of COVID-19 in the mobilization of Hong Kong protest/ Katherine Whitworth and Yao-Tai Li - 2023

This study focuses on the Hong Kong Lennon Walls and the communications posted there. We assert that the physical placement of COVID-19 related images on the Lennon Walls of Hong Kong and the replication of symbols and iconography from the Umbrella Movement and the Anti-ELAB Movement situated COVID-19 discourse not only physically within but also symbolically within the contentious politics of Hong Kong.
