SOUS LES PAVÉS, LA PLAGE! Acrylic on canvas 29.7 x 42 cm (A3) 2020 . . This Wall Painting was originally made with the Covid-19 lockdown in mind for an upcoming show in London. Recent events in the wake of George Floyd’s murder have taken it in a different direction. . . "Sous les pavés, la plage!" ("Under paving stones, the beach!"), is a slogan from the May 1968 protest movement in France. It was coined by student activist Bernard Cousin, in collaboration with public relations expert Bernard Fritsch. The phrase became a symbol of the events and popular movement during the spring of 1968, when the revolutionary students began to build barricades in the streets of major cities by tearing up street pavement stone. As the first barricades were raised, the students recognized that the stone setts were placed on top of sand. The statement encapsulated the movement's views on urbanization and modern society in both a literal and metaphorical form. (WIKIPEDIA) . .

Riot police and unions clash in Paris in protest against labor law

Protesters throwing planks of wood and Molotov cocktails clashed with Paris police firing tear gas and dispersion grenades on Thursday, as unions staged a last-ditch bid to dismantle a labour law that weakens their powers.

While thousands of union activists marched peacefully through the French capital chanting about workers' rights and capitalist abuses, sporadic violence broke out between helmeted riot police and small groups of protesters.

At least six people were injured and five arrested, according to the Paris police headquarters. Reporters for The Associated Press saw one protester with his face covered in blood and several people hit by police grenade pellets. One officer suffered leg burns after protesters tossed bottles containing flammable liquid at a cluster of riot police.

The protest was part of a day of nationwide labour actions against a law adopted this summer that allows employers more freedom to extend workweeks and lay off staff.

A series of strikes and huge protests against the law earlier this year frustrated tourists, stained France's image and reflected poorly on President Francois Hollande's government.

The government hopes the measures will make France more competitive by encouraging hiring and investment. Unions say it damages hard-won worker rights. (AP)
