hey mate here is your answer

One of the most common types of protests is a mass gathering, complete with handmade signs calling for change. But sticking to that format can limit the imagination — and activists have had enough of limits.

When it came to protesting in 2015, advocates proved that wherever there's an issue, there's a powerful way to tackle it. Savvy protesters used creativity as a tool to break through the noise, highlighting social and environmental causes in the most eye-catching ways.

While every protest advocating for a just, sensitive and comprehensive issue is attention-worthy, there’s something undoubtedly special about a demonstration that demands to be noticed through innovative imagery.

Check out these efforts that powerfully made an impact this year.

At a June 12 protest in Ankara, Turkey, activists showed solidarity by showing split photographs of student Özgecan Aslan and other Turkish women who were victims of violence. The demonstration fought against the country's culture of violence against women, with outrage ignited by the death of Aslan, who was killed while resisting an attempted rape in February.

On June 26, 50,000 activists in Milan, Italy, took to the streets to call for wider rights for LGBTQ citizens. A sea of signs with the word "Sì" represented the protesters saying "Yes" to equality with one simple, united message.

4. Blood Mirror art protest

In June, artist Jordan Eagles debuted his newest artwork, Blood Mirror — a sculpture made of the blood of nine men who have sex with men. The art piece was made as a statement against the FDA mandated blood ban in the U.S., which stated that any man who had sex with a man since 1977 (the beginning of the AIDS epidemic) was barred from blood donation. The glass sculpture, at a towering seven feet tall, was displayed around the country in 2015 to advocate for the repeal of the discriminatory ban. This photo was taken in Trinity Church in New York City.

The ban on blood donations was reduced on Dec. 21 to require men who have sex with men to abstain from sex for one year in order to donate.

5. Running of the Bulls

Activists painted themselves red, lying down on the streets of Pamplona to call for an end to the historic event, which they claim harms and abuses the bulls involved.

Greenpeace activists created a sun around the Arc de Triomphe, a famous Parisian landmark, during the U.N. Climate Summit in Paris on Dec. 11. Protesters, who had been demonstrating around the city for the 12-day duration of the climate talks, spilled yellow washable paint along the streets using bicycles, allowing passing cars to spread the dye along the streets.

7. Black Lives Matter "die-ins"

For Black Lives Matter protesters, there's power in the rawness and urgency of their message — and unapologetic visbility. Throughout the year, protesters from the movement organized mass "die-ins" across the country to protest police brutality and violence. The particular protest pictured above was especially impactful, taking place in Ferguson, Missouri, on Aug. 9 — the one-year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown.
