Wear it loud, wear it proud: how marchers for Gaza are bringing ‘protest dressing’ up to date

Far from being a frivolous afterthought, protest dressing has become an important part of these marches.
Watermelons, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity since public displays of the Palestinian flag were outlawed by Israel, hang as earrings or are crocheted into hats.
Protest dressing has long been used as a way to express support for a cause.
But protest dressing in 2025 also comes with limits.
Done right, protest dressing can be a powerful tool for a movement.
