Extinction Rebellion ‘message cubes’ displayed in Bristol following police seizure

Giant cubes used by Extinction Rebellion to promote environmental messages have gone on display in Bristol after being seized by the police.

The handmade “message cubes” were installed on College Green on Monday morning (22 June) to highlight wildlife and ecological issues.

Protesters said they will be displayed in different parts of the city all this week after they were released by the Metropolitan Police.

According to Extinction Rebellion, the cubes were seized by officers while they were on display outside the Tate Modern art gallery in London.

The protest group urged members of the public to see the installation before it is moved to another location later this week.
