Quote from a message printed on the inside of 9000 masks

“Those in authority fear the mask for their power partly resides in identifying, stamping and cataloguing: in knowing who you are…our masks are not to conceal our identity but to reveal it…Today we shall give this resistance a face; for by putting on our masks we reveal our unity; and by raising our voices in the street together, we speak our anger at the facelessness of power…”

–from a message printed on the inside of 9000 masks distributed at the June 18th, 1999 Carnival Against Capital which destroyed the financial district of central London bridge.
