Taiwan carries the torch for the June 4th movement to commemorate the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen massacre after any form of remembrance was banned in Hong Kong.
Galschiøt created six pieces entitled "Pillar of Shame." One of them, which remembers the pro-democracy protesters killed in Beijing's Tiananmen Square from the small hours of June 3, 1989, to the morning of June 4, had stood at the University of Hong Kong for two decades until the Hong Kong authorities ordered its demolition in December 2021.
With Hong Kong not holding the vigil this year, Taiwan will be the only place in the Chinese-speaking world holding such an event to mark the 33rd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which is also known as the June 4th Incident.
Trigger warning: violence, blood, death

This film by Arthur Kent recounts the June 4, 1989 assault by the People’s Liberation Army on pro-democracy demonstrators in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. Consisting entirely of footage recorded by Kent during the massacre, restored in 4K UHD video, the film follows student protesters as they resist the army’s advance. Featured are the voices and words of the students, and the chilling megaphone decrees of the Communist Party’s martial law authority: leave the square now or suffer the consequences.
