​TANK UPSIDE DOWN!

We find ourselves in interesting times. The invasion of Ukraine presents us with both an imperative, namely the defeat of Russia, and an opportunity, namely the restoration of peace and the democratic order in Europe..
 

With this message in mind,

TANK UPSIDE DOWN!

seeks to import a destroyed Russian main battle tank, upside down, into the UK, for public display. 
 
Specific Purposes:
 
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!

specifically seeks to use the image of an inverted tank to focus attention on the plight of some 15-20,000 Ukrainian children, abducted from homes, schools and colleges by Russia, now ‘adopted’ by Russian families in Siberia, Mongolia and Manchuria, and to see them restored to their families in Ukraine.
 
Additional General Purposes
(not in order):
 
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
seeks to energise condemnation of the Russian invasion.
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
seeks to ensure that the political will to defeat Russia strengthens.
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
seeks to ensure that the flow of
weapons to Ukraine continues.
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
seeks to ensure the defeat
of Russian expansionism.
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
seeks to demonstrate that sculpture
can be found even in the most
unlikely places.
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
seeks to help end the suffering of the Ukrainian people and see the nation restored to its rightful place as a sovereign state in a free Europe.
 
Partners:
 
TANK UPSIDE DOWN!
will partner with:
UK Childrens’ charities,
Educational charities,
UK Businesses,
and
UK Social enterprises,
as sponsors, to ensure the
realisation of the project.
 
Legacy:
 

we hope that the graphic image of 

TANK UPSIDE DOWN!


will appear everywhere over time, from newspaper cartoons to hot air balloons, from blimps to playground furniture, from children’s art work to bed linen and from lapel badges to T shirts, to symbolise the futility of violently attacking our neighbour.
