Antonia Wright and Ruben Millares were the winners of the No Vacancy Juror’s Choice Award for their public artwork installed on the beach outside the Faena Hotel during Art Basel/Miami Art Week. Their work is a large-scale sculpture that celebrates people’s right to peacefully protest by using the barricade as a symbol of global resistance. For No Vacancy, the artists recreated the activist gesture from the Pro-Democracy Protests in Hong Kong, where protestors subverted the use of barricades, set out by police, and repurposed them to create an insurgent for their own protection.
