![The image is a black and white photograph capturing an intense moment between two individuals. One person, presumably a protester, sits on the steps of what appears to be a government building in Wellington, New Zealand. They are wearing glasses and holding American flags draped over their body; one flag is wrapped around them while another holds up high.
The second individual, dressed in dark clothing with distinctive white gloves, leans forward with an expression of concern or curiosity. This person's attire suggests they might be a security officer or law enforcement agent, given the presence of what appears to be part of a badge or identification on their jacket and authoritative stance.
In this photo, tensions seem palpable as if captured mid-sentence in conversation between these two individuals during an anti-Vietnam war protest. The building's architectural details include large columns, indicative of official government structures commonly found across countries like New Zealand.
The photograph is part of a series titled "Notes on the country I live in," suggesting it was taken within Lonneke Ans Westra’s home environment or experiences there. It captures both personal and social elements reflecting broader historical contexts related to activism and civil rights during that era, specifically focusing on anti-Vietnam war protests which were prevalent worldwide from 1964 until the late '70s.
