This photo essay documents a pro-Palestinian demonstration held in Melbourne in September and October 2025, during which several hundred people gathered and marched through the city’s central business district. The event unfolded under a strong police presence, reflecting heightened security concerns and the tensions surrounding public demonstrations on the issue.

The photographs focus on the visual and human dimensions of the rally — crowds moving through urban space, the use of flags and placards, and the presence of families and individuals participating in the march. Rather than emphasizing slogans or political statements alone, the images observe how collective expression takes shape in the public realm.

Presented as part of an ongoing documentary project, this series records the demonstration as it occurred, without staging or intervention, offering a visual account of a moment shaped by political concern, civic participation, and controlled public order.
