Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The museum entrance is the proximate objective visible beyond the footbridge: it frames why the sweep is happening — to deny access and protect the site — and sets up a looming confrontation over control of this threshold.
Anticipatory and defensive; the entrance is a silent prize under imminent protection.
Objective / access point to be secured and denied to intruders.
Represents contested custody of cultural and political assets between local power and occupying forces.

Antagonist entry point and staging ground for suppressive fire.
Represents the invasion of militarized power into a civilian, cultural space.
Normally open to authorized visitors; now dominated by armed forces and closed to escape.
