The Stone Wall Cafe
Kyoto
For more than 50 years, students at Kyoto University have posted signs on this wall to promote student activities, protest university and government policies and raise their voices in a society where a raised voice is an affront. So when the university announced plans to raze the wall and put in a new entrance to the school, students rebelled. They erected a towering platform, opened what they call the Stone Wall Cafe and began proselytizing to anyone who will stop and listen.
