In another direct action, 17 participants dressed up in orange, hooded costumes—meant to resemble inmate jumpsuits—to represent the 17 detained Uighurs. Together, they walked in rhythm, formed circles at certain points and would then perform interpretive dances.

“It was agonizing to watch because people were so into it,” said Meggie McGuire ’12. “A lot of people stopped and watched.”

In each dance, one person would leave the circle and take off his or her hood. After one such dance, Jacobs approached bystanders and asked them to remove his hood, though most declined or ignored him.

“We were trying to express that [one person] can exert pressure to try to free these people,” Jacobs said.
