Awesome Dioramas of San Francisco Street Protests

Much has been written about the recent street protests surrounding the corporate tech shuttle buses. But we haven't had much in the way of visual responses. I love these dioramas from the local artist team Colleen Flaherty and Matteo Bittanti, who work under the name COLL.EO. These tiny figurines are set into scenes around the Mission and Mid-Market as part of the duo's "The Streetviews of San Francisco" collection, and give an artist's view of the civil friction in this city, both creatively and through the select quotes used to annotate the work. Regardless of where you land in the shuttle discussion, these dioramas are pretty awesome.
