It was done without the prior knowledge or permission of Bristol City Council. (Image: PA)A cardboard placard reading “black lives still matter” was placed at the bottom of the plinth as the sculpture was erected. The stylist, who attended last month's Black Lives Matter protest with her husband, told the Guardian she had secretly been working with Quinn on the ideas for weeks. It is being repaired and will be displayed in a museum along with placards from the Black Lives Matter protest.
