Tokyo Olympics next month during a pandemic. </span> <span data-start-time='8771' data-end-time='15333'>However, public protests to show such dissent have been rare.</span> <span data-start-time='15333' data-end-time='22542'>A different way people have expressed their concern about the Olympics has been art. </span> <span data-start-time='22542' data-end-time='30146'>They have protested through messages on clothing, paintings and other art forms.</span> <span data-start-time='30146' data-end-time='39708'>In some cases, officials have demanded the sometimes satiric art and other products be removed. </span> <span data-start-time='39708' data-end-time='44833'>Artists say their freedoms are being taken.</span> <span data-start-time='44833' data-end-time='49292'>Miwako Sakauchi is among them. </span> <span data-start-time='49292' data-end-time='57938'>On this day, she stands in her workroom and paints on torn cardboard and drawing paper. </span> <span data-start-time='57938' data-end-time='64375'>She uses the five colors that represent the modern Olympics.</span> <span data-start-time='64375' data-end-time='69875'>Sakauchi calls the series of paintings, Vortex. </span> <span data-start-time='69875' data-end-time='82333'>She said they express what she called the, “anger, fear, sense of contradiction and state violence” over Olympics preparations. </span> <span data-start-time='82333' data-end-time='92563'>People have been forced from their homes and trees have been cut down to build huge sports centers for the games, she said.</span> <span data-start-time='92563' data-end-time='99896'>“I can’t think of it as a ‘festival of peace’ in this situation,” Sakauchi said. </span> <span data-start-time='99896' data-end-time='103042'>“It’s totally nonsensical.”</span> <span data-start-time='103042' data-end-time='112229'>The risk of infection from the virus may have prevented some people from taking to the streets to protest. </span> <span data-start-time='112229' data-end-time='120479'>Recent public protests in Japan have been small, with crowds of less than 100 people.</span> <span data-start-time='120479' data-end-time='133333'>Sakauchi created the paintings after she was contacted by a group of artists who organized an anti-Olympics art event last summer. </span> <span data-start-time='133333' data-end-time='138438'>Her works were shown in another event in February.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
