Knitted protest
There are similar knitted interventions happening in other cities to, from Sweden to New Zealand. The most common name for it is “Guerilla Knitting”, like Guerilla Gardening, which involves people secretly planting flowers in empty urban spaces. Guerilla Knitting also has a political angle. In Vienna, for example, it is direct protest against the inequality women experience in society.

a "dressed" signifier
(Saussure defined language as a “system of signs that express ideas” and the sign as the basic linguistic unit. The concepts of the signifier and signified were introduced by Saussure, who argued that their relationship was completely arbitrary. In other words, he believed that there was no underlying rationale for using red octagon to symbolize a command to stop at an intersection. He thought such associations developed completely by chance)
