Note that I also contributed to this article, but you don't have to credit me if you don't want. It was moved to mainspace on 28 November 2014, but at least it counts as new. --George Ho (talk) 00:32, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I have checked the following, as per DYK criteria: Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 16:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

New -- YES, moved from sandbox as of date posted on DYK, qualifies as new article.
Length -- YES, long enough.
Cited Hooks -- YES, I've confirmed that all the hooks shown above can be supported by relevant citations in the text. (I slightly modified a sentence in the article and added a citation of a BBC article that mentions the size of the road, so that the original hook and ALT3 would be acceptable.)
Verifiability -- YES, extensively sourced, includes a variety of reputable sources
Copyright -- There are about 70 cited sources; I've done an automated check on 6 or 8 semi-randomly chosen sources, usually ones which were cited repeatedly, without seeing any significant problems. Some appropriate use of quotations from sources does occur, which is fine.
NPOV -- YES, discusses a wide variety of artistic activity & responses which were related to political events, but reports viewpoints & actions without making judgments of value about them.
QPQ -- YES
