Explanation:
La gent no camina amb mitjons sinó que els penja (a casa seva o en un altre lloc) com a forma de reivindicació.

Mitjonada: En un espai públic, es proposa una activitat 100% ciutadana: que la gent expressi i reivindiqui el seu dret a caminar penjant i mostrant els seus mitjons a la resta de ciutadans.
