John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s Amsterdam Bed-In ⠀
Against a backdrop of raging war in Vietnam, Ono and Lennon married in 1969, and for their honeymoon, they invited press to their hotel room at the Hilton in Amsterdam where they stayed in bed for a week as a form of non-violent protest against war. The couple took the concept of a sit-in to a new experimental level to become a peace performance, and after another ‘bed-in’ was staged in Montreal, they spread the message ‘War Is Over! If You Want It – Happy Christmas From John and Yoko’ on billboards in 11 major cities around the world.
