golden retrievers. 2 natural. 2 2 necessary. 2 normal. 2 2 the next episode of our documentary series, the great debate in 60 minutes on d. w, at these places in europe or smashing all the records, stepped into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you up to record breaking sites on google maps, youtube and now also in book form. ah ah, around the world climate activists have. it's had to works of art for them. the reason is clear. what is walk mold on like i would say is guns ever do?

that's my art. go vandalizing or it doesn't protect the climate. some say the attacks go too far, but they do make headlines. and with that bring awareness. sort of these attacks help the climate cause or are they just to vandalism? of it in any case, i wouldn't say it's an expression of love. this is fine, good to shop. no pending was damaged, but the impact was huge. and so in that respect, could us, the activists, would you activist in class i'm, we won't just lose our livelihood in the climate crisis, but our culture too much with when it comes to fighting for a cause, can you go too far and why is hurt so often targeted to better understand the civil disobedience take

a look at its historical precedence and ask why it is often women who have been willing to break the rules to achieve change. ah, for pussy riot, civil disobedience, political protest and art are inseparable. the russian feminist punk band are known for their powerful and often provocative performances. their current mission is to protest against russian president vladimir putin and his war in ukraine. this joined us to give this concerts and to support your grain. we cannot just go out from this reality because we are from russia pussy riot 1st came to international attention with the performance and moscow's main cathedral in 2012

virgin mary, mother of god, banish putin. they screamed in their punk prayer. it led to outrage in religious circles. the kremlin decided to make an example of the 3 singers. they were sentenced to 2 years in a penal colony. in 2022, maria al kina escaped from house arrest and russia by disguising herself as a career on tour in europe. pussy riot talked about their lives, reality in russia and expressed their contempt for potent we do not exclude bruxism from aught so we don't do just thought we do political actions on political art. and we believe that art should be political. it should be, it should sofa the society as a reflection of this, the arc situation, political situation, art as active ism is one thing. but what about throwing mash potatoes at a clod,

monet painting? is it acceptable to target artworks for a cause as these last generation activists did? people are starving. people are freezing. people are dying when i'm a climate catastrophe. ah, chemically that would the climate crisis won't leave any of our social spheres intact, including culture, right? we don't just do this in museums and we're funny, but they are one of the places were protests should be talked about. test question, mister van ignores continue to take hold here in europe due to a shortage of resources. there simply won't be time to engage with art and culture . the schmidt quechua off nuts was at c o. 2 vest tide of the head of the barbary museum in potsdam does not necessarily agree with the climate activists approach. mm hm. published a viking. it really was violence against art as an art should invite dialogue,

such a violation of boundaries as destructive carport. but it also attracts attention just over a 100 years ago. the suffragettes also targeted art in their fight for boats for women. in 1914, mary richardson slashed the rope b venus by velasquez. it was one of 14 a tags on artworks by the movement. ah suffragettes also chain themselves to railings and protest. while in the us, the activists tended to seek debate. in england they were more radical. they smashed windows, said to letter bombs, and some were even prepared to die for their cause. such as emily davidson, who threw herself in front of the king's horse at the epsom derby in 1913. she died 4 days later. fighting for a cause, no matter the cost, now cannot come and us some good my guns. looking back in history,

you can see what help set the ball rolling. and what might have been a step backward nebraska had been vice flesh still got young brooks. what wound damage crash, and accordingly we've decided not to destroy or deliberately break any artwork would finish. and we decided, no people or bystanders should be involved in that no one should ever be hurt seen as a kind of kind of mentioned. so phillotson climate activists tend to agree that there should be no destruction, no hurting, of people just maximum media coverage. but does it help their cause to throw flour at a car painted by andy warhol? ah, will such actions change people's minds? or just lead to head shaking. ah, as an activist from the global south, i see that accidents lie grad take away. the focus from the actual

problem. and the problem is, the global south is already experiencing the climate crisis. ah, ina maria chicago is a fashion designer in climate activists from namibia. she uses recycled materials for her designs and for political actions. these protest banners against international energy giants, for example, are made from left over fabric. i've always used to say something, no, just make art for the sake of saying it because it doesn't make sense. you know, i believe that artists we are communicators, you know, just like activists. ah, the artist is one of the leading climate activists and a co founder of fridays for future in her country, which has suffered from extreme drought for years. ah, activists are currently focusing their attention on

a canadian oil giant brecon africa, which plans to fret for oil and gas near the o can van go delta, which could become polluted in dry out even more. chicago says the global south, which is already suffering disproportionately from the climate crisis, continues to be exploited. our livelihood written countries of the globe renewals have been shopping for a, for a full, i guess in africa a, using the energy crisis at the moment. the war in ukraine and the energy poverty in africa as a pretext to start it doing gus production in africa. what that means is obviously opening up new gas fans or infuse and also putting the entire carbon budget entry. oh yes. so growing movement. but in the sense where we are more focused on climate education,

food security, and just opening up the conversation because one thing that are for your less, especially from our interactions with the youth in the office is that we don't really have a platform where we can discuss how the climate is really affecting ah, climate change affects the whole world. the global south is most affected. and the most radical activism is taking place in the global north. which raises the question of which forms of protest are justified me under the banner climate action is not a crime more than 1000 artists and people from the industry expressed to solidarity with the art attacks of the last generation. the renowned german art magazine monopole even raised them to its cultural pantheon, listing them at number 19 of the 100 most influential people in the art world of

2022. but is this unwanted advertising for the museums? i could just put a call, the sure you could say that have the unwanted effect of museums, having more visitors losses about the i'm but may be attacking these institutions. and their inertia wasn't so misplaced. asked is a star. so it's no surprise. the reaction has been to increase security net zulu, which i had searched for keyona closing. the handbook who is tyler decided not to increase security, although some works here could be targets. the director is happy to engage with activists which would it is not the city. and i've been asked how i felt about the attacks and i said i could well understand them and that i see the climate debate as highly importantly today. and then we could as a human to fix room and for the activists contacted me in a dialogue developed and we're still talking. it's english flesh visit the homeless

place for the 2022 future exhibition. the koonce tyler organized sustainability workshops with fridays for future. the posters were then used at a rally as resume, come as mine is now, the museum will be glad to be a platform for protests that one to achieve social progress, angling, and one, it seems reasonable to say, museums should be on the pulse of the times and an open space for civil disobedience. they're constantly puzzled in from the art institutions and market always portray themselves as being on the right side hold as progressive, the richest and we're the source in the meal. but in america, for example, the people on the boards of museums are the same. people who, in real life field devices from bugging dissidence up her eyes, often both clear rain forests and create toxic waste warden. it's contradictory. hm . as it has passed, angland, he says,

i'm even new york's metropolitan in guggenheim museums and that paris lou have been accused of double standards. major museums that have also shown nan golden's pieces. the photographer rose to prominence with her pictures, queer new york under ground. intimate an honest snapshots of her friends and her own life in 2018 golden took on the billionaire sackler dynasty worldwide, the most important patron of art institutions. they have been immortalized with inscriptions and their own exhibition halls. but their reputation as donors has been tainted since their per do. pharmaceutical company caused the biggest opioid scandal in the u. s. there painkiller oxycontin drove hundreds of thousands into

addiction and death. golden too was an addict. the documentary, all the beauty and the bloodshed shows her as a woman who scarred by personal struggles, becomes a strong protest. her really to demand that the met museum, the low, the taking refuse donations from the zach was and take down their name. and the message is that tainted money should no longer fund art institutions and it was heard, the guggenheim and other museums have declined further funding from the sellers and removed their names. the campaign was nan golden spurs success as an activist in their coons good to from nancy to could studies many artists like nan golden, follow the money trail and take on corrupt patrons. need somebody and then go there are always scandals that's come. barlow that goes hand in hand with what the last generation once that's going on so they won't change. but change only happens when

institutions change and, and more stuff than just to use of the term among bringing change to art institutions has also been part of the gorilla girls mission since the 1980s. in particular, they want to see more p, o, c, and female artists and museums, and exhibitions. the group became known through illegal pose to campaigns in new york. but to this day, no one knows who was behind the gorilla masks. the group spreads its message everywhere and stands up for their peers with imagination and humour. their posters will be on show in hamburg in march 2023. giddy goes pop quiz. if february is black history month and march is women's history month. what happens the rest of the year discrimination but isn't what's in the lear humor draws people learn how to work is floyd and it is fun to then point

your finger and say that's true. what's going on. and he lost his wife, 90 percent of the art on display by white men july's against the deals. it really makes you want to stand up to these days. gorilla girls are active world wide and open to female collaborators. they have prompted museums and exhibition organizers to think about the representation of women in art which leads to a new question. recently we've been busier than ever. and we've also been faced with kind of a huge dilemma. what do you do when the system you've spent your life attacking suddenly embraces you? traditionally, without a shift about people who have stood up to institutions are now being invited and paid for their work by these institutions. alit alice, but i don't think this detracts from the work but rather attests to its beginning

to work on a structural level. and if not, wilson, brazilian activist kaiser law also exposes structural tangles with her art. her performance against the greed that exploits and destroys the rain forest is called a fix the air suffocation. ah, she full? augusta inquired. it was the place i found for myself own g, or i can be heard that your i become visible because art gives me this place of greater perception with art, we can convey things more sensitively. see if your company, oh no. the indigenous artists home is the amazon. under both scenarios, government, the destruction of the rain forest was sped up. 18 percent of the rain forest is raised. another 7 percent will cause the world's climate to tip. this would impact

every one. but most of all the amazon's indigenous peoples it would last, it isn't, they thought i was born and grew up in a protected territory, although he all toady on their grow. but for those whose land is not protected, it is very bad and they are exposed to violence and displacement. most of your leads to they have no right to their own land there. so i feel the demarcation of indigenous lands as territories as one of the most important tasks t, as in jewish ca, you salvas says it's not only the land of the indigenous people that endangered, but also their culture. until recently, they were living in balance with their natural environment. but that is changing, even if the global north still likes to exhaust a sized them got a young man in man. yoga that in, move the absolute good, and i hope to see indigenous cultural,

respected ads and people maintain their own cultural traditions and not try to fulfill the wishes of non indigenous people. they think that the sheer from fancier delusion through art activism and civil resistance. i use eyes championing indigenous rights and protecting the rain forest in a fight for survival. why is it often women who step up and dedicate their lives to a greater cause grid? a tune berg has become the face of the climate movement. she began calling for school strikes while still in school herself. she is known for speaking truth to power. we say no more, blah, blah blah, doesn't get away anymore. her so called school strike for climate demonstrations gave rise to a new form of civil disobedience sparking the world wide fridays for future movement. to beg became the symbolic figure of a generation that sees its future betrayed by its parents and politics. the world

is waking up and change is coming. what the you like it or not? this is fine to fight. i don't think it's a coincidence that women have somehow become the faces of the current climate movements. and i know as i, they've always played an important role in civil resistance, but unfortunately they've not been seen as such a light on it. then gordon of zoom spies that i don't want to say they've been erased from history since we're still talking about them. just much less than their mil contemporaries who've been idolized order these and that's had gap innovative rebellions led by women can actually be traced back to ancient greece enlist estrada a comedy by aristophanes. the women of athens and sparta joined forces to end. a war waged by men their last resort is a sec strike. and it works. the men eventually make peace to end the peloponnesian

war. ah, this terrible about women's power against male war mongering is a reoccurring theme. in the greek tragedy, antigone, the eponymous protagonist, defies the ruler crayon after he refuses to bury her brother for being traitor to the country, all this little swiss director, me, lo ral transposes, the play to the present in the new production antigone and the amazon. the lead character played by you south, i resist the ruling system fighting for the rights of an indigenous and landless population. done to same city. those will venge forward to us. all governments have been like korean. we've always had to fight to have our rights respected. how does this, ah, pussy riot are also fighting again. they are korean. vladimir putin who is ignoring international law and waging

a war of aggression against ukraine. women in russia have not given up on protesting. blood of women and mothers as well are protesting this war. because the, you know, it's a, the feminine feminist issues are not that far from onto war activism because they're all, these are narrative, militarism, it's all very much a stick on, died very male energy like conquer the world and her occupation. everything with their videos are a plea against this brutal macho militarism bringing suffering and death to so many civilians and soldiers alike. i am. what can civil disobedience really accomplish? and how mahatma gandhi, probably the most famous proponent of civil disobedience led the indian

independence movement. and consistently remained non violent in 1930, the austere passive is to march nearly 400 kilometers to the sea, with his followers to symbolically harvest salt. thousands of indians followed in his foot and thereby violated the british self monopoly. the spectacular non violent uprising is seen as the beginning of the end of british colonial rule. the praxis, the civilians, the practice of civil disobedience, has been around for a long time. even though the term isn't that old. it's often associated with henry david thoreau, with the american writer who refused to pay taxes and protesting, and slavery, and the u. s. war against mexico can given mackarath warsaw somewhere. it's a violation of the law, but a violation justified by moral principles. so not done for one's own benefit or self enrichment known, but precisely on the basis of principles that have to do with democracy. the rule

of law and justice of this card collected could so tune harbor rosa parks is another icon of civil resistance. she was arrested when she, a black woman, refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white person. her defiance had a great impact. after a year among bus driver by the african american population, the law of racial segregation in buses and schools was found to be unconstitutional and repealed in the state of alabama. it was an important victory and the beginning of the u. s. t. a civil rights movement under the leadership of martin luther king . the charismatic speaker defended rosa parks, refusal and promoted civil disobedience as a means of combating segregation in the southern states. the civil rights movement achieved its goals with the abolition of racial segregation and the right to vote for the south's black population. different times,

some might say, but aren't these precisely the role models of the more recent protest movements, whether it's the anti nuclear movement or occupy wall street, it's all about non violent protest. but how does traffic obstruction fit into the picture? because your hands was down, the road blockades are part of the standard to box for civil disobedience east account. unless even germany's federal constitutional court has recognized that something like walking a highway falls under the freedom of assembly school district. thank this point has been a bit lost and the ongoing discussion that assemblies and democratic protests will always have some wrists and annoyances. but that's the price of democracy. agen the super bowl notices the price of democracy a democracy should be able to withstand the various means of civil disobedience, especially when it's not just about local concerns. but global ones like climate change and yet call spar harsh punishments are growing louder. in the u. k.

extinction rebellions actions have already led to restrictions on the right to demonstrate as feed i'm. but now we need more incendiary speech making it clear to people that were in such deep trouble that something has to change. and that is what the and something will change. did that like read a tune, bug, sad changes coming with you like it or not? you like it or not. but what actions will resonate with people? do we need more radical means or more hunting images? like those of the ocean rebellion who point to the dying of fish and pollution of the oceans. or those of the red rebel brigade demonstrating as silent witnesses to the climate catastrophe. like here in berlin, you can get it shipped from them. so we're allowed to demonstrate and we're protected by the state to the freedom of assembly and quantity. and we're allowed to stand here at the brandenburg gate every day and protest against anything. we

don't like linda ne, in many countries, rebels can't do that. they're immediately arrested, killed or disappeared when they try to protect what's there's not so sure. as is the case of russia where the members of pussy riot are not saved due to their radical, an open criticism of the status quo. so is it not important that civil disobedience in all its different manifestations is tolerated in democracies? a europe you're born here all so. thank you. lou. with
