save the date for the d. w. global media forum 2023 in bonn, germany and increasingly fragmented world with a growing number of voices, digitally amplified and see where this clutter can lead. what we really need, overcoming divisions and a vision for tomorrow's journalism. save the date and join us for this discussion. at the 16th edition of d. w. c. global media forum ah, around the world climate activists. how the tad works of art for them. the reason is clear. what is walk more? 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 the input, in any case, i wouldn't say it's an expression of love. this is primary to shop. no painting 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 art so often targeted to better understand the civil disobedience. we take a look at its historical precedence and ask why it is all and women who have been

willing to break the rules to achieve change. ah 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 joy is to give this concerns 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 courier on tour in europe, pussy riah talked about their lives reality in russia and expressed their contempt for potent ah, we do not exclude bruxism from aught so we don't do just odd, we do political actions and political odds, and we believe that ard should be political. it should be, it should sofa the society as a reflection of this, the arc situation, political situation, art as activism is one thing. but what about throwing mash potatoes at a club donate 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. oh my please. that would. the climate crisis won't leave any of our social spheres intact, including culture. we don't just do this in museums. we're funny, but they are one of the places were protest should be talked about his discretion. mr. van ignores continue to take hold. here in europe are due to a shortage of resources. now there's simply won't be time to engage with art and culture. the schmidt, which we're off nuts was at c o. 2 vest tide of the head of the barbarian. the museum in potsdam does not necessarily agree with the climate activists approach. mm hm. published via gig. it really was violence against art and art should invite dialogue, such a violation of boundaries as destructive caput. 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, sent a 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 can i come and i set some look at my guns, looking back in history. you can see would help set the ball rolling. and what

might have been a step backward, nebraska, hatton vice flesh, still got young brooks, what wound damage question. 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 far. let's 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. so i feel that actions like glad 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, as 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 are 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 recon africa. which plans to fred for oil and gas near the

oaken van go delta, which could become polluted in dry out even more. congo 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 after 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 on. so putting the entire carbon budget address. oh, we are going to 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 loss, especially through my interaction 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 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 unwonted advertising for the museums?

i could just purchased a car from the sure you could say this, have the unwonted effect of museums having more visitors, hawkins about their i'm but may be attacking these institutions and they're inertia wasn't so misplaced off. this is a star. so it's no surprise the reaction has been to increase security. net zulu, which i had serv hockey on closing. ah, the handler 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 it we could as a human defects and for the activists contacted me in a dialogue developed. and we're still talking this english please 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. p as much as you can, as mine is new, as the museum will be glad to be a platform for protests that one to achieve social progress humbling and why 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 who as progressive, the richest and we're the social media. but in america, for example, the people on the boards of museums are the same. people who in real life build devices from bugging dissidence up her us often bought clear rain forests and create toxic waste warden. it's contradictory. as it is past ogden, he says, i'm even new york metropolitan in guggenheim museums and the paris luth. have been

accused of double standards major museums that have also shown nan golden's pieces. the photographer rose to prominence with her pictures from the queer, new york under ground, intimate and honest snapshots of her friends. and her own life. in 2018 golden took on the billionaire sackler dynasty worldwide, the most important hatred 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 oxy canton 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 to refuse donations from the sandwich 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 group to from cedar could study many artists like nan golden fall, the money trail and take on corrupt patrons. need somebody's been and they're always scandals. jessica 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 it was stopped. the industry is that it's on the man 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 poster 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 humor. their posters will be on show in hamburg, and march 2023 guilty goes pop quiz. if february is black history month and march is women history. one. what happens the rest of the year discrimination? that isn't what seems lear humor draws people learn how to how to fight it. and it is fun to then point your finger and say look, that's true. what's going on. and he had also his wife,

90 percent of the art on display by white men. eliza counsellor the deals cuz 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? such an issue about a shift about people who've stood up to institutions are now being invited and paid for their work by these institutions. alit. i wish, but i don't think this detracts on the work, but rather a test to its beginning to work on

a structural level. brazilian activist tie you saw also expose the structural tangles with her art, her performance against the greed that exploits and destroys the rain forest is called a fix the 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, ha, ha, ha, my 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 70 percent will cause the world's climate to tip. this would impact every one, but most of all the amazon's indigenous peoples. it will not be different. they

thought i was born and grew up in a protected territory, although he also deal negro, please. 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 in jewish. ca, gisela 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. wanted even if the global north still likes to exhaust a sized them go to hand when you go study, move the attic good. and i hope to see indigenous cultural respected and people maintain their own cultural traditions and not try to fulfill the wishes of non

indigenous people. they think that the chef on thursday afternoon, jason through art activism and civil resistance, chinese 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?

i dismissed trying 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 about light and 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 meal contemporaries who've been idolized ordered the cindy 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 economists protagonist defies the ruler crayon after he refuses to bury her brother for being traitor to the country will just whist director me. low ral transposes, the play to the present in the new production antigone and the amazon the lead character played by k, you santa, resist the ruling system fighting for the rights of an indigenous and landless population. i change the same city. those will venge forward to us, all governments have been like korean judges. we've always had to fight to have our rights respected. how does the, 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 what other 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 anti war activism because the old, these are narrative, militarism. it's all very much a stick and died. very male energy like conquered the world and a occupation. everything with their videos are a plea against this brutal macho militarism bringing suffering and death to so many civilians and soldiers alike. or 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 as to march nearly 400 kilometers to the sea, with his followers to symbolically harvest salt. thousands of indians followed in his footsteps 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 city on glove of 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 had given mcarthur 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, but precisely on the basis of principles that have to do with democracy. the rule of law and justice of this card directed could. so tune harbor. busy 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 long 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. this 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? call from your cargo. you hands washed on a road. blockades are part of the standard to box for civil disobedience east. a kind of 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 ris and annoyances. but that's the price of democracy. agatha for both 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 calls for harsher 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 not, we need more incendiary speech making it clear to people that were in such deep trouble, that something has to change, and that is supposed to. and something will change. like what a tune bug said, changes coming, what 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 down the ship. i'm sorry, we're allowed to demonstrate and we're protected by the state to the freedom of assembly and policy. we're allowed to stand here at the brandenburg gate every day and protest against anything. you 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 mentorship. as is the case of russia, where the members of pussy riot are not saved due to their radical and open criticism of the status quo. so is it not important that civil disobedience in all its different manifestations is tolerated in democracies? oh, sure. did you rob them here? all so thank you. ah, with

ah a with a pack so punch than has plenty of space. no ford f 150 lightning is a battery, electric horse power monster. we take a look under the hood of this giant e. v. can and live up to its legendary gas power doesn't
