or a around the world climate activists have attacked works of art for them. the reason is clear as well or i would say is does ever do this might not provide 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 vandalism? in any case, i wouldn't say it's an expression of love. no painting was damaged, but the impact was huge. so in that respect, could us the activist sideline, we won't just lose our livelihood in the climate crisis,

but our culture to the 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 precedents and has why it is often women who have been willing to break the rules to achieve change. the for puts the riot civil disobedience, political protests and art are inseparable. the russian feminist punk band are known for their powerful and austin, provocative performances or their current mission is to protest against russian

president vladimir putin and his war and ukraine. this joy to give this concerts and to support your brain. we cannot just go out to the strategy because we have from russia, fussy, riot source came to international attention with the performance in moscow main to, to drill in 2012 virgin mary mother of god. banish qu, they screamed in their punk prayer, is led to outrage in religious circles. the kremlin decided to make an example of the 3 seniors. they were sentenced to 2 years in a penal colony. in 2022, maria o yo 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 express their contempt for truth. we

do not exclude from quote, so we don't do just we do political actions and political art and we believe that our should be political. it should be, it should says, the society as a reflection of the situation, police was sufficient part as activism is one thing. so what about throwing mash potatoes that a cloud mode, a painting? is it acceptable to target artworks for a cause as these last generation activists that people are starving. people are freezing. people are dying when a climate catastrophe. to come back to visit the time at crisis won't leave any of our social spears intact, including culture. we don't just do this in museums and we're funny, but there are one of the places where protest would be talked about test question. mister then 50 wars continue to take hold here in europe due to

a shortage of resources. now there's simply won't be time to engage with our in culture schmidt, which was awesome. that's, that's oh lou. this tied to the head of the barbara reading museum and potsdam does not necessarily agree with the climate activists approach. yes please provide, gave me it really was violence against our service. and parts should invite dialogue. such a violation of boundaries is destructive caput, but it also attracts attention just over a 100 years ago. the suffragettes also targeted art in their fight for votes for women. in 1914, mary richardson slashed the rope dizziness by velasquez. it was one of 14 attacks on ard works by the movement. the suffragettes also change themselves to railings in protest. while in the us, the active as 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, nothing, i'm coming to get some good guns. looking back in history, you can see what help set the ball rolling and what might have been a step backwards nebraska testing by special got yeah, in groups with my own demons. question. and accordingly, we've decided not to destroy or deliberately break any artwork. won't finish. and we decided new people or bystanders should be involved in that no one should ever be hurt, seen as a kind of kind of mentioned. so products, 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 drop flour

at a car painted by andy warhol, the bulls such actions change people's minds were just lead to head shaking the as an activist from the global. so i feel that actions like that take away the focus from the actual problem. and the problem is the global solved is already experiencing the climate crisis. nina maria chicago is a fashion designer in climate activists from the maybe a. she uses recycled materials for her designs and for political actions. these protests, banners against international energy giants, for example, are made from left over fabric. i've always used to say something just to make hard for the sake of saying it because it doesn't make sense

. you know, i believe that access to be communicators, you know, dislike active is a artist is one of the leading climate activists and a co founder of fridays for future in her country, which is separate from extreme drought for years. the activists are currently focusing their attention on a canadian oil giant recon africa, which plans to fact for oil and gas near the arkansas and go delta, which could become polluted and dry out even more. congo says the global south, which is already suffering disproportionately from the climate crisis, continues to be exploited and the countries of the globe are no. i have been shopping for after a full, i guess, in africa using the energy crisis at the moment. the war in ukraine and the energy poverty in africa as

a pretext to start doing gas production in africa. what that means is obviously opening up new gas chains or infuse and also putting the entire carbon budget interest. yeah, so green movement. but in this sense, where we are more focused on climate education of food security and just opening up the conversation because one thing that are for us, especially the through my interactions with the use and the offer is that we don't really have a platform where we can discuss how the climate is really affecting as climate change effects the whole world, the global self is most affected. and the most radical activism is taking place on the global north. which raises the question of which forms of protest are justified

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 renown german art magazine mono pole even raised them to its cultural tempe on listing them at number 19 of the 100 most influential people in the art world of 20. 22 is this unwanted advertising for the museums occurring just purchased a car from the sure you can say this have the unwanted effect of museums having more visitors offices of the up it may be attacking these institutions in the nursery. it wasn't so misplaced. all of these is a stop. it's a no surprise. the reaction has been to increase security. and that's the besides the 4 people in class, in the handbook who is tyler decided not to increase security, although some works here could be targets. the director is happy to engage with

active. this is what a good stock be interested in. 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 is highly important to go to and then it to be positioned and to fix them. and the active is contacted me in a dialogue developed and we're still talking english based present explanation for the 2022 future exhibition the crews, tyler organize sustainability workshops with fridays for future to the posters were then used at a rally the museum . we should be glad to be a platform for protest that one to a cheap social progress. and it seems reasonable to say, museums should be on the pulse of the times and an open space for civil disobedience. the quest,

the sweep of move this into the art institutions and market always betrayed themselves as being on the right side. hold on as progressive, the ritz as well, especially in amelia. but in america, for example, the people on the boards of museums are the same. people who in real life feel devices from bugging dissidence up her eyes often bottom clear rain for us and create toxic waste wood and it's contradictory as it has passed. i then he says, i me even new york metropolitan in guggenheim, museums and the parents. lou have been accused of double standards, the major museums that have also shown then goals and spaces the photographer rose to prominence with her pictures from the queer, new york underground. intimate an honest snapshots of her friends and her own life in 2018 gold and took on the billionaire

sackler dynasty worldwide. the most important patron of art institutions. they have been immortalized with inscriptions and their own exhibition holes, but their reputation of donors has been tainted since their per do. pharmaceutical company caused the biggest opioid scandal in the us. their pain killer oxycontin drove hundreds of thousands into addiction and fold into was an addict. the documentary all the beauty and the bloodshed shows her. as a woman, news started by personal struggles becomes a strong protest, or we need to demand that the met museum. similar to the taishan reviews donations from this and take down their name. 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 satler's and removed their names. the campaign was 9 golden spar success

as an activist in the quote and skipped to sometimes see the good studies. many artists like man golden, follow the money trail and take on corrupt patrons. need somebody to be and then go there. always scandals that comes out of that goes hand in hand with what the last generation ones do. that's again, that's sort of the one change. but change only happens when institutions change and that it was stopped and the students at the tone and bringing change to art institutions has also been part of the gorilla girls missions miss the 1980s. in particular, they want to see more p, o, c, and female artist, the museums, and exhibitions. the group became known through illegal poster campaigns in new york. for to this day, no one knows who is behind the gorilla master. degree of spreads its message everywhere and stands up for their peers. with imagination and humor. their

posters will be on show and hamburg, and march 2023 goes pop quiz. if february is black history month and march is women's history month, what happens the rest of the year discrimination? what is it, what seems their humor draws people in and it is fun to then point your finger and say, that's true, what's going on. and here's also here's why is 90 percent of the art on display by white men. she was prince doesn't deals stage. man, it really makes you want to stand up too tight. these days go really, 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 arch which leads to a new question. recently we've been busier than ever. and we've also faced with

kind of a huge dilemma. what do you do when the system you've spent your life attacking suddenly embraces you? because it's not traditionally, that's a shift that people who have stood up to institutions are now being invited and paid for their work by these institutions. outlet always. but i don't think this detracts from the work, but rather a test to it's beginning to work on a structural level. and even though it's vincent, brazilian activist, ca you saw also expose the structural tangles with her or her performance against the greet that exploits and destroys the rain forest is called a fix the suffocation this osh full augusta inquired. it was the place i found for myself own g, or i can be heard dodge or i become visible because art gives me this place of greater perception with art,

we can do faith things more sensitively. see if there can be high. yeah, this bottom line, the indigenous artist home is the amazon under both scenarios government, the destruction of the rain forest was fed up 18 percent of the rain forest is raised. another 7 percent will cause the world's climate to tip. this would impact everyone, but most of all the amazon's indigenous peoples to, unless it is i was born and grew up in a protected territory, auto body on the echo. but for those whose land is not protected, it is very bad. they are exposed to violence and displacement. most of the least they have no right to their own land that he does. so i feel that the merchant of indigenous lands of territories is one of the most important tasks that kill use of us says it's not only the land of the indigenous people that's 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 exotic size them on the oh gosh, the kid i could do, i hope to see indigenous culture respected and people maintain their own cultural traditions and not try to fulfill the wishes of non indigenous people to think that the shipment as the, as an organization through our activism and civil resistance guy used to guys championing indigenous rights and protecting the rain forest in a fight for survival. the why is it often women who step up and dedicate their lives to a greater cause? read a tune, the cause become the face of the climate movement. she began calling for school

strikes, well still in school, herself. she's known for speaking truth to power. we say no, blah, blah, blah, doesn't get away anymore. her so called school strikes for climate demonstrations gave rise to a new form of civil disobedience sparking the worldwide fridays for future movement to and the became the symbolic figure of a generation that sees its future betrayed by his parents and politics. the world is waking up and change is coming. what did you like it or not? the type of miss trying to fight? i don't think it's a coincidence that women have somehow become the faces of the current climate movements. and as i, they've always played an important role in silver resistance, but unfortunately they've not been seen as such. have a light on this cause in for them, but soon spies. 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 has been

idolized into that type gap. innovative rebellions led by women can actually be traced back to ancient greece. enlist estrada, accommodated by error itself. any of the women of athens and sparta joined forces to end. a war waged by men, their last resort is this sect strike. and it works. the men eventually make peace to end the pillow. phoenician more terrible about women's power against male war mongering is a reoccurring theme. in the greek tragedy, antigone, the economists protagonist, defies the ruler pre on after he refuses to bury her brother for being a traitor to the country will switch director below route transposes the play to the present in the new production and took it in the amazon. the lead character played by how you solve resist the ruling system,

fighting for the rights of an indigenous and landless population. and i think the soldiers go vengeful to us. all governments have been like crayon. we've always had to fight to have our rights respected pussy riots are also fighting against their cri on vladimir prudence, who is ignoring international law and waging a war of aggression against ukraine. women in russia have not given up and protesting. lot of women and mothers as well that are processing, this will cause the, you know, it's a, the some, and some of these issues are not that far from onset war activism. because the, all these narrative, militarism, it's all very much the stick and it's very male energy, like comcast of the world and the occupation everything.

their videos are a plea against is brutal macho, militarism, bringing suffering and death to so many civilians and soldiers. a like the what can civil disobedience really accomplish and how mahatma gandhi, probably the most famous proponent of civil disobedience let the indian independence movement and consistently remains non violent. in 1930, the austere passive as to marched nearly 400 kilometers to the sea, with his followers to symbolically harvest, sold thousands of indians followed in his butts steps and thereby violated the british soldier monopoly. the spectacular non violent uprising is seen as the beginning of the end of british colonial rule in texas, the city. i'm glad that 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 in the us. war against mexico have given me kind of a full sentence that way. 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 kind of directed cut. so 2 and a half, 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. for defiance had a great impact. after a year long bus drives by the african american population, the law of racial segregation, and buses in schools was found to be unconstitutional and repealed in the state of alabama. it was an important victory in the beginning of the us days 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 in schools with the abolition of racial segregation and the right to vote for this doubts black population. different times. some might say, what are 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? across from vocab hands which down the road blockades are part of the standard toolbox for civil disobedience. comes on the, even germany's federal constitutional court has recognized that something like blocking the highway falls under the freedom of assembly thing this point to spend

a bit lost. and the ongoing discussion of that assemblies in democratic protests will always have some risk and annoyances. but that's the price of democracy. again, this is important and ever since the price of democratic democracy should be able to withstand the various means of civil disobedience, especially when it's not just about local concerns. the global ones like climate change and yet codes for harsher punishments are growing louder. in the u. k extinction rebellions actions have already led to restrictions on the right to demonstrate as fees and stuff. now we need more incendiary speech making it clear to people that were in such a deep trouble, that something has to change, and that is supposed to be something we'll change it that like what a tune, bug sad changes coming, whether you like it or not, 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? for those of the red rebel brigade demonstrating as silent witnesses to the climate catastrophe. like here in berlin. the ship's based on stock were allowed to demonstrate and were protected by the state for the freedom of assembly. were allowed to stand here at the brandenburg gate every day and protest against anything they don't like. and then the niece in many countries, rebels can't do that. they're immediately arrested, killed or disappeared when they try to protect what's there. and that's a shift. as is the case of the russia, where the members of push the riot are not saved due to the radical and open criticism of the status quote. so is it not important that civil disobedience in all its different manifestations, is tolerated in democracies shots?

also the solutions come most region is one of the earns greg treasury and that's why we have to protect my new national park and peru is now seriously threatened by human greed damage covers of white areas and it's been going on for
