that requires urgent actions. the future is determined now. europe revealed part 5 of our series, the 45 minutes on d, w. d, w's crime fighters are back africans, most successful radio drama series continues. all episodes are available online. course you can share and discuss on d. w, africa's facebook page, and other social media platforms, crime fighters to name now around the world, climate activists have attacked works of art for them. the reason is clear 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 would 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 heading 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, are so often targeted to better understand the civil disobedience? we take a look at its historical precedents and has quite is often women who have been

willing to break the rules to achieve change the for pussy riot, civil disobedience, political protest, and art are inseparable. the russian feminist punk band are known for their powerful in austin, provocative performances. 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 this reality because we have real rush cuz the riots are came to international attention with the performance in moscow main to, to drill in 2012 virgin mary, mother of god, banish crews. and they screamed,

and 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. oh, you cannot escape from house arrest and russia by disguising herself as a career on tour in europe, pussy riah talked about their lives reality in russia and express their contempt for truth. we do not exclude books to be the from but 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, the society as the reflection of the situation police was sufficient part as activism is one thing. but what about throwing mash potatoes that cloud

monet paintings? is it acceptable to target artworks for a cause as these last generation activist? people are starving. people are freezing. people are dying when a climate catastrophe. to come back to visit the time it crisis won't leave any of our social spears intact, including culture. we don't just do this in museums and what's funny, but there are one of the places were protests would be talked about, has crushing mr. then the doors 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 will austin on that. so that's that's tied to the head of the barbara reading museum and potsdam does not necessarily agree with the climate activists approach. yes please provide key and it really was violence against our service. and parts should invite dialogue and such a violation of boundaries as destructive caput. but it also attracts attention just

over a 100 years ago. the suffragettes also targeted art and their fight for votes for women. in 1914 married 14 attacks on ard works by the movement even prepared to die for their cause. subject and 13. she died 4 days later. fighting for a cause back in history, you can see what help set the ball rolling and what might have been a step backwards nebraska hutchins, i still got yeah, in groups with my own demons. question. and accordingly, we've decided not to destroy or deliberately break any artwork weren't finished, and we decided new people or bystanders should be involved, that no one should ever be hurt in 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 doesn't help there cause to drill flower at

a car painted by andy warhol. the bulls such actions change people's minds or just lead to head shaking the as an activist from the global. so i feel that extra things like that, take away the focus from the actual problem. and the problem is, the global solved is already experiencing the climate crisis. you know, 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, just like ex of 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 oaken van go delta, which could become polluted and dry out. even more. convo 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 ask for a full, i guess in africa using the energy crisis at the moment. and then we're in ukraine

and the energy poverty in africa as a pretext to start doing gust 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 you less, especially 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 climate change affects 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 pantheon. lifting them at number 19 of the 100 most influential people in the art world of 20. 22. is this unwanted advertising for the museums? ok, just so just to chat with you, if i could call them to be sure you could say this, have the unwanted effect of museums having more visitors offices of the i've been maybe attacking these institutions and they're a nurse. so it wasn't so misplaced. the of these is a stats, it's a no surprise. the reaction has been to increase security net silver 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 make a decision and to fix them. and the active is contacted me in a dialogue developed and we're still talking between discretion, present hunger explanation for the 2022 future exhibition the crews, tyler organized sustainability workshops with fridays for future. the posters were then used at a rally. the item was, you kind of like this as museum, we should be glad to be a platform for protests that want to achieve 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 course of the sweep of move this into the art institutions and

market always betrayed themselves as being on the right side hold as progressive bits 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 bill devices for bugging dissidence up her eyes often bottom clear rain forests and create toxic waste. wooden. it's contradictory as it has passed. i then he says, i mean, even new york's metropolitan in guggenheim, museums and the paras 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 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 sold into 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 or really to demand that the met museum. similar to take the reviews donations from this backwards and take down their name. the message is that tainted money should no longer fund art institutions, and it was heard, the guggenheim and the 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 codes that the many artist like nan golden follow the money trail and take on corrupt patrons. need somebody to be and then go there always scandals. that's kind 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 this is a tune and bringing change to art institutions has also been part of the gorilla girls commission since 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 post for campaigns in new york, but to this day, no one knows who was 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 in hamburg, and march 2023. how goes pop quiz? if february is black history month and march, it's women's history month. what happens the rest of the year discrimination? but this is what their humor draws. people in and it is fun to then point your finger and say, that's true, what's going on. and he, and also his wife, 90 percent of the art on display by white men. she lies the constructive deals. it really makes you want to stand up to 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. i would 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, after this call, you saw also expose the structural tangles with her or her performance against the greed that exploits and destroys the rain forest is called a fix the certification this osh full. augusta inquired, who 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. caesar can be high. yeah, this one. 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 you, unless it is. i was born and grew up in a protected territory. auto body on the go increase, 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 also, 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. let me see. oh gosh, the key. good. and 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 invitation 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 while still in school herself. she's known for speaking truth to power. we say no, blah, blah blah. doesn't get away anymore. for 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, whether you like it or not, the type of 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 because in ford and consume 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 aristotle if any of the women of athens and sparta joined forces to ext resort as a sex strike. and it works. the men of goodness defies the rule. the crayon, after he refuses to bury her brother for being a traitor of the present in the new production antigone and the amazon, the lead character played by ty, you, south. i resist the ruling system fighting for the rights of an indigenous and landless population. but i didn't seem to the soldiers go vengeful to us. all governments have been like cri on. we always had to fight to have our rights respected. now, does it seem the 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. what if the women and mothers as well that are processing this will cause the, you know, it's a the seminars, seminars, issues are not that far from onset war activism. because the, all these directive, 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. the 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 effects is supposed to be on going on the practice of civil disobedience as slavery. and the us war against mexico kind of give really kind of a full sentence that way. it's a violation of the law, but a violation justified by moral principles. it seems 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 type directed cub. so 2 and a half. 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. for defiance had a great impact. after a year long bus drives 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 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 the south 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 occupied wall street, it's all about non violent protests. but how does traffic obstruction fit into the picture? across from vocab, your hands which down the road blockades are part of the standard toolbox for civil disobedience. because i'm the, even germany's federal constitutional court has recognized that something like

blocking the highway falls under the freedom of assembly. good thing. this point has been 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 for both of us as 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 the steve, i'm so we need more incendiary speech making it clear to people that were in such a deep trouble that something has to change. and then it's supposed to be something we'll change it. that's like what a tune bug said, and 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 so, is that the ocean rebellion to 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. the ship to push them themselves were allowed to demonstrate and were protected by the state to 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 snares and associates as is the case of the russia, where the members of pussy ryan 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

also the, the, the

guy i can check on the end for you. okay mark. okay, sounds good. the transport is the greatest causes c, o 2 emissions in europe. and that requires urgent action. the future is determined. now europe revealed part 5 of our series. 15 minutes on d w. that's been kind of how the woman but i'm not a man either. not a 3rd option or anything else. i just don't have a genders. robin has fair to become domestic,

emily and friends react to the change and the partner, not a man, not a woman, a gender, minute hold on to the people the world over information. they provide the opinions they want to express. d, w on facebook and twitter, up to date and in touch. follow us the imagine so many portions of lots of turn out in the world, the climate change, these are the costs of storage space is much less the waste from just one week. how

much was going to really get we still have time to while i'm doing this the
