a me off browse climate change. activism takes a new approach. is it working parts unveiled on t w, the nurse to us. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend. d w, the, around the world. climate activists have attacked works of art for them. the reason is clear, 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? of the input. 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 activists 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 as 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 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 the strategy 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 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 jo kina escaped 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 bucks to be the some part. 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 wasn't station part as active visit is one thing. so what about throwing mash potatoes at

a cloud monet painting? 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 connect to it 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 where protest would be talked about test question. mr. then fig 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 the best tide of the head of the barbara reading museum and potsdam does not necessarily agree with the climate activists approach. yes, please provide gate and it really was violence against our engines. 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 and their fight for votes for women. in 1914, mary, 14 attacks on ard works by the movement. even prepared to die for their cause. subject team 13. she died 4 days later. fighting for a cause 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 far that climate activists tend to agree that there should be no destruction, no hurting, of people of just maximum media coverage. but does it help there cause to throw

flour at a car painted by andy warhol, the full 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 south is already experiencing the climate crisis. 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 like, 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 the artist is one of the leading time and 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. convo says the global sales, 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, an africa using the energy crisis at the moment. the war in ukraine and the energy

poverty in africa as a pretext to start doing just 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 the 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 heart attacks of the last generation. the renown german art magazine mono pole even raised them to its cultural pantheon, 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? 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 about the i've been maybe attacking these institutions and they're a nurse. so it wasn't so misplaced. one of these is a style, 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, each build it 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 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 kind of as a 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 quest, the people who does include the art institutions and market always betrayed themselves as being on the right side as progressive bits as well. such, and i mean by the american, for example, the people on the boards of museums are the same. people who in real life feel devices for bugging dissidence as a whole bottom clear rain forest and create toxic waste wood. and it's contradictory as it, as post identity says, i mean, even new york's metropolitan in guggenheim, museums and the parents. lou have been accused of double standards, the major museums that have also shown 9 goals and pieces. 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 as 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 we need to demand that the met museum. similar to take peers donations from the 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 goldens for success as an activist in the quote and skipped to sometimes see the good studies. many artists like nan golden follow the money trail and take on corrupt patrons. need somebody's be and then go there always scandals. jessica harlow, 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 it was stopped. and this is a tune and 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 artist and museums, and exhibitions. the group became known through illegal post to campaigns in new york for 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 and hamburg in 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 seemed their humor draws people in. and it is fun to then point your finger and say, that's true. what's going on. then he will send his wife, 90 percent of the art on display by white men suffice a 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. outlet. i wish, 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 vivian brazilian, after this call, 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 this osh full. augusta inquired, who was the place i found for myself own g, or i can be heard that you are 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. the bottom line, the, 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. the 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 does. so i feel that the merchant of indigenous lands of territories is one of the most important tasks that guy 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, that they move the key to it. and i hope to see indigenous culture respected and people maintain their own cultural tradition and not try to fulfill the wishes of non indigenous people. they think that's 3 sharepoint as the as an organization. through our activism in civil resistance, i used to advise 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 it to 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. what did you like it or not? the type of fish 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 about light initiatives in board 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. a comedy by aristotle, if any of the women of athens and sparta joined forces to eventually make peace to end the pillow venetian war which the country swift director below ral transposes, the plate and landless population the same to the soldiers go vengeful to us. all governments have been like crayon. we've always had to fight to have our rights respected pussy riot are also fighting against their cri on vladimir pooty, 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 and our to militarism, it's all very much istic and it's very male energy, like comcast of the world and 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 watkins civil disobedience, really accomplished and how mahatma gandhi, probably the most famous proponent of civil disobedience, let the indian independence movement and consider as to marched nearly 400

kilometers to the sea with his followers to symbolically harvest. seated with henry david thoreau, the american writer who refused to pay tax, was arrested when she, a black woman, refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white person here, long bus drive by the african american population. the law of racial segregation and 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 right to vote for the celts, black population, the at different times, some might say. but 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 protests. but how does traffic obstruction fit into the picture across your hands which the road blockades are part of the standard toolbox for civil disobedience? it comes on the even germany's federal constitutional court has recognized that something like blocking a highway falls under the freedom of assembly. thing this point has been a bit lost and the ongoing discussion that assemblies in democratic protests will always have some risk and annoyances. but that's the price of democracy agen. this is important and this is 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 now 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. and something will change . like whether tune, brookside, 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 those of 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, pacific bushland scott 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 nice in many countries revels 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 and all its different manifestations is tolerated in democracies? the

returning new to the ops is a moral obligation for germany. this key, the former colonial power wants to make amends, especially for its crimes in africa. thoughts repatriation things about its own problem. returning looted restitution in the cross has of world politics close up in 15 minutes on

d w. the. these sites far as far as with everything they have. despite the objections of their own family, the females find those places of the amazon sealants, even paid for the risk they take. they still believe strongly and what they do. it makes them proud. global dw, the the, the circle to the special hot spots in germany. d w, travel extremely worth a bit. are you ready to get all the

places in europe are smashing all the records venture? just don't lose your grip beam, the treasure map for modern globetrotters. good for some of you rich wykard, breaking assigned to. and now also in book form the, the, the

business dw news line from ballot. russia blocks to cranes, grain exports. the united nation says could withdrawal with effect, millions of people already facing hung up. the agreement previously allowed keeps the ship grain from its black sea. also coming off most kyle condemns what it calls of terrorist attack by ukraine.
