8:31 am
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. the times it's not, no painting was damaged, but the impact was huge. so in that respect, could us be active? this 5 i'm, 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 it's historical precedents as an,
8:32 am
as why it is often women who have been willing to break the rules to achieve change . the 4 plus the riot civil disobedience, political protest, and art are inseparable. the russians 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 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, fussy riots 1st came to international attention with the performance in moscow main cathedral in 2012 virgin mary mother of god, banish crews. and they screamed,
8:33 am

8:34 am
potatoes at a cloud loan? 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 it 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 were protest would be talked about test question mister. then 50 wars continued to take hold here in europe due to a shortage of resources. now there's simply won't be time to engage with art and culture schmidt, which was awesome. that's, that's true. 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 keeping it really what violence against ours is an art should invite dialogue. such a violation of boundaries is destructive caput,
8:35 am
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, 14 attacks on ard works by the movement for even prepared to die for their cause. such 1813. 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 has invest 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 it kind of kind of mentioned so far that climate activist tend to agree that there should be no destruction, no hurting, of people. just maximum media coverage. but does it help there cause to throw flour
8:36 am
at the car painted by andy warhol. the bull such actions change people's minds or just lead to head shaking the as an extra this from the global. so i feel that actions like that take away the focus from the actual problem. and the problem is the global south is already experiencing the climate crisis. now, 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
8:37 am
. you know, i believe that access to the communicators, you know, just like ex of is the 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 pre kon africa, which plans to vet for oil and gas near the oaken van 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 to 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
8:38 am
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 the climate education of food security and just opening up the conversation because one thing that i forget less, especially through my 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 climate change effects the whole world, the global self is most affected. and the most radical activism is taking place on
8:39 am
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 artist 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? i just purchased a car from the sure you can say it is, 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 of these is a style to get to no surprise, the reaction has been to increase security to, besides the 4 people in class, in the handbook who is tyler decided not to increase security,
8:40 am
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 based 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 as much as the museum. we should be glad to be a platform for protest that one 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
8:41 am
. the quest, the people who this into the art institutions and market always betrayed themselves as being on the right side as progressive. the ritz as well, especially not merely by the american, for example, the people on the boards of museums are the same. people who in real life feel devices providing dissidence as often bottom clear rain for us and create toxic waste wood and it's contradictory as it has passed. i then he says, i mean, even new york 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
8:42 am
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 we need to demand that the met museum. similar to take 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
8:43 am
satler's and removed their names. the campaign was none goldens for 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 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 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,

8:45 am
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 to that people who have stood up to institutions are now being invited and paid for their work by these institutions. and i think i'll it 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 vivian brazilian add to this guy. 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. 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
8:46 am
greater perception with art, we can do faith things more sensitively. see if there 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 to, 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 does. so i feel that the merchant of indigenous lands of territories is one of the most important tasks that kill use of
8:47 am
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 exalt of size them. thank you. of course, the key aptitude 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 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
8:48 am
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 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. 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
8:49 am
