Explainer for the middle class white people who are confused about climate activists “defacing” art that is protected behind glass:
Riposte Alimentaire has claimed responsibility for several attacks on art in attempts to draw attention to the climate crisis.
Activists are desperate:
-
The political processes are utterly broken and too little is being done to legislate change.
-
The public blames lawmakers and corporations BUT the public also goes about flying, driving, consuming.
-
There’s NO PROTESTING and a lot of pretending there is no problem
This is a CLIMATE EMERGENCY.
