Change is a social process that does not occur without conflict. The climate movement is exposed to attacks from the right, on the streets and online. The artist and performer Arne Vogelgesang presents actions and campaigns that are directed against the climate and ecology movement and shows how physical and digital violence is used against activists and attempts are made to conquer political territory by influencing public opinion.
In addition to examples of the appropriation of local ecological concerns by right-wing movements, Arne Vogelgesang also takes a look at the current situation in autumn 2023. Arne Vogelgesang and the journalist Martin Kaul then deepen the ideas of the lecture and talk to the audience.
