Transformations-Salon – Angriffe auf die Klimabewegung von Rechts

Change is a social process that does not succeed without conflict. The actions of the climate movement challenge counter-reactions, on the street and on the net. Artist and performer Arne Vogelgesang demonstrates actions and campaigns directed against the climate and ecology movement and proves how physical and digital violence is used against activists and how attempts are made to conquer political terrain 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 actions of the climate movement in October this year and the counter-reactions from the right.
