Two climate activists threw a can of tomato soup at a painting by van Gogh at the National Gallery in the UK in a new video.
One of them asked what is worth more, art or life.
The painting is kept behind a piece of glass and is unlikely to sustain any damage.
We feel like the message got lost when the protesters were associated with "Just Stop Oil."
They had to unglue their hands from the wall before they were taken into custody. NBC News reported that the protesters are facing charges.
The message the protesters were trying to send took a bit of unpacking.
One of the protesters asked if they were more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of people. There is a cost of living crisis. Millions of families are not able to afford fuel. They don't have the money to heat a tin of soup.
It's possible that the can of soup is a representation of the families' struggles to afford fuel.
The topic is relevant. The cost of living in Britain is spiking due to high energy bills.
The stunt was defended on the account. The group wrote that the heritage is being destroyed by the Government's failure to act on the climate and cost of living crisis.
A climate activist associated with the group was taken away by the police during a protest after holding an interview.
She said she was doing this for her son. Climate change is a death sentence for everyone.
