Last Generation (climate movement) uses demonstration
The Last Generation (German: Letzte Generation, pronounced [ˈlɛt͡stə ˌɡeːnəʁaˈt͡sjoːn], Italian: Ultima Generazione) is a group of climate change activists mostly active in Germany, Italy, and Austria. Since their formation in 2021, they have staged numerous road blockades (276 in Germany over the course of 2022), and used paint to vandalise yachts, notorious paintings, buildings, restaurants and  private jets.
In Rome, they threw soup at a van Gogh painting behind glass, called The Sower. In Potsdam, they threw mashed potatoes onto a Monet painting. None of the artworks they attacked were damaged.  Their civil disobedience methods, such as desecrating artworks or blocking roads, have met with mixed reactions from the public, including expressions of outrage and threats of violence.The group was formed by participants of the 2021 Hungerstreik der letzten Generation which had blockaded highways in Berlin. They chose their name to signal that Earth is approaching climate tipping points, and that their generation is the last one that can prevent climate collapse.
