Paramos el Fin del Mundo! Circo Popular de Justicia Climática!
Títeres gigantes! Cartón que baila! Política por todo los edades! Como parte del Bienal de Arte Manifesta15, the Artivist Network junto fuerzas con La Casa dels Futurs para crear un circo popular de justicia climática que muestra la interseccionalidad y diversidad de diversos actores y luchas por la justicia climática en Catalunya. Presentado en barrios periféricas de Barcelona, este circo usa el humor como una herramienta de cambio social para llevar discursos políticos a un público popular. Pero este circo no solo presenta las problemáticas de la crisis climática, sino también celebra la organización comunitaria y el poder popular de las comunidades afectadas como lideres en la lucha por la justicia climática. https://www.casafuturs.org/projecte/circ/ ------ Giant puppets! Dancing cardboard! Politics for all ages! As part of the Manifesta15 Art Biennial, the Artivist Network joined forces with La Casa dels Futurs to create a popular climate justice circus that showcases the intersectionality and diversity of diverse actors and struggles for climate justice in Catalonia. Performed in peripheral neighborhoods of Barcelona, this circus uses humor as a tool for social change to bring political discourses to a popular audience. This circus not only presents the problems of the climate crisis, but also celebrates the community organization and popular power of affected communities as leaders in the fight for climate justice. https://www.casafuturs.org/projecte/circ/

#FreeFromGas #NotMyTaxonomy Guerrilla Projection- Budapest, Hungary
The Artivist Network carried out a guerrilla projection action near the Budapest Parliament to demand a future #FreeFromGas one week ahead of the European Parliament plenary session on EU taxonomy. Art and climate activists across Europe are calling on the European Parliament and MEPs to vote against the European taxonomy which labels gas as a green, clean climate solution. They stand in solidarity with Ukraine and people around the world who are being devastated by Europe's fossil fuel addiction.

2020 Fossil of the Day Awards: “The Colossal Fossil Award”
America First! The United States wins the Colossal Fossil Award” at the Fossil of the Day Awards: Paris Agreement 5th Anniversary Special Edition! The Colossal Fossil is undoubtedly the greatest prize for those who are the BEST at being the worst, and no country deserves that honor more than the country led by the worlds angriest troll. The United States is not only the country to pull out of the Paris Agreement, but also it has done some much bat-shit crazy stuff in the past four years. For example, drilling for oil in national parks, or lowering automobile efficiency requirements, or replacing the national environmental protection agency officials with sock puppets - all starts to seem weirdly normal.... At Least the United States is back to being the best at something… BEST at being the WORST.

2020 Fossil of the Day Awards: “Not providing Climate Finance and Support”
The United States wins the Fossil Award for “NOT providing climate finance and support” at the Fossil of the Day Awards: Paris Agreement 5th Anniversary Special Edition! America first! Not only did this country, run by the world’s angriest Cheeto, not chip in its climate dues, it cuts money to climate science across the board. Which isn’t surprising, when you give $15,000,000,000 to fossil fuel companies as part of the COVID bailout, you gotta make some cuts somewhere. And in urgent moments such as a pandemic or a climate meltdown, there’s no time to be wasted listening to science…. The supposed “richest country on earth” and demented the orange scarecrow definitely deserve recognition for being the BEST, at being the WORST when it comes to paying your fair share for fueling climate chaos.

2020 Fossil of the Day Awards- “Not honoring the 1.5 Commitment"
Australia wins the Fossil Award for “NOT honoring the 1.5 Commitment” at the Fossil of the Day Awards: Paris Agreement 5th Anniversary Special Edition! It's cool Australia - you can still be the world’s largest exporter of both coal and fossil gas, have no long-term climate target, appoint frackers to lead your COVID recovery and plan to frack all over indigenous territories - and still take climate seriously. No problem there at all… right, mate? Who cares if you lost 20% of your forests to climate-fueled fires last year…. The koalas will bounce back, just like the dodos did. Australia’s abhorrent facade of climate action earns them this prize for being truly the BEST, at being the WORST on keeping the world under 1.5 degrees of warming.

GLOBAL SWARMING (2018) - Katwoice Poland
This public performance features the captivating jellyfish created in a series of workshops on ecofeminist recycled art by the Artivist Network's "artivist-in-residence" Angeline Pittinger at the COP24 UN Climate Conference in Katowice, Poland.
