  • Activists have taken aim at arguably the most famous painting in the world. Two people threw soup on the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris. They crossed the security barrier and shouted at museum-goers. Their shirts read Riposte Alimentaire, French for Food Response. They demanded a Sustainable Food Social Security system, similar to the country’s health care system. It calls for more sustainable farming and better access to food for all. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

    I don’t understand activists who use this sort of tactic. How exactly do they expect to win people over to their cause through vandalism? It only succeeds in angering the very people they wanted them to hear them out.

      @@napoleonbonerfart278 Simply explaining that it worked as an activist art piece, and that it clearly did send a message.
      He meant that it wouldn't work on artists and art-lovers, but it did. Therefore 'I take it you aren't in the community?' as he clearly can't be, or he'd know.
      I don't see how that could be ostentatious at all, unless being into art is pretentious by default for you.

      They’re goal isn’t really to actually damage the painting, you can see it’s protected, people that do this just know it’s going to get media attention, which it always does, so you kinda gotta give them credit, it’s pretty effective in getting people to listen to them.

      Not doing enough for people, animals and the planet is never justifiable yet goes on cos politics is too slow and little action. Actions speak louder than words! When the world ends because of human greed that’s the same as violence reigned on the world by people due to their selfish greedy ways. Violence is happening all around us just cos it’s not manifested in a way the eye can clearly see doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Abuse of the world is violence against the planet and there’s no comparison between the planet and a picture!!
