The feminist movement, for example, has been immersed over recent years in divisions over major issues like sex work, the definition of the subject of feminism, the conceptualisation of gender itself and the inclusion of trans people. Expressions of violence have even been exchanged by sectors of the movement with opposing opinions, disinformation has been fostered and, within the group, debates that were thought to have been laid to rest decades ago have resurfaced. In these spaces, doubt and division have frozen or stifled progressive advances due to the contradicting priorities of the different factions within the movement. This division, in turn, has opened up spaces for some conservative social, political and religious sectors to mobilise against what they consider a “gender ideology” by taking positions falsely defined as feminist.

This regression threatens basic rights and liberties, as well as fuelling violent discourses against women and other groups like LGBTI+ people and migrants. Protests in the environmental and climate change movement have evolved different strategies in recent years. At the end of 2022, new forms of protest emerged, including sensationalist actions like gluing themselves to paintings or dousing art with tomato soup, which have captured media attention and returned climate action to the public debate. The goal? To break the illusion that “everything is fine” by using actions that impact and disrupt everyday life, whether on the way to work, during a football match or a museum visit. However, some of these acts of vandalism have ended up diverting attention from the climate emergency, while the public outrage they generate can even be counterproductive for the objectives they pursue. Culture is also a common good.
