Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Two Just Stop Oil protesters have smashed the glass on the Rokeby Venus by Diego Velázquez at the National Gallery in London.

Key Points: 
  • Two Just Stop Oil protesters have smashed the glass on the Rokeby Venus by Diego Velázquez at the National Gallery in London.
  • This, you might be surprised to hear, is not the first time this painting has been the target of activists.
  • In March 1914, a suffragette named Mary Richardson entered the National Gallery with a butcher’s knife secreted in her sleeve.
  • It’s not the first time Just Stop Oil has taken a tactic from the suffragette playbook.

Distancing themselves

  • On a march in London, Just Stop Oil protesters questioned “would the suffragettes have marched on the pavement?” when asked to move.
  • Extinction Rebellion activists, outside of a court where seven women were held for causing damage to Barclays Headquarters, wore suffragette outfits.
  • However, both Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil have made distinctions between their actions and the suffragettes’.
  • Nevertheless, Just Stop Oil’s use of confetti and jigsaws pales in comparison to the suffragettes’ use of firelighters and paraffin.

Justification through history

  • Pankhurst contrasted the actions of other contemporary figures throughout her speeches and her autobiography.
  • Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil has followed in her footsteps, ironically adopting a suffragette tactic while distancing itself from the movement.
  • Pankhurst contrasted how previous violent movements conducted by men had been rewarded in comparison to the suffragettes who were arrested.
