"Why We Threw Soup At Van Gogh"

Season 1

When Just Stop Oil threw soup at a Van Gogh painting, there was outrage across social media - including from people who considered themselves naturally sympathetic to their cause. So I wanted to find out the truth: as it turns out, the soup was thrown over glass - no painting was harmed in the making of this protest - and Emma Brown from the group joins me, asking what should we really be angry about - soup over a glass, or the destruction of our planet. But was this tactic helpful or counterproductive - and how does she answer their critics?


This is the only media outlet where you'll find a fair platform for the group, which we're glad to provide.
