Austrian Movies Masterpost

*Some of these are not actually Austrian productions, but have important cast or crew members who are Austrian. That is Austrian enough.

Classics and Must-See:

Echte Wiener – Die Sackbauer-Saga (Real Viennese - The Sackbauer Saga), 2008, Comedy, dir. Kurt Ockermüller. IMDB: 30 years after we saw the Sackbauers the last time, they have estranged from everyone. Only mother “Toni” tries to re-establish the old happy family. It is the first of two movie sequels to the Austrian cult series “Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter”. Trailer, Trailer for the sequel

Das Fest des Huhnes (The Festival of the Chicken), 1992, Comedy/Mockumantary, dir. Walter Wippersberg. IMDB: A hilarious spoof on ethnological documentaries: an African TV team comes to the Austrian province to document the strange behavior of the natives. A movie that most students will watch in school at some point, ususally before they really understand and appreciate it, but it’s actually hilarious! Trailer

Hallo Dienstmann (Hello Attendant), 1952, Comedy/Musical, dir. Franz Antel IMDB: Musical comedy about confused identities. Music professor Godai dresses up as service worker for carneval when he accidentially gets a job to move luggage. He plays along when he falls in love with the luggage owner. Everything becomes complicated when the woman of his desire turns out to be the new teacher at the music university. One of Hans Moser’s most famous movies, also starring Paul Hörbiger. There are several others worth watching, especially if you like musical comedies. The song Hallo Dienstmann from the movie

Komm, süßer Tod (Come Sweet Death), 2000, Comedy/Mystery/Thriller, dir. Wolfgang Murnberger IMDB: Ex-detective Brenner wants to keep himself out of trouble but several murder cases and his ex-girlfriend Klara finally get him involved. But making decisions is not one his strengths. The first of four ‘Brenner’ movie adaptions to the novels by Wolf Haas. It’s also co-written by Josef Hader, who also plays the main character Simon Brenner. Trailer, Trailer to sequels: Silentium, Der Knochenmann, Das Ewige Leben

Liebe (Amour), 2012, Drama/Romance, dir. Michael Haneke IMDB: Georges and Anne are an octogenarian couple. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, also a musician, lives in Britain with her family. One day, Anne has a stroke, and the couple’s bond of love is severely tested. Depressing, like any good Haneke movie. Watch it if you’re in the mood to have your week ruined. However, it was nominated for two Oscars and won one, and is worth a watch! Trailer

Müllers Büro

(Müller’s Office), 1986, Comedy/Crime/Musical, dir. Niki List IMDB: Private detective Max Müller and his assistent Larry try to solve a crime but find themselves in strange bars and women. This is an absolute must-watch and one of my favourite movies in general. The humour is on point, it’s very quotable, and the musical acts just fit in perfectly. Also, we get to see a young Andreas Vitasek! Trailer

Muttertag (Mother’s Day), 1993, Comedy, dir. Harald Sicheritz IMDB: A satirical take on the life of a family in a public housing complex in Vienna as they prepare for Mother’s Day. Quotable, iconic, hilarious, somewhat disturbing - an Austrian classic! Trailer

Sissi, 1955, Comedy/Drama/History, dir.  Ernst Marischka IMDB: In the first of a trilogy of movies about Elisabeth “Sissi” of Austria, the young vibrant princess catches the eye of her sister’s fiancé, Emperor Franz Josef. The movie that made Romy Schneider a world star. Maybe not for everyone, but every Austrian should watch it at least once! Trailer

Die Wand (The Wall), 2012, Drama/Fantasy/Mystery, dir. Julian Pölsler IMDB: A woman inexplicably finds herself cut off from all human contact when an invisible, unyielding wall suddenly surrounds the countryside. Accompanied by her loyal dog Lynx, she becomes immersed in a world untouched by civilization and ruled by the laws of nature. This movie is majorly fucked up. There is no other way to say it. Watch it if you want to feel a mixture of shock, disgust, and depression. Trailer

Das weiße Band (The White Ribbon), 2009,  Drama, Mystery, dir  Michael Haneke IMDB: Strange events happen in a small village in the north of Germany during the years before World War I, which seem to be ritual punishment. Who is responsible? Another Haneke movie, you can never go wrong with that. And it is an important movie about Austrian and German history. Trailer

We Feed the World, 2005, Documentary, dir.  Erwin Wagenhofer IMDB: A look at how the world’s food is produced and how mass production changes the environment and the lives of people. This is the movie that almost everyone watched at school at some point. Trailer

Recent Movies:

Die Migrantigen (The Migrumpies), 2017, Comedy, dir.  Arman T. Riahi IMDB:  For a TV documentary, the two unemployed friends Benny and Marko pretend to be petty criminals with immigrant background until the coin flips and reality turns against them. This movie is hilarious and offeres a different perspective on the much talked about issues of immigration and integration. Trailer

Wilde Maus (Wild Mouse), 2017, Comedy/Drama, dir. Josef Hader IMDB: When Georg loses his job, he conceals the fact from his younger wife Johanna, who wants a child with him. Instead, he embarks upon a campaign of revenge against his former boss and begins to renovate a roller-coaster with an old school friend. It is a typical Hader movie. Which means it is a bit depressing, but in a funny way. It’s very enjoyable, and the soundtrack only adds to that. Trailer

Siebzehn (Seventeen), 2017, Drama, dir. Monja Art IMDB: Paula, an above-average intelligent student, is in love with her classmate Charlotte. At the same time she feels permanently provoked by dissolute Lilly to challenge her limits. This movie is cute. I’d bet that the average tumblr user would greatly enjoy it, and I did too. I mean, I didn’t enjoy it just because wlw romance, but it definitively was a plus! Trailer

Personal favourites and movies I just need to mention:

Bad Fucking, 2013, Comedy, dir. Harald Sicheritz IMDB This movie is inspired by the name of the real Austrian Village Fucking. It is about the fictinal tourist resort Bad Fucking that mainly attracts people with its unique name. To be honest, the trailers looked more promising than the movie really was, but nevertheless, it was entertaining. My highlight was Michael Ostrowski, also known as “Franzi” from Vier Frauen und ein Todesfall, as mayor. Trailer

Funny Games, 1997, Drama, Horror, dir. Michael Haneke

IMDB: Two violent young men take a mother, father, and son hostage in their vacation cabin and force them to play sadistic “games” with one another for their own amusement. My favourite Haneke movie. I’m not a huge horror fan, but that movie just struck a nerve, somehow. Make sure you watch the 1997 original, not the American 2007 remake. Trailer

Im Keller, 2014, Documentary, dir. Ulrich Seidl IMDB: A documentary that reveals what its subjects do in their respective basements. If you think that documentaries are boring, watch this one. The movie is many things, most of all distrubing and, I don’t want to say “gross”, because we’re talking about real people here, but it kind of is, but it is not for a second boring. Trailer

Feel free to add more if I missed them!

p style=”text-align: justify;”>Bad Elster/CVG. Die Regierungsbildung scheint in die finale Phase zu gehen, die Zeit der Büttenreden ist nun vorbei. Die Kultur- und Festspielstadt Bad Elster beendet nun die Faschingszeit in der Ferienzeit als Ausflugsziel für Kultursuchende in der Wintertraumlandschaft des Oberen Vogtlandes. Hier daher die Kulturtipps aus Bad Elster in der Woche vom 12. bis 18. Februar:

Am Montag, den 12. Februar heißt es um 19.00 Uhr wieder »Rosenmontag im Königlichen Kurhaus«! Bei dieser bunten Karnevalsgala laden die Narrenvereinigungen des Elsteraner Fosnetclub und des Triebeler Carnevals Volk mit Auszügen aus ihren aktuellen Karnevalsprogrammen gemeinsam zur großen Rosenmontagsparty. Bei diesem großen Büttenabend werden große Reden und feine Redewendungen die Gäste köstlich unterhalten – passend zum königlich-humorvollen Ambiente des Königlichen Kurhauses. Alle Gäste und Einwohner sind dazu recht herzlich eingeladen.

Am Dienstag, den 13. Februar gibt der Kölner Gitarrist Markus Segschneider um 19.30 Uhr im TheaterClub Bad Elster eines seiner virtuosen Gitarrenkonzerte im Theatercafé des König Albert Theaters. Jedes der zahlreichen Konzerte Markus Segschneiders ist ein Erlebnis der besonderen Art: Ein Mann, sechs Stahlsaiten, und nicht einen Augenblick kommt das Gefühl auf, dass etwas fehlt. Markus Segschneider verfügt als Gitarrist über ein ungeheuer großes Repertoire an Stilmitteln, die sich in seinen Kompositionen nahtlos miteinander verbinden. Es scheint überhaupt keine Grenzen zu geben für das, was der Musiker mit und auf seiner Gitarre anstellt: Jazz, Folk, Pop, Funk – alles wird gelassen verwoben zu einer Musik, die die lebensfrohe Stimmung eines Bilderbuchsommermorgens vermittelt. Markus Segschneider werden seit einiger Zeit »umwerfendes Gitarrenspiel« (Bridge guitar reviews) und eine »überbordende Ideenvielfalt« (Akustik Gitarre) attestiert. In Erscheinung getreten ist der Kölner bislang im Rahmen einer bereits unüberschaubaren Anzahl vielfältiger musikalischer Projekte, so z.B. als Mitglied diverser Bandformationen, gefragter Studiomusiker, Arrangeur und Komponist. Mehr als 100 CDs entstanden bisher unter seiner Mitwirkung.

VALENTINSTIPP DER WOCHE:

Am Mittwoch, den 14. Februar gastiert das Junge Ensemble der Semperoper Dresden um 19.30 Uhr mit einem vielstimmigen Liederabend zum Valentinstag im König Albert Theater Bad Elster. Die Ensemblemitglieder Michal Doron, Grace Durham, Tania Lorenzo, Chao Deng und Alexandros Stavrakakis werden in Begleitung von Noori Cho am Klavier und unter der Leitung von Thomas Cadenbach einen liebevollen musikalischen Abend zelebrieren und die Zuhörer mit »Liebesmelodien« berauschen. Auf den großen Bühnen der Welt zu singen – für viele aufstrebende Sängerinnen und Sänger ein Traum! Zum Valentinstag präsentieren nun ausgewählte internationale Sängerinnen und Sänger des Jungen Ensembles der Sächsischen Staatsoper Dresden als Stars von morgen im König Albert Theater unsterbliche Opernklassiker, bei denen es sich um das größte Thema aller Zeiten dreht: die Liebe! Neben den berühmten Verdi-Arien »Caro Nome« (Rigoletto) und »Ella giammai m’amò« (Don Carlos) sowie dem Operettenhit »Dunkelrote Rosen bring‘ ich schöne Frau« werden vor allem wunderschöne Duette wie »Là ci darem la mano« aus Mozarts »Don Giovanni« oder »Belle nuit, ô nuit d’amour« aus »Hoffmanns Erzählungen« für einen Abend im Klang voller Liebesmelodien sorgen.

Am Freitag, den 16. Februar präsentiert das spritzige Jugend-Jazzorchester Sachsen um 19.30 Uhr im Rahmen der Reihe JUNGES PODIUM gemeinsam mit dem Berliner Saxofonisten und Arrangeur Malte Schiller ein groovendes Big-Band-Konzert im König Albert Theater Bad Elster. Bigbands sind in der Jazzmusik immer ein besonderes Ereignis – und das Jugend-Jazzorchester Sachsen unter der Leitung von Malte Schiller kommt, um dieses Ereignis zu feiern! Jazz ist eine Musik, die durch Gemeinschaft erst zum Leben erweckt wird und die ohne Gemeinschaft nicht funktioniert. Die Rhythmen, wärmenden Dissonanzen und umarmende Klänge, die so nur von einer Bigband erzeugt werden können, nehmen das Publikum mit auf eine Reise, auf der alle für einen Moment den Alltag hinter sich lassen können. Das aktuelle Programm des JJO Sachsen ist tief in der Tradition der Bigband-Musik verwurzelt und zelebriert mit seinen Titeln die Intimität, Swing und die energiegeladene Club-Atmosphäre, die nur bei solch einem Ensemble entstehen kann. Die Musik, die Malte Schiller für das Jugend-Jazzorchester Sachsen zusammengestellt und arrangiert hat, hat ihre Wurzeln in dem Bigband-Sound der 50er und 60er Jahre und steht in der Tradition von Komponisten und Arrangeuren wie Marty Paich, Johnny Mandel, Gerry Mulligan und Bob Brookmeyer. Der in Berlin lebende Saxophonist, Komponist und Arrangeur Malte Schiller arbeitete unter anderem mit Vince Mendoza, John Clayton, Kurt Elling, der HR-Bigband und dem niederländischen Metropol Orkest zusammen. Seit 2013 unterrichtet Malte Schiller Komposition und Arrangement als Lehrbeauftragter der Hochschule für Künste in Bremen.

WOCHENENDTIPP DER WOCHE:

Am Sonnabend, den 17. Februar gastiert um 19.30 Uhr mit ONAIR eines der derzeit besten Vocal-Art-Popensembles im historischen Ambiente des König Albert Theaters Bad Elster. Das funkelnde Live-Programm „Illuminate“ stellt dabei das Spektrum des Lichts in den Mittelpunkt: Das Schimmern und Funkeln, die Schatten, die Dunkelheit und das flüchtige Leuchten des Augenblicks… Diese vielfach preisgekrönte Berliner Vokal-Band hat bereits alle wichtigen Preise der Vokalszene gewonnen und sich in die internationale Top-Liga gesungen. Damit zählen sie zu den besten Vocal-Pop-Bands weltweit. Bad Elster geht ONAIR! Ihr klangvolles Winterprogramm dreht sich dabei ganz um leuchtende Stimmen in der dunklen Jahreszeit: Herausragende Eigenkompositionen verbinden sich mit atemberaubenden Vokal-Arrangements weltbekannter Songs u.a. von Led Zeppelin, Queen oder Rammstein. Dazu eröffnen die gefühlvollen Vokal-Bearbeitungen deutschsprachiger Songs von Herbert Grönemeyer oder Xavier Naidoos neue, berührende Klangwelten. In dieser Bühnenshow funkeln die Töne und vibrieren die Beats. Und zwischen Schatten und Dunkelheit glänzt das kostbare, flüchtige Leuchten des Augenblicks … Bad Elster leuchtet!

Am Sonntag, den 18. Februar öffnet sich um 15.00 Uhr wieder der Vorhang für die »Große Johann-Strauß-Gala« im König Albert Theater Bad Elster. Die Produktion mit dem Chursächsischen Hofballverein und dem Chursächsischen Salonorchester präsentiert dabei im prachtvollen Ambiente des König Albert Theaters wieder ein unterhaltsames musikalisch-tänzerisches Potpourri im Glanze der großen Melodien von Johann Strauß. Auf dem Programm dieser musikalischen Reise im König Albert Theater stehen wieder zahlreiche Weltklassiker der Strauß-Dynastie: Neben dem berühmten Wiener »Donauwalzer« und einem Besuch »Im Krapfenwaldl« zeigen kontinentale Ausflüge mit dem »Egyptischen« und dem »Persischen Marsch«, der schwungvolle »Cachucha-Galopp«, eine lustige Fahrt im »Vergnügungszug« oder der weltberühmte »Radetzky Marsch« die große Vielfalt der Kompositionskunst in der Strauß-Familie. Die dazu hinreißend inszenierten Choreographien des Chursächsischen Hofballvereins geben dieser Gala in Bad Elster dabei eine besonders reizende Note, welche beim spritzigen »Can Can« oder dem feurigen »Säbeltanz« ihren Höhepunkt erreicht. Abgerundet wird das bunte Programm durch unterhaltende Orchesterwerke des Chursächsischen Salonorchesters. Ein Konzert für alle Freunde der leichten Muse!

Abgerundet wird das winterliche Programm in der Kultur- und Festspielstadt Bad Elster mit verschiedenen Kammermusikprogrammen von Ensembles der Chursächsischen Philharmonie und Folklore-Konzerten mit Orchestern der Musikregion Vogtland. Die Veranstaltungen können selbstverständlich jederzeit mit Rahmenprogrammen aus Erholung & Kulinarium kombiniert werden.

29 pictures of people refusing to accept the status quo.

The world is too important, and life is too short, for us to accept that it cannot become better than it is.

And so many people won’t. Over the past 100 years, protestors have fought for equal rights, education access, justice, and democracy, creating epic and emotional art in the service of making our world more fair.

These are a few of the sculptures, murals, and performances that caught our eye, moved our hearts, and made us think. Up first: a few classics.

1. In May 1913, women marched in New York’s Suffrage Parade carrying the American flag and demanding the right to vote.

Image by Paul Thompson/Topical Press Agency/Getty Images.

2. In June 1917, these pro-prohibition British children took to the streets, demanding sweets.

Image by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images.

3. In the 1920s, American Prohibition-era protestors made their desires known with a giant barrel of beer.

Image by Henry Guttmann/Getty Images.

Many creative protests grow from political frustration.

4. In May 1989, pro-democracy protestors and art institute students built a 30-foot-tall statue dubbed “The Goddess of Democracy” and planted it in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

Image by Toshio Sakai/Getty Images.

This photo was taken May 30. Just days later, the government tanks rolled in.

5. In San Sebastian, Spain, supporters of the pro-independence movement covered the field of Anoeta stadium in long cloths representing a ballot box.

Image by Ander Gillenea/Getty Images.

6. Ukraine is no stranger to political protests. This photo, filled with orange balloons and festoons (the colors of 2004’s presidential candidate Viktor Yuschenko), was taken on the sixth day of protests after a disputed election.

Image by Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images.

Protests would continue for another two months.

7. For 79 days in fall 2014, Hong Kong’s student-led protest movement, the “Umbrella Revolution,” occupied busy city streets.

Image by Ed Jones/AFP/Getty Images.

Why umbrellas? Because they are excellent for blocking pepper spray, the crowd-dispersing weapon-of-choice for military and police.

8. In the Umbrella Revolution’s camps, art installations were a symbol of the creative expression sought by the pro-democracy protestors.

Image by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images.

9. In March 2016, thousands of protestors including these extremely unflattering inflatable effigies filled the streets of Sao Paulo.

Image by Victor Moriyama/Getty Images News.

They were calling for the resignation of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and the incarceration of former President Luiz Ignacio Lula da Silva

Some protestors use art to call for urgent, transformative justice.

10. These Czech activists imprisoned themselves in Prague’s Wenceslas Square to protest unlawful detainment at Guantanamo Bay.

Image by Michal Cizek/AFP/Getty Images.

The protestors bound their feet and hands, wore black sacks over their heads, and covered their ears with headphones. They called their protest “Two Cubic Meters of Human Rights,” a reference to the size of their cages.

11. A protestor lies on sculptor Ai Weiwei’s sunflower seeds installation in London’s Tate Modern Museum after covering the piece in flyers demanding the artist’s release from detention in China.

Image by Carl Court/Getty Images.

Each seed in Weiwei’s installation is handmade from porcelain, then hand-painted. There were approximately 100 million made for this piece, which the Tate Modern described as questioning, “What does it mean to be an individual in today’s society?”

12. After leaving Johannesburg’s 2002 global summit on sustainable development in disgust, environmentalists pinned placards on a nearby art installation. Each one reads “betrayed” in a different language.

Image by Joav Lemmer/AFP/Getty Images.

13. In September 2010, Argentinian teachers marched through Buenos Aires with a mighty pencil while demanding increases in education funding.

Image by Juan Mabromata/AFP/Getty Images.

Other times protest art can transform tragedy into beauty.

14. This powerful light sculpture recognized seven female victims of political violence in Abidjan, Cte d’Ivoire.

Image by Sia Kambou/AFP/Getty Images.

Between 2010 and 2011, post-electoral violence cost the lives of over 3,000 people nationwide in Cte d’Ivoire.

15. After the only bridge linking Mitrovica’s Albanian and Serbian neighborhoods was blocked with cement barricades, Albanian artists created one out of waterlily pads instead.

Image by Armand Nimani/AFP/Getty Images.

16. During 2012’s Rio+20 conference on sustainability, an artist created these giant fish from discarded plastic bottles.

Image by Vanderlei Almeida/AFP/Getty Images.

The fish were hollow, allowing them to be illuminated from within at night. The sign nearby encourages passerby to “Recicle suas atitudes” (“Recycle your attitudes”).

17. In May 2013, activists floated 12,000 candles on a river in Sclessin one for every job that would be lost to closures at nearby steel plants.

Image by John Thys/AFP/Getty Images.

18. Located on the sidelines of Men’s Fashion Week, Milan’s “Wall of Dolls” showcased increasing violence against women.

Image by Olivier Morin/AFP/Getty Images.

19. To set an example for openness and tolerance, German artist Kurt Fleckenstein installed 175 prayer rugs in front of a church in Dresden in 2015.

Image by Arno Burgi/AFP/Getty Images.

20. As world leaders negotiated a climate deal in Paris, artist Olafur Eliasson brought pieces of Greenland’s ice cap to melt in front of the Pantheon.

Image by Eric Feferberg/AFP/Getty Images.

Some protests demand a little theatricality.

21. At this 2003 protest in Avignon, French artists staged a “die in” to protest government welfare reform.

Image by Boris Horvat/AFP/Getty Images.

22. The face of Greenpeace’s Save the Arctic campaign is a polar bear, so it’s only natural they’d make a giant one (with moving limbs!) to celebrate their big victory against Arctic drilling.

Image by Niklas Halle’n/AFP/Getty Images.

The polar bear first appeared outside the U.K. headquarters of Royal Dutch Shell in September 2015 after the company announced it was suspending its preliminary drilling campaign in the Arctic. It later travelled to the UN climate talks in Paris. Fun fact: just out of frame in this photo? Actress and activist Emma Thompson.

23. In July 2013 in southern France, the women of Banyuls-sur-Mer put modesty on the line, as they strung garlands of bras across streets to protest a private marina project.

Image by Raymond Roig/AFP/Getty Images.

24. On the last day of the COP16 climate talks in Cancun, youth activists dramatized a rescue for the “drowning” negotiators with a giant life preserver and some much-needed optimism.

Image by John Quigley/SpectralQ.

Other protests use art and performance to transform pain and let people heal.

25. For her entire senior year at Columbia University, Emma Sulkowicz carried her mattress everywhere to protest the school’s lack of action on rape allegations she brought against another student.

Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images.

She even brought the mattress to her graduation ceremony.

26. Shortly after indigenous activists posed for this photo, they finished digging a trench through this temporary dam, “freeing” the Xingu River and allowing it to resume its natural path.

Image by John Quigley/SpectralQ.

“Pare Belo Monte” translates to “Free Belo Monte.” It refers to the site of Brazil’s controversial Belo Monte Dam on the Xingu River. When completed, the dam will displace thousands of Indigenous people and flood their traditional villages.

27. With negotiations once again locked in a stalemate, hundreds of schoolchildren in Durban, South Africa, created this living lion to encourage world leaders at the COP17 climate talks to have courage to effect change.

Image by John Quigley/SpectralQ.

And sometimes artistic protests can look a little silly.

28. Whatever your position on Facebook, it’s hard not to Like this float of its founder Mark Zuckerberg created for Viareggio’s annual Carneval parade.

Image credit: Claudio Giovannini/AFP/Getty Images.

Viareggio’s Carneval often lampoons cultural figures, particularly politicians, who dominated public discourse over the past year. Previous floats have featured Russian President Vladimir Putin and current U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

29. When Italian artist Graziano Cecchini poured thousands of colored balls down Rome’s Spanish steps in 2008, he said each one “represented a lie told by politicians.”

Image by Filippo Monteforte/AFP/Getty Images.

As folk singer and activist Phil Ochs’ lyrics are often paraphrased: “In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.”

We’re proud these artists and agitators are part of our world. They make it and us so much better.

Some protestors use art to call for urgent, transformative justice.

10. These Czech activists imprisoned themselves in Prague’s Wenceslas Square to protest unlawful detainment at Guantanamo Bay.

The protestors bound their feet and hands, wore black sacks over their heads, and covered their ears with headphones. They called their protest “Two Cubic Meters of Human Rights,” a reference to the size of their cages.

11. A protestor lies on sculptor Ai Weiwei’s sunflower seeds installation in London’s Tate Modern Museum after covering the piece in flyers demanding the artist’s release from detention in China.

Image by Carl Court/Getty Images.

Each seed in Weiwei’s installation is handmade from porcelain, then hand-painted. There were approximately 100 million made for this piece, which the Tate Modern described as questioning, “What does it mean to be an individual in today’s society?”

12. After leaving Johannesburg’s 2002 global summit on sustainable development in disgust, environmentalists pinned placards on a nearby art installation. Each one reads “betrayed” in a different language.

13. In September 2010, Argentinian teachers marched through Buenos Aires with a mighty pencil while demanding increases in education funding.

Other times protest art can transform tragedy into beauty.

14. This powerful light sculpture recognized seven female victims of political violence in Abidjan, Cte d’Ivoire.

Between 2010 and 2011, post-electoral violence cost the lives of over 3,000 people nationwide in Cte d’Ivoire.

15. After the only bridge linking Mitrovica’s Albanian and Serbian neighborhoods was blocked with cement barricades, Albanian artists created one out of waterlily pads instead.

16. During 2012’s Rio+20 conference on sustainability, an artist created these giant fish from discarded plastic bottles.

The fish were hollow, allowing them to be illuminated from within at night. The sign nearby encourages passerby to “Recicle suas atitudes” (“Recycle your attitudes”).

17. In May 2013, activists floated 12,000 candles on a river in Sclessin one for every job that would be lost to closures at nearby steel plants.

20. As world leaders negotiated a climate deal in Paris, artist Olafur Eliasson brought pieces of Greenland’s ice cap to melt in front of the Pantheon.

Some protests demand a little theatricality.

21. At this 2003 protest in Avignon, French artists staged a “die in” to protest government welfare reform.

22. The face of Greenpeace’s Save the Arctic campaign is a polar bear, so it’s only natural they’d make a giant one (with moving limbs!) to celebrate their big victory against Arctic drilling.

The polar bear first appeared outside the U.K. headquarters of Royal Dutch Shell in September 2015 after the company announced it was suspending its preliminary drilling campaign in the Arctic. It later travelled to the UN climate talks in Paris. Fun fact: just out of frame in this photo? Actress and activist Emma Thompson.

23. In July 2013 in southern France, the women of Banyuls-sur-Mer put modesty on the line, as they strung garlands of bras across streets to protest a private marina project.

24. On the last day of the COP16 climate talks in Cancun, youth activists dramatized a rescue for the “drowning” negotiators with a giant life preserver and some much-needed optimism.

Other protests use art and performance to transform pain and let people heal.

25. For her entire senior year at Columbia University, Emma Sulkowicz carried her mattress everywhere to protest the school’s lack of action on rape allegations she brought against another student.

She even brought the mattress to her graduation ceremony.

26. Shortly after indigenous activists posed for this photo, they finished digging a trench through this temporary dam, “freeing” the Xingu River and allowing it to resume its natural path.

Image by John Quigley/SpectralQ.

“Pare Belo Monte” translates to “Free Belo Monte.” It refers to the site of Brazil’s controversial Belo Monte Dam on the Xingu River. When completed, the dam will displace thousands of Indigenous people and flood their traditional villages.

27. With negotiations once again locked in a stalemate, hundreds of schoolchildren in Durban, South Africa, created this living lion to encourage world leaders at the COP17 climate talks to have courage to effect change.

And sometimes artistic protests can look a little silly.

28. Whatever your position on Facebook, it’s hard not to Like this float of its founder Mark Zuckerberg created for Viareggio’s annual Carneval parade.

Viareggio’s Carneval often lampoons cultural figures, particularly politicians, who dominated public discourse over the past year. Previous floats have featured Russian President Vladimir Putin and current U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

29. When Italian artist Graziano Cecchini poured thousands of colored balls down Rome’s Spanish steps in 2008, he said each one “represented a lie told by politicians.”

Image by Filippo Monteforte/AFP/Getty Images.

As folk singer and activist Phil Ochs’ lyrics are often paraphrased: “In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty.”

We’re proud these artists and agitators are part of our world. They make it and us so much better.

29 pictures of people refusing to accept the status quo.

The world is too important, and life is too short, for us to accept that it cannot become better than it is.

And so many people won’t. Over the past 100 years, protestors have fought for equal rights, education access, justice, and democracy, creating epic and emotional art in the service of making our world more fair.

These are a few of the sculptures, murals, and performances that caught our eye, moved our hearts, and made us think. Up first: a few classics.

1. In May 1913, women marched in New York’s Suffrage Parade carrying the American flag and demanding the right to vote.

Image by Paul Thompson/Topical Press Agency/Getty Images.

2. In June 1917, these pro-prohibition British children took to the streets, demanding sweets.

Image by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images.

3. In the 1920s, American Prohibition-era protestors made their desires known with a giant barrel of beer.

Image by Henry Guttmann/Getty Images.

Many creative protests grow from political frustration.

4. In May 1989, pro-democracy protestors and art institute students built a 30-foot-tall statue dubbed “The Goddess of Democracy” and planted it in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.

Image by Toshio Sakai/Getty Images.

This photo was taken May 30. Just days later, the government tanks rolled in.

5. In San Sebastian, Spain, supporters of the pro-independence movement covered the field of Anoeta stadium in long cloths representing a ballot box.

Image by Ander Gillenea/Getty Images.

6. Ukraine is no stranger to political protests. This photo, filled with orange balloons and festoons (the colors of 2004’s presidential candidate Viktor Yuschenko), was taken on the sixth day of protests after a disputed election.

Image by Mladen Antonov/AFP/Getty Images.

Protests would continue for another two months.

7. For 79 days in fall 2014, Hong Kong’s student-led protest movement, the “Umbrella Revolution,” occupied busy city streets.

Image by Ed Jones/AFP/Getty Images.

Why umbrellas? Because they are excellent for blocking pepper spray, the crowd-dispersing weapon-of-choice for military and police.

8. In the Umbrella Revolution’s camps, art installations were a symbol of the creative expression sought by the pro-democracy protestors.
