Paintings safe from soup as Just Stop Oil ‘hangs up the high viz’

Environmental activist group Just Stop Oil has announced that it will halt its high-profile protest tactics, including throwing soup at famous paintings, as it shifts its strategy. The group, known for targeting major artworks to draw attention to climate change, stated that it is stepping away from disruptive actions and focusing on other forms of activism.

This decision follows growing public debate over the effectiveness of their methods, which included protests at major museums and galleries. While their actions sparked global discussions on climate change, they also faced criticism for targeting cultural heritage. By "hanging up the high viz," Just Stop Oil suggests a move toward a different approach in their advocacy, though the specifics of their future plans remain unclear.
