Pärnu kunstnikud korraldasid Vene konsulaadi ees performance’i Ukraina toetuseks

Pärnu päritolu kunstirühmitus Non Grata korraldas koos New Yorgi anarhistide kunstniketiiva kollektiiviga AnarkoArtLab New Yorgis Vene konsulaadi ees protesti-performance’i “Ukraina kahe tule vahel”.

Eestlastest osalesid aktsioonis Al ja Taje Paldrok, kelle kirjeldust mööda võiks tänaval nähtud taideetenduse sisu kirjeldada nii: “Me toome Ukraina kehaosad Venemaa konsulaadi ette. Ukraina on kahe tule vahel ja me toome tulekustutid, et see hullumeelsus peatada. Ülemaailmne anarhistide ja kunstnike armee vabastab maailma Kurjast Jänesest. Vabastame maailma imperialismist!”

Verbaalse osana kasutati Ron Whiteheadi luuletust “I Will Not Bow Down Vladimir Putin” (for my friends in Eastern Europe & beyond). Ehk tõlgituna: “Ma ei kummarda Vladimir Putinit” (pühendatuna oma Ida-Euroopa ja kaugematele sõpradele).
