From this moment despair ends and tactics begin is a stencil mural at Marble Arch in London by the graffiti artist Banksy. It was created during Extinction Rebellion protests in London in 2019 when Marble Arch was a base for the protestors. [1]
The slogan is a quotation from The Revolution of Everyday Life by the Situationist philosopher Raoul Vaneigem. [2] This book was first published in 1967 as Traité de savoir-vivre à l'usage des jeunes générations and inspired many such slogans painted as graffiti by Paris students during the unrest of May 68. [3] It then inspired British revolutionaries such as the Angry Brigade. [4]
The accompanying picture shows a child planting a seedling and labelling it with the extinction symbol, which is the logo of Extinction Rebellion. [5] [6]
