➧ TEXT I: This text refers to items from 01 through 05.
If you are an artist who has complained about the oil
industry and the way fossil fuel extraction is damaging the
environment, you now have a chance to put your money where your mouth is. The climate change activist organization
Platform London has launched Fossil Funds Free, a campaign
that asks artists, photographers, playwrights, and other cultural producers to pledge to refuse sponsorship, grants, and awards
from oil companies. Those who join will be able to slap a
Fossil Funds Free logo on their work and exhibitions, letting collectors and visitors know that such companies do not
support them.
