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]
