NEW YORK, UNITED STATES - SEPTEMBER 15: Climate activists staged a demonstration in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York on Friday (15 September) and called on the institution to remove its board chair, Marie-Josée Kravis, due to her husband Henry Kravis’s ties to the fossil fuel industry. Protesters chanted“Henry Kravis is climate criminal” while several held up a giant banner with the words “MoMA Drop Kravis”. Henry Kravis is a co-founder, co-chair and co-chief executive of KKR, one of the world’s five largest private equity firms, whose investment portfolio includes companies in the oil and gas sectors in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and the Middle East. 16 activists were arrested after attempting to protest overnight at the MoMA early Friday, according to advocacy groups Climate Defenders and New York Communities for Change (NYCC). It’s the second climate action at MoMA in recent months — in early June, a group of activists crashed the museum’s annual benefit gala, also demanding Kravis’s resignation.
