I get your point
- but the racehorse in question was the King's, and so it was connected to the establishment that was part of the problem.
These art pieces don't seem to be connected to climate change at all (except in that all of Earth is connected to the problem, I suppose).
Are the galleries sponsored by Shell or something?

I don't quite get yours.
I think you have just had the connection between racehorses and women's suffrage normalised through familiarity. The king of GB is a figurehead of power, constitutionally speaking he would have no say regarding voting rights for anyone. He doesn't even vote in elections.
Listen to/read what the protestors say. Art, like our planet, is beautiful, precious, and valuable. Our planet is not protected by a sheet of glass, there are no security guards to protect it from vandals. How you feel about a work of art being damaged or threatened is one trillionth of how you should feel about people destroying your ecosystem.
It's a lot less tenuous than chaining oneself to a fence or throwing oneself in the path of a rich man's racehorse in order to secure votes for women.

Fair enough - this is more explanation than I'm getting from the media
What the protestors are actually saying hasn't been especially prominent in the coverage.
