What Banksy did next: five fresh ideas for the street art agitator in 2016

It’s been a busy 2015 for Banksy, who opened his own theme park and intervened in Europe’s refugee crisis. Here’s how he should wield his spraycan next year

It’s been quite the year for every council worker’s favourite stencil owner. From his tour of Gaza to bringing Steve Jobs to Calais’s largest refugee camp, Banksy has highlighted the politics of many of 2015’s most troubled regions. Where he goes next is anyone’s guess. Surely it can’t be long until he’s asked to join Geri Halliwell in the hallowed corridors of the UN as a goodwill ambassador.

In conversation with Murad Subay about Art & Human Rights\ With “HRFF” Berlin.

Since the outbreak of the war, Murad Subay has been painting on walls and ruins across Yemen. With his art, he shows the devastating consequences of war, poverty, and disease, and denounces the war crimes of all parties involved – including those in the West, whose arms exports are contributing to Yemeni suffering.

“Children Recruitment” my mural, Aden, Yemen. August 2021

Since the outbreak of the war, the parties to the war, especially in the north, have sought to use all means of dirty war, including the recruitment of children, which was and is more severe, especially after the systematic destruction of the educational system, which in turn left millions of children without education, as well as the militias of various types and agendas by recruiting and brainwashing thousands of children, taking advantage of the poverty that people have reached in Yemen.

[English]

Art has an extraordinary capacity to provoke, protest and enlighten.

Less than two days after I executed the mural collage of “Subjugation” in the heart of Paris, the collage was brutally ripped down.

My work, especially the political work, has suffered a lot of blurring, disfigurement across the years, but every time it happens it makes me realize that I am on the right track.
