Banksy, “Banality of the Banality of Evil” (2013)
Back in 2013, toward the end of his one-month stay in New York, Banksy found and “vandalized” a painting he found in a local thrift store, Housing Works. The mission of the nonprofit is “to end the dual crises of homelessness and AIDS through relentless advocacy, the provision of lifesaving services, and entrepreneurial businesses that sustain our efforts.”
He then redonated the “painting” to the thrift store, which received the proceeds from its sale.
“War Capitalism & Freedom”

Everyone who reads this blog knows I’m a big fan of the enigmatic British street artist known as Banksy.
This past Tuesday, a new exhibit of Banksy’s work—”War Capitalism & Freedom“—opened in Rome.
“The exhibit symbolizes the fundamental concepts of Banksy’s vision,” said Emmanuele Francesco Maria Emanuele, the chairman of the Fondazione Terzo Pilastro. “Capitalism in crisis; war, which is a consequence; and the notion of freedom that must continue to live inside us independently from the world that surrounds us.”
