New Banksy Graffiti Works: Poignant and Defiant Take on Gaza

2 Mar 2015

Banksy has recently travelled to Gaza. On February 25, the graffiti artist/political activist unveiled his latest project, graffiti art amongst the ruins of Gaza. Alongside his Gaza artworks, Banksy produced the mini-documentary, "Make this the year YOU discover a new destination". Mimicking travel industry blurbs, Banksy's mini-travel documentary parodies tourism in Gaza to expose the cost of Israel's occupation and repeated bombardment of Gaza.

Meanwhile, Oxfam has also released a report, which contends that it could take up to a century to rebuild Gaza.

Watch Banksy’s Gaza mini-documentary on SACSIS and view his latest work, a poignant and defiant account of life in Gaza, on his website.
