Earlier today, Banksy shared some photos and a video of what
he’s currently getting up to. Apparently the artist is in Gaza at the moment as
seen in the aforementioned clip titled "Make this the year YOU discover a new
destination." The video is a tongue and cheek nod to the tourism industry via
travel commercial and sees Banksy entering an “illegal tunnel” and emerging in
Gaza. Several new pieces are put up
among the urban decay including the one above which is a play on Niobe, the
Greek goddess that was punished for pride in her children. The project seems
to be a commentary on Israel’s Operation Protective Edge and the subsequent
hardships suffered by Palestinians, check it out below…
