The exhibition features works from the anonymous graffiti artist Banksy’s time in London, Los Angeles, and New York City. It includes displays of his work, several recreations of his murals, and installations tracing his trajectory as an artist who has been committed to confronting social and political issues.
“We had a simple dream and that was to bring art to Manila, to the Filipino audience,” said BANKSY UNIVERSE member and spokesperson Chris Johnson during the recent press preview. “The irony of Banksy’s work being gathered and shown in a museum is not completely lost us,” she said. “But we also have to hold the practicality of where else we can show something like this.”
“It is not out of taking advantage of his art and just appropriating,” Olivares explained. “We do it with respect and awareness.”
