Dismaland

Artists bringing to light the realities of environmental and social struggles we currently face have been given a opportunity to share their works with the public in Dismaland.  Organised by British Street Artist, Banksy, he elaborates further:

“It’s an experiment in offering something less resolved than the average theme park. For some reason it’s been labelled as ‘twisted’ but I’ve never called it that. We just built a family attraction that acknowledges inequality and impending catastrophe. I would argue it’s theme parks which ignore these things that are the twisted ones.

The location was easy to find – I came here every summer for the first 17 years of my life.”
