Destroy Capitalism - Banksy

"Destroy Capitalism - Banksy" Canvas Art.

Banksy’s Festival, also known as Destroy Capitalism, is a three-color print work. Festival is printed on a grey background, showing black and white stenciled figures queuing up to buy t-shirts at a merchandise booth at a music festival. The individuals in the line are presented as punks, goths and hippies with their clothes, haircuts and attitudes representative of these subcultures to give the impression that they are attending an ‘alternative’ music festival. They represent what society might consider ‘misfits’ or anti-capitalists. But while their taste in music seems to demonstrate a disavowal of society, as they line up to buy a $30 t-shirt, their spending habits belie the trap capitalism holds for even its most fervent opponents.
