Banksy: Bronze statue of a slaver who was toppled during a protest demonstration June 10 9:55
Undercover artist Banksy posted a new work on SNS. This time, the subject is a bronze statue of a slave merchant who was knocked down during a protest in Britain following the death of a black man in the United States.
In Bristol, southwest England, a protest was held this month on the death of a black man in the United States, and a statue of a 17th-century slave merchant in the city was toppled and thrown into the river.
Banksy, a masked artist known for his sharp social caricatures, posted a sketch on this event on his Instagram on the 9th.
The work depicts the protesters trying to pull them down with ropes around the slave merchant's statue.
This time, there has been a long-standing controversy over whether or not to remove the locals, saying that Banksy praises the slave merchants for the statue.
Banksey suggests in the description of the work that both sides could be convinced if they put together the statue of the slaver and the statue of the protesters.
