Who doesn’t know Banksy? For those who might have hibernated in Larzac for the past 40 years, he's a street artist whose identity remains a mystery, but whose artworks captivate the entire planet. Rats, police, children, and even politically charged messages: his creations, often provocative, both challenge and fascinate. These works go for millions of euros, while his urban interventions are closely followed events… sometimes even snatched away within the hour (hello London!)...
250 artworks to admire for free
We're talking about the world's most famous street artist because a big exhibition dedicated to him will be held from May 31 to June 15 at the street art museum Parcelle473 in Montpellier. Created by François Berardino, a passionate collector for 15 years, this touring exhibition titled Banksy Modeste Collection has already captivated thousands of visitors. The idea? To provide free access to 250 exceptional artworks and objects while highlighting the values cherished by Banksy: solidarity, feminism, anti-consumerism, and peace.
Works by Banksy, and more!
Each exhibition is accompanied by a collaboration with local associations such as Soccer de Rue and Secours Populaire. Volunteers will be on-site to guide visitors and present their actions, enhancing the engaged aspect of the event. And since Banksy stays true to his principles, entry is free. However, donations will be welcome: part of the funds will help set up the exhibition, and the other portion will go to local or national organizations like SOS Mediterranée.
