Dismaland

Dismaland - Banksy 2015

 

The exhibit was built on the site of Weston-super-Mare's dilapidated Tropicana lido, which the anonymous Bristol street artist had visited as a child.

 

The subversive tourist attraction was conceived as a 'bemusement park', offering a satirical twist on mainstream resorts.

 

From installations on climate change and consumerism to war, surveillance and the ongoing refugee crisis - for many, the dystopian commentary remains equally as poignant today.
