gettin jiggy with it

‘Tree of Life’ screen, Sidi Sayyid mosque in the city of Ahmadabad (Western India).

Lotus ceiling, carved from stone, Eastern Rajasthan (Northeastern Madhya Pradesh), 11th-12th century, India.

I spent Thanksgiving in western North Carolina – the home of the Blue Ridge Mountains, American idol winner Caleb Johnson, and a strange looking creature called the hellbender. It’s the canary in the coal mine for Appalachia’s streams, and Appalachia’s streams aren’t doing so well, so hellbenders are near threatened.

listen i get it. i get why everyone is annoyed with Banksy and is sort of disowning him. i understand why people are over him. I GET IT.

but come ON.

it’s not just Banksy that’s involved with Dismaland. i’m thinking it was essentially his idea, but he’s using it to host OTHER ARTISTS. from AROUND THE WORLD. he only has about three or four pieces throughout the show.

there are Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, and TALENTED FEMALE artists showing their pieces in the Dismaland gallery and throughout the park that you’re tearing down because ‘Banksy is SO pretentious’ or whatever trendy thing you think you’re submitting to. Banksy himself said that he’s trying to do something different BECAUSE he realizes that his artwork is the view point of a middle class white dude.
