When Banksy’s provocative art meets the world-renowned Glastonbury Festival, the result is a potent fusion of creativity, activism, and social commentary. The crowd surfing inflatable depicts a packed migrant boat, a powerful commentary on the current refugee crisis.
Amidst the pulsating energy of the crowd, Banksy’s enigmatic intervention unfolded. A dinghy, crowded with powerful symbolism, emerged, navigating its way through the sea of festival attendees. Onlookers were gripped as the dinghy, depicting the harrowing journey of migrants seeking refuge, resembled a vessel adrift in turbulent waters. Its presence was a stark reminder of the perilous voyages undertaken by those searching for safety and hope.

As the dinghy seemed engulfed by the heaving sea of festival revellers, a profound spectacle unfurled. Like a metaphorical act of solidarity, many hands emerged and lifted the dinghy, symbolising the collective effort and compassion needed to rescue those in distress.
