Art makes us human.

In a world of AI and distraction, let's choose to stay human.

Slow down. Value beauty. Be kind. Care for the planet.

The systems we live in dehumanise us and make us into products.

Be radical. Refuse.

Let creativity and art be our weapons.

Banksy Finally Unmasked? Reuters Investigation Claims to Reveal Graffiti Artist’s True Identity β€œBeyond Dispute” Despite rumors, the U.K.'s most prolific graffiti painter is not Massive Attack frontman Robert Del Naja, according to an extensive report from the wire service.

Why do we care who Banksy actually his. What difference does it make if we know his β€œtrue” identity.

Here is a person who for years has brought us joy, sorrow, and made us think about the world we live in.

That is all we need to know.
