Dismaland

My good friend, Karen, managed to get tickets to the ever-popular temporary Banksy installation, Dismaland. Set up as a theme park, a parody of Disneyland, this derelict seafront town on the west coast of England was transformed into a major art experience unlike any other. The anti-establishment message was exhibited in bold ways all throughout. It was fascinating and disturbing all in one. Of course the rage against the machine theme was punctuated with a pricey souvenir shop at the end, so very ironic! Not ideas I necessarily agree with, but well worth the visit and so glad I was invited! And even better was the chance to have a much-needed fun day out with friends away from work and life!
