Upside-down art world with Banksy in Porto till 28 July

Banksy's work is in Porto in photographic form to lead audiences in the exploring of the Banksy phenomenon until 28 July.

The exhibition "Banksy's Dismaland and Others", by the iconic British street artist Banksy, which is on display at Porto Customs Building, will continue to be on show in Porto, till the end of July due to the great number of visitors.

The exhibit features photographs of Banksy's "Dismaland" (2015), with photos by Barry Cawston.

Dismaland was presented as an "art festival and amusement park", featuring "beginners' anarchy". It was open for five weeks only and with a limited number of entrances.

Banksy stirred things up completely by creating a "bemusement park" as opposed to a place of an amusement park in the British coastal city of Weston-super-Mare near Bristol.

This park was created as a Disneyland-satire. Over 40 artists participated in the project, including the Portuguese artist Wasted Rita.

"This powerful exhibit intends to take audiences through the phenomenal work of an artist that has been using his art for more than 25 years to question the values of society", as stated by the organisation.

Barry Cawston is unofficially considered the "official photographer of Banksy's artwork, as the mysterious artist has often published his photos in his own website.
