BANKSY IN AGRIGENTO

For the first time in Italy, at Agrigento Italian Capital of Culture, after having touched 17 French cities, attracting 370 thousand visitors and nearly 400 thousand euros donated to associative projects.

The doormat with the word Welcome cut from the strips of migrants’ life jackets, the shots of the latest work by Banksy in London, erased but resurfaced as if it were a ghost; many works that tell the story of Ukraine according to Banksy’s thought; the shot for a GreenPeace campaign against deforestation blocked by Disney and never published, the Three Wise Men passing through a security check.

Banksy in Agrigento, promoted and organized by the Fondazione Agrigento Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2025 in collaboration with Banksy Modeste Collection, will be open from December 4 to 21, every day from 9 to 11 for schools and from 11 to 19 for the public, with special evening openings on December 6 and 20 from 11 to 22 with continuous hours. Admission – following Banksy’s line that art should be accessible to all – is free.

The declared goal is to create an opportunity for reflection on the contradictions of our time and to promote radical social change.
