Social engagement

Asking people to respond indirectly is one of those tricks that any Museum should try for social engagement!

It was the funniest one that I visited in 2016 while I had been in Rome.

The exhibition " War Capitalism and Liberty" was a survey of famous British street artist, Banksy’s art at the Palazzo Cipolla that its organizers describe as unauthorized by the artist.

The show includes the whimsical — there are several copies of “Girl With Balloon,” perhaps his best-known piece — as well as social commentary and satire, like the work “Exit Through the Gift Shop,” which is also the title of Banksy’s puzzling 2010 film.

But as you can see from the point of view of visitors that they have drawn on blackboard at the end of the exhibition there are things in common while they express themselves as being Banksy. The motifs are mostly girl or heart which influenced by his famous pieces, and this is the success!

Why? Because as he is the street artist,  the visitor book is only a blackboard, which every visitor has a right to erase each one he wants and draw the new one if he was Banksy!

These are his artworks at war capitalism and liberty exhibition.
