[ DESCRIPTION ]
A large-scale "bemusement park" — a dystopian parody of Disneyland, featuring works by 58 artists across a derelict seaside site.
[ CRITICAL ANALYSIS ]
Banksy's most ambitious project, Dismaland lasted five weeks and attracted over 150,000 visitors. It functioned as a full-scale satirical exhibition — a counterpoint to the sanitised joy of commercial theme parks, addressing inequality, the refugee crisis, and entertainment culture.
