Meaning & Analysis
Banksy's 2006 Festival print, part of the "Barely Legal" exhibition portfolio, depicts members of various subcultures purchasing anti-capitalist t-shirts. The unsigned edition of 500 draws a parallel between the artwork's subjects and the exhibition attendees, heightening the irony of Banksy’s critique of consumerist hypocrisy.
Festival (Destroy Capitalism) depicts a group of people at a music festival queuing up to buy t-shirts. The words “Destroy Capitalism” can be read on a bright red T-shirt that is the only colourful, central element on the image. The artwork was made for Banksy’s iconic American exhibition, Barely Legal which took place in a warehouse in LA in 2006. Festival screen prints were part of Banksy’s Barely Legal Print Set, a set of six prints which includes the works Applause, Grannies, Morons, Trolleys and Sale Ends.
