Banksy confirms, his are the murals about migrants that appeared in Paris last June 25

Banksy has confirmed the authorship of the murals that appeared in Paris on World Refugee Day last June 25: among others, a little girl covering a swastika with spray paint, a man offering his amputated leg to a dog, a mouse flying over a cork of sparkling wine, and a reinterpretation of Jacques-Louis David ’s Napoleon Crossing the Alps (depicted with his face covered, a probable allusion to the face-covering policies adopted in France in 2010: the theme instead was probably chosen in reference to the journey migrants make across the Alps to get to France).

Confirmation came in recent days from the press office and then, soon after, the elusive street artist, whose name is unknown but who has now become a global art star, posted photos of his work on his Instagram account. Banksy has always been very sensitive on the issue of migrants, and despite the fact that the phenomenon is decreasing compared to past years, the fear of migration is still very high in Europe.
