Banksy voice for Floyd against racism

(ANSA) - ROME, JUNE 6 - Even the voice of Banksy - the artist without a name followed by millions of followers - has risen, powerful, against the racism generated by the 'white system' to pay tribute to George Floyd and to make the its proximity to the riots that are spreading across the world from Minneapolis. Banksy's work - published on his Instagram profile - consists of a stylized face wrapped in darkness with two light slits for the eyes. The face is framed, leaning against a wall on which an American flag hangs. Next to the frame there are flowers, without color, and a lit candle from whose flame the star flag draws begins to catch fire. After the power of the image, that of words. Banksy said that at first he thought he was limited to listening to the reasons of African Americans on this issue. But then the artist confesses that he understood that that problem was a problem created by the "whites" and that therefore "it was their turn to solve it".
