venture into art
Controversial British graffiti artist Banksy uses his art to make a point about society. Some of his favored themes addressed include world poverty, anti-war, non-conformity, and human rights. In his exhibits, he tends to use live animals. (See the "elephant in the room" exhibit that was intended to draw attention to world poverty.)
On his website, Banksy includes cuttings from papers and magazines that reference his work. One such article discusses how an animal rights activist chained herself to an exhibit in which he used live farm animals. She is quoted as saying:
It is disgusting that these animals are being used as a blank canvas. This is one of the worst cases of exploitation that I have ever come across. They are being kept in cramped conditions just for the purposes of entertainment--it's disgraceful.
I wonder what this activist has to say about human trafficking.
