About
Dismaland (2015) was Banksy's immersive dystopian art installation held in Weston-super-Mare, UK — billed as 'the UK's most disappointing new visitor attraction.' Running for five weeks, it attracted 150,000 visitors and featured 58 international artists including Damien Hirst and Jenny Holzer. The installation subverted Disney aesthetics with dark, satirical commentary on consumerism, escapism, and modern society. After closing, the materials were shipped to the Calais refugee camp to build shelters.
