Guantanamo Bay Detainee
Guantanamo Bay Detainee
Year: 2005
Location: Islington, England
The war on terror was declared soon after 9/11. This Banksy piece is intended to highlight the “secret” war on terror that has taken place – primarily at Guantanamo Bay where terror suspects are detained.
This Guantanamo Bay Detainee in Islington is a less than subtle reminder that we do not live an entirely free society. The image has since been removed although its precise location in Islington is unknown.
