Picnic, 2006

Banksy’s satirical Picnic contrasts a group of indigenous African hunter-gatherers bewildered by the picnic of a White middle-class urban family picnicking on the beach. The contrast of civilizations and technologies suggests irreconcilable differences that as of civilizations. Oblivious of the hunter-gathers, the family is at ease and enjoying the beach. To the hunter-gathers, the family might as well be extraterrestrials.
