  13. “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” by Banksy

    Banksy's iconic 'I Don’t Believe in Global Warming' artwork in Camden, London, delivers a bold climate message as its red graffiti text submerges under water, symbolizing rising sea levels and the urgent need for action.

  19. Street art has long been a powerful medium for social and political commentary, and few artists have harnessed its potential quite like Banksy.

    Known for his provocative pieces, Banksy challenge societal norms and highlight pressing global issues. One such piece, titled “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming,” remains particularly poignant in today’s climate-sensitive world.

    “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” first appeared on Regent’s Canal in London in 2009.

    This visual metaphor is both striking and powerful, suggesting that denying climate change does nothing to halt its effects, which are visibly rising around us.

    The timing of this piece was no coincidence. It emerged shortly after the Copenhagen UN Climate Summit, a meeting that many deemed unsuccessful in producing concrete solutions to global warming. By placing his message in such a context, Banksy underscored the world’s inadequate response to climate change.

    Fast forward to 2024, and Banksy’s message is as relevant as ever.

    The artwork has become a symbol frequently referenced during climate action events and discussions. During London Climate Action Week 2023, the piece was prominently highlighted to emphasize the ongoing struggle against climate change denial and the urgent need for collective action.

    In 2024, the impacts of climate change are more visible and frequent. From severe weather events to rising sea levels, the urgency to act against global warming has never been more pronounced.

    Banksy’s artwork embodies the sentiment of disbelief and denial that unfortunately still circulates in some parts of society. Yet, it also inspires hope, pushing the narrative that awareness and action can and must rise above the tide of denial.

    Known for his provocative and often subversive pieces, Banksy continues to challenge societal norms and highlight pressing global issues. One such piece, titled “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming,” remains particularly poignant in today’s climate-sensitive world.

    “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” first appeared on Regent’s Canal in London in 2009.

    The artwork features the stark message “I DON’T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING” painted in bold red letters, partially submerged in water. This visual metaphor is both striking and powerful, suggesting that denying climate change does nothing to halt its effects, which are visibly rising around us.

  21. The image shows a real leaf and twig, its painted gold, and it rests on a purple concrete. It's called "Imposter Syndrome." because the leaf looks special but feels it doesn't belong, just like people sometimes do. It's nature on something fake, showing the struggle to fit in.

  28. A fantasia on aphantasia

    Once again, I interrupt my as-yet-still-untitled long-form story to bring you a personal blog post. This one’s not quite an ‘unpost’ but might nevertheless be a bit on the rambly and ill-formed side, hence ‘fantasia’. That’s because it’s a reaction to something I discovered about myself (and everyone else) only yesterday. And when I say yesterday, I literally mean Tuesday 27 November 2018. Mozart’s Fantasia in C minor, K.396 Unlike my unposts, this post has a picture attached. It’s the opening bar of a Mozart fantasia that I enjoy playing on the piano. Fantasias are pieces of music that spring from the imagination and don’t necessarily adhere to any particular compositional form. They’re often more interesting to me than sonatas, for instance, because they take all sorts of unexpected twists and turns. My life has taken quite a few unexpected twists and turns in the last couple of years, and to some extent it’s been a belated voyage of self-discovery for me. But yesterday’s revelation really came completely out of the blue, thanks to a tweet by autistic advocate and academic Shona Davison. She introduced me to the word aphantasia (and the derived word aphantasic). When I was in secondary school, I remember a teacher talking about ‘the mind’s eye’. She said it refers to how we see things in our imagination, but assured us that we don’t actually have an extra eye in our head – it’s just an expression. Fair enough, I thought – I’ll add that to my lexicon. Little did I realise at the time that my entirely abstract conception of the mind’s eye might not have been shared by any of my classmates. I’ve never had any doubt that some people can conjure up vivid images in their heads. People with photographic memory, for instance, or artists who can paint from memory. But these are exceptional people with rare talents. I’ve always assumed that when most people are asked to close their eyes and picture a favourite place, they’re doing much the same thing as me. When I close my eyes, the world goes dark. There are no visual images for me; maybe faint, brief, sub-millisecond flashes of light or shadowy nebulous blobs, but certainly nothing I have any control over. When I ‘picture’ a scene, I work my way around it serially, picking out things and naming them – but never seeing them. Yes, I can imagine some… Continue reading A fantasia on aphantasia →
