Uncovering Banksy: Turning the World's Most Famous Street Artist Pro-Israel

Craig Dershowitz of Artists 4 Israel on how to read Banksy's work — and on the trajectory that took the world's most famous street artist toward supporting Israel.

Speaker

  • Craig Dershowitz

    CEO, Artists 4 Israel; President, Healing Arts Kits and Healing Ink

    Dershowitz has worked with more than 2,000 artists from over 32 countries across four continents, using art as a tool for social change. One Israel Fund gave him its Defender of Israel award, the Jerusalem Post named him in its 36 Under 36, and the Algemeiner listed him among the 100 most influential Jewish minds. He got his start in the field in his early twenties, helping a Holocaust survivor write his memoirs.

Banksy’s installations make headlines every year, and a good number of them are about Israel. Craig Dershowitz came to take an Atlanta audience past the headlines: how Banksy found his voice, how to read the technique, and what changed in his work.

AIC ran it with Americans United with Israel. The session was deliberately never recorded — it was live or not at all — and eight organizations helped promote it.
