ABOUT THE ART
'Santa’s Ghetto' was a “squat art concept store” set up at Christmas each year from 2002-07 in different locations around London (save for 2007, when he took the show to Bethlehem). It was a group exhibit featuring all the artists represented by Pictures on Walls. This is where Banksy released some of his most iconic prints, editions, and originals.
“The Ghetto is a squat art concept store that opens for the month of December.
It features some of the world’s finest underground artists and attempts to bring an even greater sense of disillusionment to the whole West End shopping experience.
It exhibits work that has never been seen before, sells a range of affordable art, and produces some rather dubious novelty merchandise”
