Louise Michel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a civilian search-and-rescue vessel funded by Banksy and launched on a humanitarian mission in the Mediterranean Sea in August 2020. Named after the 19th-century French anarchist and feminist Louise Michel, the vessel was established to assist refugees and migrants attempting dangerous sea crossings to Europe. Banksy financed the project and contributed its distinctive visual identity, including a striking pink-and-white exterior and imagery associated with his signature street-art aesthetic. The initiative brought international attention to the ongoing Mediterranean refugee crisis and demonstrated the artist's commitment to activism beyond traditional public artworks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eM.V.
