Banksy’s New Christmas Mural in Birmingham

British artist Banksy has realized his latest piece in the streets of Birmingham, highlighting the growing homelessness crisis in the country.

Officially announced on his Instagram account on December 9, 2019, the artist filmed a homeless man called Ryan settling down for the night on a city bench, which appears to be pulled like Santa’s sleigh into the sky by two prancing reindeer painted on the wall. Titling the work “God bless Birmingham”, Banksy pays tribute to the people who stopped to give Ryan a hot drink.
