Set of artists

Mural composed of several different works of art and several artists, from left to right:

1)This mural is part of the "#ProtectPongo" campaign by London artist Louis Masai, which seeks to raise awareness about the devastating effects of palm oil on wild orangutans in 2020.

2)The image shows a work of street art by Banksy, known as "Slave Labour". Original location:

The work appeared in May 2012 on the wall of a Poundland store on Whymark Avenue, Wood Green, London.

Meaning:

It is believed to be a comment on child labor in clandestine workshops and the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II and the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Controversy and removal:

The work was removed from the wall in 2013 and appeared at an auction in Miami, which generated indignation and controversy, although it was finally withdrawn from sale.

Protection:

Shortly after its appearance, the work was covered with a transparent plastic sheet to protect it from damage and vandalism

3) Womp Womp: Turns Out This Mural Londoners Thought Was a Banksy Is Actually Just a Tribute by a Local Fan Artist.

What people thought was a new mural by Banksy in Wood Green North London has turned out to be the work of British artist James Straffon.

The mural, which went up a few days ago, is an homage, Straffon said, to a Banksy work that was stolen from the same spot nine years ago, and to the felling of a statue of Edward Colston in Bristol during the Black Lives Matter protests there in 2020.

4)The image shows a graffiti of a rat holding a sign, which appeared on the wall of a Poundland store in Wood Green, London, in February 2013.

This graffiti of the rat with the sign of "Why?" (Why?) Appeared in the same place where Banksy's famous mural "Slave Labour" was located after the latter was removed.

"Slave Labour" was a criticism of the work in clandestine workshops for the manufacture of souvenirs of the Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Although the rat graffiti was initially attributed to Banksy, a representative of the artist stated that it was a forgery.

Banksy's rat is a recurring motif in his work, symbolizing the marginalized and serving as a voice for the "hated, hunted and persecuted"
