These were apparently done in Mali in early 2010, but only posted online now. (We’ll debate what he chose to depict another day. Serious.)

I can see it now: Own great art while helping to preserve even greater art! Buy a share of Banksy’s site specific Malian art and help save the Great Mosques of Timbuktu.
Banksy the Bono of African monuments?
These ones are ok wiv me, dig the 1st and 3rd esp, but I dislike the one of the baby boy in the tub. (see link) I saw these a long while back on The Liberator so they’re not ‘only [just] posted’.
i find the 2nd image irritating b/c it’s just another entry in the ‘africa as primitive timeless ahistorical place’ narrative. and i find the 3rd ridiculous b/c there are no zebras in mali. even provocateurs should get their facts right.
You have your facts wrong. This has been online for six months. I’ll pass back with the link later
