Gavin Grindon is an art historian and curator who has spent over twenty years researching, writing on and participating in activist art. He has curated multiple exhibitions on the subject, including 'Disobedient Objects' at the V&A, the 'political art' sections of Banksy's 'Dismaland' installation in Somerset, UK, and the museum in Banksy's 'Walled Off Hotel' in Bethlehem. Banksy is an urban artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity. Banksy's work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, and his graffiti art has since become a worldwide phenomenon.
