This artwork was done in Dismaland in 2015.

In many ways, Banksy also uses the symbol of the rat as a way of aligning himself with the wretched and the underdogs whom he often speaks about or on behalf of in his works.

Dismaland was a temporary art project organised by street artist Banksy, that opened during the weekend of 21 August 2015 and closed permanently on September 27, 2015, 36 days later. Banksy described it as a: Family theme park unsuitable for children.
