This artwork was done in Dismaland in 2015.


Banksy’s satirization of their familial relationship, with Mary feeding Jesus poison, is not only a social critique on the toxicity of religion but also on the relationship between mother and son.


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.
