From in-depth discussions with cultural historian John Higgs to intimate accounts from Steph Warren, Banksy&#8217;s former employee, the series explores the human being behind the signature stencils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warren&#8217;s recollections provide listeners with a rare insight into the machinations of the secretive artist, delving into everything from Banksy&#8217;s triumphant ascent to his innovative approach to navigating his notoriety. Notably, she talks about the artist&#8217;s vast philanthropic contributions, how he masterfully lured the elite art world into his orbit, and the distinctive way he governs his clandestine universe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Spotlight Stories: Banksy&#8217;s Artistic Journeys and Family Encounters<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the podcast highlights include Warren&#8217;s recounting of Banksy&#8217;s 2005 Crude Oils show, a revealing moment when she first met Banksy&#8217;s father. In a comical turn of events, she explains how Banksy, having told his parents he was merely a &#8220;painter and decorator,&#8221; finally disclosed his real profession during this exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another tantalizing aspect of the podcast is the potential unveiling of Banksy&#8217;s voice. After an audacious series of escapades at New York&#8217;s prestigious art institutions, where Banksy daringly placed his own works, an interview with an individual claiming to be the artist surfaced. A voice, marked by a charming Bristolian twang, recounting the amusing incidents with a witty sense of humor, leads many to believe this could indeed be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/culture.org\/art-and-culture\/banksys-exhibit-cut-run-catch-a-glimpse-of-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banksy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10028,"featured_media":161033,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[410],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-162043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art-and-culture"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162043"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10028"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/culture.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
