The World of Banksy - The Immersive Experience

Who is Banksy? Banksy is the name of this mysterious artist whose graffiti art and poetic
stencils cover walls in major cities and capitals of the world. No one knows who he really is,
but everyone knows his name.

For the first time in the Emirates, the unique exhibition “The World of Banksy - The Immersive Experience” is devoted to the world-famous street artist, and reveals over 120 works spread in a gallery of over 1000sqm. The reproductions of graphic murals will enable visitors to rediscover the Girl with a Balloon, the Flower Thrower, the Mobile Lovers, and many other works by Banksy.

The exhibition is set up on the basis of the geographical distribution of Banksy's works. The countries covered are the United Kingdom, the United States of America, France (Paris), Canada, Australia, and Mali. Most of the murals have disappeared, but the exhibition makes them live again. It is a journey through time and places.

With over 500,000 visitors in 5 major cities in Europe (Paris, Barcelona, Prague, Milano, Brussels), the exhibition “The World of Banksy - The Immersive Experience” has been a successful event throughout the years. It has gathered visitor categories from art lovers and connoisseurs to curious discoverers, from very young boys and girls to older Banksy fans, from friends enjoying an impressive experience to families going out for a cultural happening. The feedback and comments have been glowing and there has been enthusiastic word-of-mouth praise since the beginning of this adventure. More Banksy exhibitions in Europe and in the world will soon open.

A photography exhibition will be hosted within “The World of Banksy” exhibition. Philippe Bernaerts, a famous Belgian photographer will be presenting a series of documentary pictures about street and city atmospheres. Moreover, as a premier, Philippe Bernaerts will be working on a photography project dedicated to Dubai that will be shown for the first time during the exhibition.

The world has changed irreparably, but there is one thing we all still agree on. There is nothing like a good laugh, especially with other people. It stops us from taking life and ourselves too seriously. Laughter is the shortest distance between people and closing the gap faster than a rocket to Mars, the Laughter Factory has searched the globe to bring three of the world’s most outrageous stand ups, to shake the cobwebs off your tonsils.
Playing a part in the ‘Dubai Comedy Festival’ meant that the Laughter Factory had to use their 25 years in the business, to source some of the best international comedy talent, that the region has ever hosted.
Headlining their ‘Downright Nasty!’ tour is comedy bad boy and writer Agnostino Zoida. This Italian-American-born LA resident contributed to shows such as “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” “Louie” and “American Horror Story”. Expect a no-holes-barred show, full of absolute wickedness, delivered by a genuinely gifted performer.
Next on the bill, fantastically funny, George Zach was lured by the idea of living in the country of Hugh Grant, Mr. Bean, and Lady Diana; Due to the family budget, however, instead of living it large in Notting Hill, he ended up in Newcastle Upon-Tyne. Get ready for your organs to burst with laughter, when you hear the tales of his unconventional journey into live stand up.
Our final act in May, hailing from Estonia and just returned from a year in Vancouver, Canada, Ari Matti Mustonen has a bright future ahead of him. With enough on-stage energy, to power a small town and punch lines to match, Ari has been enthralling audiences around the world with stories about life growing up in Eastern Europe.
Forget about your problems. Come and witness the mayhem. The time has come to be happy!!!
