Nomination
German Podcast Award | 9th of April 2024

Banksy is an anonymous street artist who garners worldwide attention with spectacular actions. His stencil graffiti on topics such as migration, war, and environmental protection adorn walls of buildings, T-shirts, and coffee mugs – fetching record-breaking sums in the millions at auctions. Despite being one of the most influential figures in the international art scene, little is known about Banksy. Many myths surround his identity. In this podcast, Ortrun Schütz tells his story in detail for the first time and asks: Does Banksy want to improve the world or simply make money? To answer this question, she travels around the world and speaks with his friends and foes – in Bristol, New York, the West Bank, and the conflict zone in Ukraine.
