Banksy came to Woodside yesterday, and so did all the cool kids. People taking pictures with themselves and the piece. Mulling around, confusing a large amount of the locals. One kid rode by on a bike shouting “Its a FAKE!” I enjoyed the piece, and the general antics surrounding Banksy’s NYC Residency. For some reason I kept making a connection between the piece, the crowd, and the Police bulletin about the missing autistic teenager Avonte Oquendo from Long Island City. I’m know its just my brain trying to make a connection, but there was something there that just made me pause. Much ado about affluence and apathy.
