Unsigned, Unnumbered printers proof // HMV Dog by Banksy is a 2004 screen-print that plays with the iconic image of a dog listening to a gramophone, originally used in advertisements for HMV (His Master’s Voice). In Banksy's version, the dog is humorously depicted holding a bazooka aimed at the gramophone, a subversive twist that critiques consumer culture and the commodification of art. The stark contrast of black and white adds to the simplicity and immediacy of the visual message, while the dark humor invites viewers to question authority and the role of media in shaping public perception.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
