Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by Viva Hate on Dec 3, 2007 1:46:34 GMT 1, I do agree with what people are saying, but in the end of the day although they are donating a piece of art to the 'local people' this is great PR for them and there going to make a fortune out of the prints, so really its exploiting the situation for personal gain. BOGUS -1 for POW.
Adam-I really dont think POW did it for PR reasons

although it will get them in the papers, anything banksy does gets noticed so if he's going to do something, he may as well make a point and have an impact and raise awareness.

That's definatly a different spin on it, but I think that is a bit harsh saying that they are expoiting for personal gain.
I have never been there, but do know that the place is in a bad situation so for POW to say they are going to be donating to helping, that is only a good thing.
"Every shekel made in the store will be used on local projects for children and young people. Not one cent will go to any political groups, governmental institutions or,
in fact, any grown-ups at all."

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by graeme501 on Dec 3, 2007 1:52:14 GMT 1, does nobody feel bad that when the prints start being sold, this is all that will b talked about is the prints and the situation over there will b glossed over
what about a kinda forum volentary donation, say whatever u spend on prints, a 5% or 10% donation could be made to a charity over there
or is this a terrible idea ?

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by snakes on Dec 3, 2007 1:53:17 GMT 1, What will be interesting with this Ghetto being online is when people will actually get their prints.
The last two big POW releases (Micallef & Banksy) have taken up to and the best part of a month or maybe a bit longer to reach the buyers.
Here we have numerous releases, possibly 2 micallefs, one or more Banksy's, so flippers beware as you may be waiting well into the New Year for those prints to arrive at the earliest!

Banksy's Santas Ghetto Bethlehem, by adamdavis on Dec 3, 2007 1:58:07 GMT 1, Well it is a massive PR stunt as the ghetto is all about raising awareness, which ultimately make them much more famous, just think how many people are gonna go on the ghetto/pow website, and just how many more people are gonna be after prints which they make next year.
Oxford street is a great location in the retail biz as it has incredible footflow, i would not be suprised if this makes international press.
Just consider how much an advert on CH4 costs, free advertising on the CH4 news, sky etc.. is definetly cheaper than the cost of the show.
I am not being a hater, but POW and all the artists will be laughing all the way to the bank next year!

Most of the artists are doing very well financially. Is it not just possible that they just thought it would be an amazing & worthwhile experience? I can't believe you think that taking 20 artists to the middle east & opening a shop in Palestine has been done for financial reasons!
