Here is Banksy's Christmas gift to the world.
The anonymous street artist spray-painted a couple of reindeer on a brick wall beside a public bench, where the homeless of Birmingham in central England are wont to sleep. A video posted to Banksy’s Instagram FB, +0.69% page shows a man going to sleep on the bench — which, with the reindeer appearing to “pull” it, stands in for Santa’s sleigh. Instead of Santa’s sack of toys, the disheveled man fluffs a sack of his worldly possessions, and uses it as a pillow.
The video went viral, drawing more than 3 million views and 14,000 comments and counting since it was posted on Monday, and fueling the ongoing conversation about the homelessness crisis around the world. Celebrities including Helen Mirren, Will Smith and Brian Cox participated in the 2019 World’s Big Sleepout last Saturday night. They led the more than 50,000 people around the world who spent the night sleeping outside in 60 cities such as New York’s Times Square and London’s Trafalgar Square, to show solidarity with the millions experiencing homelessness and displacement around the world, and to raise money and awareness for homeless outreach.
