Banksy is back with 9 new fiery murals in Paris
A load of new Banksy murals have popped up in Paris, France, in the past week.
The works — which are Banksy's first in the French capital — have been interpreted as "taking aim at Europe's migrant crisis and capitalism."

One of the murals — of a veiled figure who appears to be mourning — was discovered on a street behind Le Bataclan concert hall, where a terrorist attack killed 89 people on Nov. 13 2015.

Per the BBC, Banksy's interpretation is "seen as an apparent reference to France's 2010 ban on face coverings in public — most notably the niqab worn by Muslim women."

"Standing by a pile of blankets and a teddy bear, this young black girl painting over a swastika has been seen to reflect the growing numbers of refugees who are sleeping rough along the River Seine," according to the BBC.

Also at the Sorbonne is this mural of a man offering a dog a bone after sawing off its leg. "This is seen as a dig at capitalism and greed in general," says the BBC.
