Hey, we were right to call it Banksy’s London Street Zoo all along. After 8 days of painting around London with different stenciled animals, today, Day 9, sees Banksy head to the London Zoo to paint a gorilla letting the animals out of confinement. If this is the last day of the Street Zoo, it has actually been a nice distraction during the doldrums of summer art activity, a good reminder of the animals we have captured and kept in captivity would much rather be roaming free, a good conversation to have with the kids about the environment and climate change. Perhaps even better just a wink to treat the streets as a giant playground, as it should always have intended to be for the birth of creativity. (And selfishly I now want a documentary on all the random people who have shown up in these photos.) —Evan Pricco
