中英對照讀新聞》Banksy’s activism is his greatest work 班克西的激進主義是他最棒的作品

◎黃靖媗

Banksy’s latest project—funding a refugee rescue boat named Louise Michel after the 19th-century French anarchist—may be his greatest work yet.

班克西的最新計畫，資助一艘以19世紀法國無政府主義者路易斯．米歇爾命名的難民救援船，可能是他至今最棒的作品。

Since setting off a week ago from the Spanish seaport of Burriana, the boat, which is registered in Germany and manned by a crew of activists from across Europe led by Pia Klemp, has rescued more than 150 people off the coast of Libya.

自從一週前從西班牙海港布里亞納啟航，這艘在德國註冊、配置由皮亞．克倫普領導的歐洲運動家們組成的團隊的船，已在利比亞海灘救援逾150人。

Banksy’s involvement in the Louise Michel mission dates back to last autumn, when he opened a pop-up shop in Croydon and announced his intention to purchase a "new migrant rescue boat" using the proceeds from sales.

班克西參與路易斯．米歇爾任務可以追溯到去年秋天，當時他在克洛伊頓開了一間快閃店，並宣布他想用銷售的收益，購買一艘「新的移民救援船」。

His history of working to highlight the plight of refugees stretches back much further.

他致力強調難民困境的紀錄可以追溯至更久以前。
