When the Belgian duo Guitar y Banjo arrived at the museum, they decided that this time they wouldn’t paint something that was just beautiful, but something that could be seen as a statement.

“We painted this boat full of migrants, and it was hard. Hard because what is a painting worth, facing the amount of despair these guys go through? Who were we to pretend to express something about their pain?” / Guitar y Banjo
