Having created a large, 3D make-believe version of the Monopoly game board with a dejected, panhandling Rich Uncle Pennybags, the famous artist not only comments on the current state of affairs, but also shows his "support for their protest against [corporate greed and corruption](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1)," according to Demotix. The Banksy Monopoly sculpture also shout-outs certain companies, organizations and more on the board. For instance, the Banksy Monopoly sculpture features some graffiti scrawled across a signature red hotel, which reads TOX. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anonymous Street Art:** Opportunities to create disruptive innovations that incorporate anonymity and social commentary into art and advertising. - **Anti-corporate Sentiment:** Opportunities to harness the growing sentiment among consumers for anti-corporate messaging in advertising and products. - **3D Art Installations:** Opportunities to create disruptive 3D art installations that comment on current social and political issues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Galleries:** Opportunities for progressive galleries that exhibit work from anonymous street artists to tap into the growing interest in this type of art. - **Advertising:** Opportunities for innovative advertising agencies that embrace anti-corporate sentiment and leverage it to create captivating and socially-conscious campaigns. - **Event Planning:** Opportunities for event planners to incorporate thought-provoking, 3D art installations into events to create a memorable and immersive experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Remixed Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tokidoki-edition-monopoly.md) - [Boardgame-Inspired Lifesize Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-lifesized-travel-edition.md) - [Tree-Integrated Mysterious Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tree-mural.md) - [Deceptive Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-crooked-cash.md) - [Artistic Board Game Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-deluxe-edition.md) - [Board Game-Themed Dynamic Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-collection.md) - [Villainous Board Game Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-all-is-fair.md) - [Collectible Anniversary Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-90th.md) - [Adult-Exclusive Reimagined Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-crawl.md)
