About this artwork

Banksy's "Choose Your Weapon" was spotted on a wall in London's Southwark District in 2010. On this stencil we see a white barking dog on a chain. The dog pays homage to the late Keith Haring, who was famous for his pop art paintings. The man holding the chain is wearing a hoodie and a scarf in front of his face. The dog is his weapon. The man represents Banksy, who uses art as his own weapon to raise awareness about social issues like war, poverty and injustice.
