🎧 Episode 1 – Blur x Banksy: When Britpop Met Street Art

In this debut episode of Art on Air, we dive into the rebellious spirit of Blur’s Think Tank and the unexpected visual voice behind its cover — the elusive street artist Banksy.

How did a Britpop band known for its colorful sound end up with a raw, stencil-style cover that felt more protest than pop? Why did Banksy, famously anti-corporate, agree to the job? And how does the Think Tank artwork reflect the tension, experimentation, and political undercurrents of the early 2000s?

Host and visual artist Rachel Coltz unpacks the story behind the music and the mural — from record label drama to guerrilla art — in a storytelling journey that bridges graffiti and guitar riffs.

Press play and discover the moment when the underground world of street art burst into the mainstream — one stencil at a time.
