New Artwork by Banksy Depicts Steve Jobs as a Refugee


A new artwork from Banksy depicts Steve Jobs as a refugee. The mural can be seen in the Calais refugee camp, and refers to Jobs heritage as the son to a Syrian migrant.


The piece reference the late Apple co-founder's heritage, as he was the son of a Syrian migrant who moved to the US following the Second World War. The anonymous artist released a statement alongside the unveiling of the artwork, saying: "We're often led to believe migration is a drain on the country's resources but Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian migrant. Apple is the world's most profitable company, it pays over $7bn (£4.6bn) a year in taxes – and it only exists because they allowed in a young man from Homs."
