Banksy...or should we say, 'Professor Banksy', is being recognised for his humanitarian efforts and impact on the global art scene.
"Banksy has been overlooked in the past. He's a bit of an art world outsider in terms of the elite of the art world.
"But he's certainly impacted the art world and the general public's imagination, and we wanted to mark that at our university." Prof Perk said UCA had contacted Banksy via his representatives, and he had "acknowledged our intention" to confer the award. Professor Bashir Makhoul, UCA's president and vice-chancellor, said: "He is an example that UCA students can look up to, who uses his talents to disrupt the status quo, while challenging us all to confront some of the key issues of our time - war and peace, inequality - and art's role as a vehicle of social expression."
