Famous street artist Banksy is thought to have created a mural at Marble Arch this spring after the environmental group movement Extinction Rebellion occupied the location for a couple of weeks. The mural appeared during the end of the occupation at Marble Arch. It depicts a child on a beach with the words "from this moment, despair ends and tactics begins". The Extinction Rebellion symbol is a part of the artwork. Next to this mural is a stencil of a jump-roping girl with the jump-rope made into a heart. Banksy has not officially taken credit for the piece, but it is widely-accepted to be his work.
Recently, the artwork has had protective sheeting placed over it to protect it from vandals. Banksy still has not taken credit, but the artist often does create work in conjunction with various causes in the past.
