By Matthias Lai

2. What Happened?
On September 12 to 15, many of the world's largest arms companies came together in London, England to showcase their newest weapons and technology to world leaders
Many people protested the fair because the world leaders include people who have abused human rights in the past
Many famous artists, including Guerrilla Girls, Peter Kennard, Darren Cullen, Banksy and more contributed pieces protesting the fair to an art festival called the "Art the Arms Fair"

Banksy and other famous artists contributed art to The Art the Arms Fair, which was auctioned to support anti-arms fair organizations
Banksy created an image of drones destroying a crudely drawn child's house while she and her dog look on
Banksy then donated it to be auctioned for human rights organizations and raised around £205,000
