Meaning of "Banksy’s your bag"?

Question

In the article about [Dismaland](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2015/08/dismaland/) there is a paragraph saying: > Inside the walls of a derelict seaside swimming resort in> Weston-super-Mare, UK, mysterious construction over the last> month—including a dingy looking Disney-like castle and a gargantuan> rainbow-colored pinwheel tangled in plastic—suggested something big> was afoot. Suspicion and anticipation surrounding the unusual activity> attributed to fabled artist and provocateur Banksy has reached a Willy> Wonka-esque fervor. Well, if **Banksy’s your bag**, continue> fervoring. If not, there’s more than a few reasons to continue> reading.I don't really get the meaning. Does it refer to people buying souvenirs there and stocking them in their bags? I'd be glad for any help.

Hi!

This was quite a descriptive article! "Bansky" is apparently the name of an artist mentioned in the article. When someone says something or someone is "your bag", they mean that it's something you are really interested in, prefer, or enjoy. So when the writer of the article says "If Bansky's your bag, continue fervoring", they are saying that if you really like Bansky or his work, then continue fervoring. If you do not prefer Bansky, then he's not "your bag."
