Bernadette

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment
The new Bernadette mural on Lecky Road, London-/Derry/Doire is considerably lighter than its predecessor (which can be seen at Peter Moloney Collection). The scene is still the Battle of the Bogside, after which Devlin was served six months for inciting a riot, but Bernadette, with megaphone, herself is in red while the woman with the bin lid is wearing blue jeans. The bulldog and the child in yellow carrying the bin lid like the shield of a Celtic warrior are new additions.

Éistigí

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment
Éistigí, or “listen, yous-uns” in London-/Derry/Doire, is a Republican youth organisation. Judging from the red star, it promotes a socialist ideology. If you can shed more light than that, please get in touch.

Nora & Ina

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment
This year’s Féile An Phobail saw the launch of a new stained glass window in Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich. It features James Connolly (Séamus Ó Conghaile 1868-1916) for his support of the Irish language and the support his two daughters Nora and Ina gave to the founding of the Gaelic League (Conradh na Gaeilge) in Belfast. The family is also featured in the centenary mural on Divis Street: Shan Van Vocht and Howth Gun Running. Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (tw).

Where Is The Integrity In Murder?

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Twenty-five victims of five “Shankill atrocities” – at the Four Step Inn, the Balmoral Furniture Store, Mountainview Bar, Bayardo Bar, and (from the 1990s) Frizzell’s fish shop – are remembered in an updated board in Dundee Street. The central image remains 17-month-old Colin Nichol in the arms of ambulance man Bob Scott. (See below for the previous version. Before that, there was a painted version on Bellevue Street: Where is our truth?)

“30 years of indiscriminate slaughter by so-called non-sectarian Irish freedom fighters. Provisional Sinn Fein demands “equality/respect/integrity”. No military targets! No economic targets! No legitimate targets! No enquiries! No truth! No justice! Where is the “equality” in justice? Where is the “respect” for Protestants? Where is the “integrity” in murder? We remember the victims of Provisional Sinn Fein genocide.”

Free T Taylor

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment
RNU member Tony Taylor was jailed for three years in 2011 for possession of a rifle and had his early release license revoked in 2016 and returned to Maghaberry. Over the last month, both Sinn Féin and SDLP politicians in Belfast and London-/Derry have called for him to be either charged or released, alleging that his detention is contrary to section 6 of the Human Rights Act (Irish News | Derry Now | Derry Now). Gael Force Art (Fb) took to Sliabh Dubh/Black Mountain to highlight the case.

Sculptor Elaine Taylor (Tw | Fb) makes creations out of wire (see images at Studio Souk). For her Hit The East mural she has created what looks like a wire robot monster rising out of the lough to terrorise east Belfast.
