Guernica

Picasso’s Guernica (WP) was recreated on The International Wall (Divis Street) in 2007 and now (2009) a reference to the deaths in Gaza has been added on the right, in the form of two bombs — one with a swastika and “Guernica ’37” and the other with a Star Of David and “Gaza 2009” — above and below the information plaque (which can be seen in the Peter Moloney Collection).

To the left of the Manchester Martyrs mural. Takes the place of the Bodenstown mural.

The mural was painted by local artists ME, DD, MD, with Conrad Atkinson (middle) and Robert Ballagh (right).
