Thank you for visiting! Extramural Activity is a web-site providing resources for understanding wall-painting (murals, street art, graffiti, as well as occasional memorials) in Northern Ireland/north-east Ireland, especially Belfast and London-/Derry.
(1) A trio of maps/databases. There is one map showing all the wall-paintings ever, another showing only those that are currently visible in Belfast, and a third showing the history of the ‘Hit The North’ festival.
(2) A set of “Visual Histories“, that is, pages describing and illustrating the history, trends, and common motifs in muraling and street art, e.g. Cú Chulaınn murals, the Bobby Jackson murals, Free Derry Corner, the International Wall, murals with Iron Maiden’s Eddie The Trooper, etc.
The maps and Visual Histories draw on all of the available collections of images of murals. The collections of Peter Moloney | Paddy Duffy | Seosamh Mac Coılle are curated by Extramural Activity. The Seosamh Mac Coılle collection is housed here – scroll down to see the search tools in the side-bar to the right and keep scrolling to see the entries in reverse chronological order.
