Painting from the Same Palette

Murals from Loyalist and Republican communities in the north of Ireland/Northern Ireland.

Murals in the north of Ireland/Northern Ireland, which now number over 1700,
have played significant and differing roles within each community over the last
100 years: particularly with regards to the time period during The Troubles (1969-1998) and during the recent transition to peace. They have:
•    Articulated the urgent issues of the day
•    Called people to action
•    Informed international public of injustices
•    Defied censorship
•    Reflected culture and pride
•    Communicated resistance, pain, anger, hope, remembrance, and politics
