GUEST,coyote breath - sometimes a guest Pictures of Ulster (17) RE: Pictures of Ulster 03 Mar 02


I am grateful to LJC for the link. I have seen other murals. The main diffrences I see are these: The loyalist murals seem to convey a feeling of "we won!" and the republican murals seem to answer: "yeah, through institutionalized injustice!" There are many murals in republican areas though, some of which speak to injustice in places other than the North. I especially like the very well designed and stunningly executed mural that asks support for Leonard Peltier and AIM. Wouldn't it be great if we could do a "Mural Tour" and appreciate them for their art and consider the politics only from it's influence on the artists? I've always appreciated "engaged art" even when I disagreed with who did it and who it was done for.
