The Andersonstown RUC station was demolished in 2005 and (according to this Irish Times article) was to be put up for sale. Instead, the area became a site for murals and this large metalwork, with portraits of the hunger strikers on either side of a lark in barbed-wire-style text reading “Free Association”, “Visits and parcels”, “No prison work”, “No prison uniforms”, and “Full Remission”.
The piece was launched on July 4th. For more information about the piece, see the entry in the Viggiani Memorials database. For a history of the site, see the Visual History page at Extramural Activity.
