Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

The G8 – meeting in Enniskillen next week – have the Earth in a vice and are making its children poor on a diet of “Arms trade, care home closures, bedroom tax, waste incineration, climate change, austerity.” Free Derry Collective

On the rear of Free Derry Corner from the “Free Derry Collective” (who were behind a 2010 board and event marking the centenary of James Connolly’s return to Ireland).

Impunity

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Line drawing in Derry by Carlos Latuff showing an army soldier, with “impunity” across his shoulders, taking aim at a blindfolded woman, representing martyrs’ families.

Latuff is a Brazilian political cartoonist (web site). This piece is outside the Free Museum of Derry. Just out of shot (to the right) is an actual bullet-hole from Bloody Sunday. He also added a drawing to Free Derry corner (M08306). On the same visit (July 2012), he worked in Belfast on a mural expressing solidarity between Palestinian and republican POWs and also did a line drawing on a café wall.

For These Things Do I Weep

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

“1st July 1916. Somme soldiers killed, wounded, missing, 36th (Ulster) Division, 32,186. To the memory and sacrifice of the brave young men from North Antrim who gave their lives with countless others at the Somme and other battles during the Great War 1914-18, to restore peace in Europe. To them bravery was without limit; to us memory is without end.”

With the three verses of John McCrae’s poem ‘In Flanders Fields’.

“”For these things do I weep; my eyes flow with tears.” Lamentations 1 Vs. 16“
