Instead of Sky News and the Sun newspaper (panel 1) and an environment of “unemployment, emigration, boredom, YTP [youth training programmes]” (panel 2), Shantallow youth want a future of “Saoırse, dignity, peace, democracy, justice, freedom” (panel 3). The figures are in the colours of the Irish Tricolour and a sunburst forms a backdrop. Moyola Drive, Derry

Anyone know these artists? A mural in progress in Drumleck Gardens, Derry. Bobby Sands’s use of the lark as the “spirit of freedom” is combined with a James Connolly quote: “There is no power on Earth [or: There is no outside force] capable of enforcing slavery on a people really resolved to be free, [and] valuing freedom more than life.”

Five in a row in Moyola Drive, Derry: Briogáid Doire with crossed rifles and oak leaves; [a Tricolour – no separate image]; “the cutting edge” weaponry; a Sunburst; and, a celtic cross flying Starry Plough and Tricolour with the names of the deceased 1981 hunger strikers.
