The third mural by the Bogside Artists (after The Petrol Bomber and Bernadette) is “Bloody Sunday” (painted with Sean Loughrey), painted for the 25th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. It reproduces a Fulvio Grimaldi photograph of local priest Edward Daly waving a blood-stained handkerchief in advance of four men carrying the body of Jackie Duddy. The left-most figure has been changed into a British paratrooper, and he is trampling on a “civil rights” banner similar to one used to cover a body. In the background is an image from earlier in the day, of the civil rights march from Creggan to the Bogside.

The Place That Time Forgot

Harryville is an area of Ballymena with a small Catholic population which needed police protection to attend mass. The Independent called it “the town where hatred burns stronger than hope“. With “No RUC”, “No watch towers”, “Free Róisín McAliskey“, and a green ribbon for the campaign to free POWs.
