Free The POWs

A collage of image from the previous 30 years, including banging bin-lids on the ground, Maıréad Farrell in Armagh prison, men on the blanket, the cages of Long Kesh, marches in support of the hunger strikers, and reproductions of various posters, against Margaret Thatcher, plastic bullets, internment, and censorship. There’s a quote from Bob Dylan in the middle, “How many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn’t see – the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.”

Light through prison bars illuminates a prostrate hunger striker attended by two women, one of whom wears a headscarf in the tricolours – this board is from 1986. Below it (visible in the wide shot) is an earlier Easter Rising commemoration mural (from 1991) with portraits of the seven signatories to the proclamation arranged around a large lily.
