Ten Hunger Strikers

Extramural Activity1 Comment

The lower part of the long wall in Bishop Street, Derry, in 1988. From left to right: a funeral volley fired over a scroll (blank in the first shot, filled-in in the fifth; Cú Chulaınn dying; portraits of the ten deceased 1981 hunger strikers; Bobby Sands’s “spirit of freedom” quote (shown in the final image) which concludes “I remain what I am – a political prisoner of war”; a celtic cross; “Free All POWs” (similar image to Racecourse Road); and a lark in barbed wire over a Tricolour.

For the inclusion of Cú Chulaınn in this mural, see the Visual History page.

Three in a row, and a wide shot, from Racecourse Road, Derry. Two for the green ribbon campaign to release republican POWs – the ribbon itself is bursting through prison gates in a blaze of sunshine – and the Slán Abhaıle mural previously seen in 1994.

Two images from the Sinn Fein [sic – Sınn Féın] office on the Falls Road, Belfast. A dove (inside a braided circle) carries a tricoloured ribbon. To the right is a list of prisoners, seen previously in 1995’s Sınn Féın Peace Action Monitor.
