Nancy Spero’s Notes In Time Part II comprises stencils of women from the troubles alongside poems such as Linda Anderson’s Gang-Bang, Ulster Style (about the murder of Ann Ogilby in 1974), and Roisin Cowman’s Dionysia. For history and discussion of the piece, see McGee (1993), Impact And The Visual Arts – Derry 1992 at NCAD.

For a wide shot, see Support Dessie Ellis.

The Union Flag forms a noose around the neck of Dessie Ellis, shown here as being on “hunger-strike day 13” (he would eventually go 35 days before being extradited from the Republic to Britain). See also Support Dessie Ellis and Don’t Hand Him Over.

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
