1980 2011 Belfast Mural Troubles
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the powerful and poignant image of the '27th October 1980' mural located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The mural, painted on the side of a building in the Falls Road area, commemorates three IRA volunteers who were killed by the British Army during a raid on a republican hideout on October 27, 1980. The men, known as the 'Ballymurphy Three,' were among the many casualties of the violent and tumultuous period in Northern Irish history known as 'The Troubles.' The mural, created in 2011, is a testament to the enduring memory of these men and the ongoing struggle for peace and self-determination in Northern Ireland. The stark contrast between the vibrant colors of the mural and the drab, gray background of the building on which it is painted serves to highlight the resilience and determination of the community in the face of adversity. The image of the raised clenched fist, a symbol of defiance and solidarity, is a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for justice and equality in Northern Ireland. The photograph, taken in 2011, captures the mural in its full glory, with the intricate details of the artwork clearly visible. The rough texture of the wall and the graffiti surrounding the mural add to the sense of grit and determination that permeates the image. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and often turbulent history of Northern Ireland and the ongoing struggle for peace and reconciliation in the region.
