Murals in Northern Ireland
BackTHe murals of Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the province's past and present divisions. Northern Ireland contains arguably the most famous political murals in the world. Almost 2,000 murals have been documented in Northern Ireland since the 1970s. Although the murals more often than not represent one side's political point of view, they are renowned for their professional nature and the notable level of skill of the artists creating them. Almost all of the Northern Ireland murals promote either republican or loyalist political beliefs, often glorifying paramilitary groups such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army and the Ulster Volunteer Force, while others commemorate people who have lost their lives in paramilitary or military attacks. The most famous of the murals in Northern Ireland may well be Free Derry Corner, where the slogan "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" was painted in 1969, shortly after the Battle of the Bogside. However, some do not consider Free Derry Corner to be a true mural as it is only words and not images. Free Derry Corner has been used as a model for other murals in Northern Ireland, including the "You Are Now Entering Loyalist Sandy Row" mural in Belfast, which was a response to the republican message of Free Derry Corner, and the "You Are Now Entering Derry Journal Country" mural, which is an advertisement for a Derry publication.
