Description
One of the many famous Political Murals from the Bogside area of Derry in Northern Ireland. These Murals tell the political story of the Irish Nationalist / Republican community of the Bogside during the recent period of conflict known locally as the "Troubles". These Murals are a major tourist attraction as well as recounting historic events and individuals. The Murals were painted by local people known as the Bogside Artists and the material was fund raised by or donated by local residents. This particular Mural depicts "Resistance", in the form of a local Nationalist youth, with brick in hand resisting the British Army in their 3 Tonne "Humber Pig" Armoured Personnel Carrier. A familiar scene in the Bogside and other parts of the North of Ireland during the period known as the "Troubles".
