Another RNU piece, this time a board a short way in front of The Peace Mural by The Bogside Arists on Rossville Street in Londonderry. The line describing the outline of the dove then turns into an oak leaf, which is a symbol of the city. The piece was recreated in Washington, D.C., in 2007 (image 30 in this set).

Line drawing in Derry/Doıre by Carlos Latuff showing an army soldier, with “impunity” across his shoulders, taking aim at a blind-folded woman, representing martyrs’ families.
Latuff is a Brazilian political cartoonist (web site). This piece is outside the Free Museum of Derry (pictures of the piece in progress). Just out of shot (to the right) is an actual bullet-hole from Bloody Sunday. He also added a drawing to Free Derry corner (M08306). On the same visit (July 2012), he worked in Belfast on a mural expressing solidarity between Palestinian and republican POWs and also did a line drawing on a café wall. (See also: Latuff cartoon used in a flyer for a rally to End Impunity.)

A version of Picasso’s Guernica next to the Museum Of Free Derry, in Glenfada Park in the Bogside. The original is black and white and grey, as in the mural on the International Wall, but here has been coloured in a palette that matches the colour of the wall. Modern-looking aeroplanes, one dropping bombs, have also been added at the top of the image – the bombing took place in 1937, during the Spanish civil war – and the scene seems to be outdoors, rather than indoors.
