This weekend sees the launch of ‘Against The Wall’, a book on the work of artists both local and international that has turned the infamous wall erected by the Israeli state into a blank art canvas to work from. Sometimes humour shines through, more often anger. Among the graffiti artists to add to the wall one finds the likes of household name Banksy and Ron English.
Before the book launch there will be accompanying events where street art inspired by the book will be painted at The Bernard Shaw pub. This will take place on Friday October 15 from 3pm.
Following this event, the book will be launched at Connolly Books, East Essex Street at 6.30pm.
More information is available from the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign over here.

Come Here To Me! 
at least 400 sheets for Banksy to fly from London to Tel Aviv while it’d be a fraction to go to Belfast. Why doesn’t he paint some of the ‘peace lines’ in parts of HM Empire before going to Palestine ?!?

1983 the fisrt large figure in the life size I have make in the sreet. This is an old Irish man yelling against English soldiers in Belfast in the seventie’s.The man is very brave because the soldie couleur rs are very nervous trying to shoot with their guns some guys from the IRA.The photo was incredible strong.I always been fascinated by the people at the risk of one’s life do not hesitate to say what they think. I still use this image in this time and it is the image I have done the most in a lot of different countries.The man took many differebt aspect to the people sometimes he is an old man , sometimes people think he is Buster Keaton or Chaplin or a tramp or an anarchist.I like when my images take different aspect by the place where they are pasted.
I reckon Belfasters are good enough at painting their own walls without inviting a Brit in to do it for them?!
Got a laugh out of that anarchaeologist, cheers!
