Bogside Artists
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bogside Artists are a trio of mural painters, living and working in Northern Ireland. They are Tom Kelly, his brother William Kelly, and their mutual friend Kevin Hasson. They have been working together since 1993. On July 31, 2004 they completed their People's Gallery, intended as a homage to the price local people paid in their struggle for human rights.
The People's Gallery consists of eleven large murals to date, spanning the entire length of Free Derry's Rossville Street, which runs through the very heart of the Bogside. It was in this area on 30 January 1972 that 13 civilians were killed by British Army paratroopers in the Bloody Sunday disturbances (an additional civilian died later). Many thousands of people flock each year to view the murals.
