Street art in Belfast and Bogota: Murals, graffiti and posters

Street art in Belfast and Bogota: Murals, graffiti and posters

This PhD project looked at the interactions between visual and political representations of women in contexts of peace processes. To do so, it especially focused on murals in the cities of Belfast and Bogotá, looking at the way they represent women and at the way these representations are interpreted by politically active women. The images of murals were gathered between October 2022 and June 2024 in both cities, providing a snapshot of the walls at that specific time.

Abstract

This dataset contains hundreds of photographs of street art in the cities of Bogotá and Belfast, gathered between 2022 and 2024. The pieces were painted between the 1990s and the 2020s.
