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
