Peter Saville's iconic artwork for Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" has been turned into a climate mural to raise funds for Music Declares Emergency https://musicdeclares.net/gb/ The sleeve was originally based on an image of radio waves from pulsar CP 1919, but it now shows the waves as flat and lifeless to "symbolise the eternal silence of a dead planet". The work facing Moorfield Street, Withington was created as part of a wider campaign calling for "urgent action on climate" ahead of the COP26 UN Climate Conference in Glasgow. https://www.nme.com/news/music/joy-divisions-unknown-pleasures-artwork-has-been-turned-into-a-climate-mural-3071415
