"Inhuman barriers" is the name of this mural on the side of Hilton House. It was created by Swiss art collective Nevercrew (Pablo Togni and Christian Rebecchi). It depicts the fate of immigrants falling from the structure of society. See https://nevercrew.com/inhuman-barries Hilton House itself is interesting, being one of the very first 1960s office blocks built in the former industrial Northern Quarter, and recently undergoing restoration.
