Another mural on the 'International Wall' this mural is perhaps unique in the history of Belfast murals in that it was a collaboration between political activists from across the religious / sectarian divide. It features an anti-war mural based the painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso which depicted the 1937 Nazi German bombing of the town in Spain. It was painted by Danny Devenney, a renowned nationalist painter, together with Mark Ervine, the son of the late progressive unionist leader David Ervine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ervine .
