Northern Ireland is unique in many respects in the world. One peculiarity which has become a tradition is the painting of political street art, or murals, as they are widely known locally. The murals depict many events and scenes relating to local culture, folklore and history. Some of the images can be quite disturbing, but are a feature of life for those who live in the areas. The Belfast murals exist predominantly in the patchworks of public housing which are usually diveded along sectarian lines of Catholics and Protestants (which largely equates to nationalists - republicans and unionists - loyalists). There are exceptions, but not many. The Belfast murals in particular, are very striking and eyecatching, and have for the period of the troubles conflict have been variously loved and loathed, within and beyond the local neighbourhoods were they spring up. Early murals were often fairly simple efforts, but have increasingly became much more elaborate and sophisticated as street artists honed their artistic and propaganda skills. All the warring factions used murals to highlight their causes over the years.
