CAN TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT IF ONE NEEDS TO MEET THE AUGUST 23 DEADLINE
Chancery Street at Fegans is a good location if you are interested in murals (even if they are very commercial).
Ahsoka Tano is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She is a Force-sensitive Togruta female who was trained as a Jedi Padawan by Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. Ahsoka was a gifted student and a skilled warrior, and she quickly rose through the ranks of the Jedi Order. She fought alongside Anakin in many battles, and she helped to save the Republic on numerous occasions.
However, Ahsoka’s life changed forever when she was framed for a bombing attack on the Jedi Temple. She was falsely accused of treason, and she was forced to go on the run. Ahsoka eventually cleared her name, but she was disillusioned with the Jedi Order. She left the Order and became a freelance warrior, fighting for justice and peace in the galaxy.
Ahsoka continued to fight for good after the fall of the Republic. She helped to establish a network of rebel cells that would eventually become the Rebel Alliance. She also fought in the Battle of Endor, where she helped to defeat the Galactic Empire.
Ahsoka Tano is a complex and well-developed character. She is a strong and independent woman who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. She is also a skilled warrior and a powerful Force-user. Ahsoka Tano is a fan-favorite character, and she is sure to continue to be a major player in the Star Wars universe for years to come.
Today I had an appointment at Harolds’s Cross so I decided to walk there and visit Longwood Avenue, on my way, in order to check if this large mural had survived the legal and official attempts to have it removed.
In June 2022 it was announced that Dublin City Council was to drop its prosecution of art group Subset for three prominent street murals – including this one celebrating the life of David Attenborough.
In November 2019 I upload photographs of this mural and included the following comment: “Dublin City Council has ordered that a mural of David Attenborough on the side of a property in south Dublin should be removed. An entity or group known as Subset had recently created the Street Art tribute to David Attenborough on his 93rd birthday.”
The David Attenborough Mural is a large-scale street mural located on the gable wall of a house on South Circular Road facing onto Longwood Avenue in Dublin 8, Ireland. It was painted in 2019 by the artist collective SUBSET to mark the renowned naturalist and broadcaster’s 93rd birthday.
The mural depicts Attenborough in his signature khaki jacket and hat, standing next to a group of animals, including a penguin, a lion, and an elephant. The mural is vibrantly coloured and features a stylised depiction of the natural world.
The mural was controversial from the start, as it was painted without planning permission from Dublin City Council. The council eventually ordered the mural to be removed, but this decision was met with widespread public opposition.
A petition to save the mural attracted over 10,000 signatures, and the council eventually dropped its prosecution of the artists.
The David Attenborough Mural is now considered to be a popular tourist attraction in Dublin. It is a reminder of the city’s vibrant street art scene and its appreciation for the natural world.
