resistance within human life

i started my research by looking at things people had fought for in their lives, the resistance groups of the past.

21st century resistance

as well as the resistance of people and their beliefs, i have looked into the resistance of objects we use in our daily life & the clothes we wear.

this interest came to me whilst browsing ikea & remembering the mechanical displays they featured in the 90’s that demon-strated the product’s resistance to daily life

thought process point;

combine the two, resistance of the fibres of the clothing worn by re-sistance movements & freedom fight-ers.

possible texture or pattern created by intertwining fibres & movements

BELFAST: A CITY OF POLITICAL MURALS

BELFAST: A CITY OF POLITICAL MURALS

Belfast & it’s painted murals represent an important example of cultural & political expression.the city is littered with murals, however the higher concentration is in working class areas.Both sides of the resistance movement used the murals to highlight their political issues & rally support.s this society edges towards a post-conflict situation, murals continue to be a prominent form of memorial. Many images commemorate the loss of life on both sides, caused by years of violent conflict. In some areas the peace process has generated a number of humorous, cartoon-style murals. In the Protestant areas, for instance, bull-dogs allude to the British connection.

The murals not only represent political resistance but commemorate important events in irish and english history

the use of public and residential space tosay something reminded me of the series of adverts for havaianas that were created around new york city.
