There’s a new Repeal The 8th mural in Dublin

The piece was completed by Shirani Bolle.

One of the first Repeal murals appeared on the outside of the Project Arts Centre by the artist Maser has grown seriously popular, with a whole host of badges and t-shirts easily seen on the streets of Dublin. While the mural was sadly removed, the logo is still being championed by those who are campaigning for a referendum on the 8th amendment. Another mural which has lent its support to the Repeal the 8th movement has appeared on Dublin's Southside. Artist Shirani Bolle has painted an incredible graffiti piece in the Bernard Shaw on Richmond Street. The painting echoes the sentiments of many of Irish women, with the message declaring "stop letting old men decide what women should do with their bodies". The woman in the piece looks to be a young woman breastfeeding in a hijab with her nipple covered, holding a weight,and a Topstuff (perhaps a play on Topshop) bag which references the confusing messages society tells women as they grow up. She also wears a chain with a cross on it and her pregnant stomach looks to bear the word slut, and she has a face with exaggerated features, perhaps a reference to the rise in cosmetic surgery being popular among young girls. Posting the mural on their Facebook page, The Bernard Shaw praised the artist for her amazing work.
