The back seat of a black taxi hums as the city slides past: brick terraces, high-painted gable ends and a wall that refuses to be ignored. Murals loom and stare back—faces, flags and slogans hand-painted by residents who used art to mark place and memory. In two hours the cab threads between Falls Road and the Shankill, pausing where paint, politics and daily life meet.
