| In the picture, the procession has just gone past Navarino Mansions on Dalston Lane. Trade union banners are waved to the right and to the left, a giant puppet figure representing the USSR and USAââ¬â¢s nuclear squabble is carried by men wearing skeleton masks. A brass band plays at the front of the as people watch them go by.
The mural has a political message; it shows the unity of the carnival folk against ââ¬ËThe Bombââ¬â¢. Nuclear War is not the most cheerful subject matter yet the use of bright colours and the vibrancy of the people enjoying the march make this mural a joyful picture - it delivers energy and spirit! |
