There’s nothing new about graffiti. Examples date back at least 2000 years to Ancient Rome and Pompeii. If you consider wall art to be related, archeologists have discovered a 40,000 year old image of a pig in an Indonesian cave. Fast forwarding to the 21st century, new graffiti styles and subjects are appearing in Northern Ireland. RTE mobile journalist Philip Bromwell pictures this development in “Street art paints new pictures of Northern Ireland.”
