ARDÚ 2021
Pictured: A new mural by Dublin artist Asbestos, created for Ardú 2021, South Main Street, Cork. The giant gable end mural challenges the passerby to think about ‘What is Home?’ Do you have one, is it safe, can you afford it? Never as a country has our sense of what home means been more at threat. Ardú Street Art project returned to Cork city recently, commissioning artwork from home grown talent of the highest level. Supported by Cork City Council and Creative Ireland, with paint sponsored by Pat McDonnell Paints. This year’s edition features four large-scale murals: Friz at St Finbarr’s Road, Shane O’Malley at Lower Glanmire Road/Horgan’s Quay, Conor Harrington at Bishop Lucey Park (WIP), and Asbestos at South Main Street.
