Mural Rededication When: April 10, 2023 1-2pm Where: Campus Center The Chancellor will rededicate the Campus Center mural “Justice, Diversity, and Opportunity” commissioned in 2010 by UMass as part of peacebuilding efforts to highlight the power of art in conflict transformation. UMass students played a leading role in the designs and painting, collaborating with two of the artists who painted political murals during the North/Northern Ireland conflict and the transition to peace: Danny Devenny, an ex-Irish Republican Army political prisoner and Mark Ervine, British loyalist, whose father served in the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force and was a negotiator on their behalf for the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. |
