‘Digging where I stand’: Researching murals in the North of Ireland. An interview with Bill Rolston
View through CrossRef
Professor Bill Rolston began documenting the murals of his native West Belfast in the 1980s. Since then, whilst pursuing a career as a sociologist (and as the director of the Transitional Justice Institute at Ulster University from 2010 to 2014), Professor Rolston has documented and written about murals across the world and published five books on the Republican and Loyalist murals made in the northern part of Ireland. In December 2022, we met with Rolston to discuss the evolution of his ‘hobby that got out of hand’ and the contrasting histories, iconographies, politics and cultures of Belfast’s two mural traditions. Exploring the emergence of his interest, comparisons with international mural traditions and how the peace process has affected Belfast’s murals, Rolston reflects upon his decades of study and interest in the form.
