After returning for round two of an ambitious project to bring a diverse array of street art to the people of Cork city at a time when art was locked behind museum doors for many, Ardú Street Art has finished a round of four large-scale murals on Leeside.

Friz’s “Goddess Cliodhna” at St Finbarr’s Road, Shane O’Malley’s colourful intervention on Lower Glanmire Road, and Asbestos’ “What is home?” at South Main Street have provoked thought and conversation, added to a trail from 2020 that includes work from the like of Aches, Maser and more.
