Peace Dove

This Peace Dove mural from 2011 did not have a particularly peaceful inception, and sparked a great deal of controversy.

It is on the site of the former Ungdomshus/Youth House, which was forcefully closed and dwellers evicted by police in 2007. The council sold off the property, and the house was subsequently torn down.  The plot is still empty to this day.

The bird was added in 2015 by the Birds crew.
