PICS – A Fake Missile In Dublin City Centre Is Making A Big Impact

In Syria, rockets kill 40 civilians a day, nine of them children. Nine children every day. Tomorrow is the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the conflict that has forced over 12 million people to flee the country and has left the country torn apart. Artist Will St. Leger has collaborated with GOAL to create a powerful art installation on King Street in Dublin today. The fake missile was planted on the street to raise awareness of the real, and terrifying impact the conflict is having on real people and their families.
