This mural by Rafael Sotolichio, painted in 2014, is one of the public artworks found in Montreal's Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough. It sits at Parc Bélanger-Chateaubriand, so a visit combines a look at the artwork with time in a neighbourhood park.
About the artwork
The mural was created in 2014 as part of the Projet pilote d'art mural, a pilot project for murals in the city. The project was funded through the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, an agreement between the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec that supports cultural development. The work is also known under the French name Murale située au Parc Bélanger-Chateaubriand.
Planning your visit
The mural is found in the park itself, so you can approach it on foot as part of a walk through the grounds. Because it is outdoors, it can be seen at any time the park is open, and it suits a short stop as well as a longer look.

Around the area
The mural suits visitors who want to see how Montreal uses public art in its everyday neighbourhoods rather than only in its central districts. Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is a residential part of the city, and the park gives a pleasant setting for pausing between other stops.
