This mural by Maliciouz was created in 2019 and sits in Parc Nelson Mandela, at 4920 rue Vézina in Montreal. The park lies in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough, so a visit here is as much about the neighbourhood as about the painting itself.
About the artwork
The mural was made by the artist Maliciouz in partnership with Prévention Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, under the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2). It is one of the public murals registered with the City of Montreal, and the city's own mural record for it is numbered 209, which is a useful reference if you want to read more before you go.

Around the mural
Because the mural is part of a city park, it pairs well with a relaxed afternoon outdoors. The surrounding Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce area is a good base for exploring local streets, cafés and other neighbourhood life at a slower pace than the downtown core.
