This mural by the artist Mastrocola stands at 1985 St-Zotique Est, on a building in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal. It was created in 2018 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), carried out in partnership with SODER.
What to expect
This is a street-art piece, so the visit is simple: you come to see the work on the wall where it was painted. It suits a short, unhurried stop during a walk through the neighbourhood, rather than a trip planned around a major attraction. Because it is an outdoor artwork, it can be seen at any time, and the light will change how the colours appear over the day.
The area around it
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is a residential district of Montreal, and walking its streets is a good way to see the mural in context. The surrounding blocks give you a sense of everyday city life, with its shops, cafés and tree-lined streets, that a museum visit cannot offer.
