This mural by the artist Labrona stands at 1707 rue Dézery, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Canada. It was painted in 2021 and is one of the street-art works that make up the city's outdoor gallery in this part of the island.
About the work
The mural was produced by La Table de quartier Hochelaga-Maisonneuve (LTQHM) as part of the Programme d'art mural, second strand (volet 2). The programme commissions murals for neighbourhoods, so the piece is tied to the local community rather than to a gallery or museum. Its artist is Labrona, and the work is recorded in the City of Montreal's public mural listings, where it is also known as "Murale située au 1707 rue Dézery".
What to expect on a visit
This is a street-level visit. You can see the mural from the street, and it makes a simple stop for anyone interested in public art or in how a neighbourhood expresses itself on its walls. Because it sits on a residential and mixed-use stretch of Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, it is best combined with a walk through the area rather than made the sole purpose of a trip.
