This is a mural painted in 2014 by the artist Monk.E, found on the wall of an alley at 6785 2e avenue in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal, Canada. It is one of the works made under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, carried out in collaboration with SODER.
What to expect
Street art of this kind is best seen on foot, at the wall itself, rather than as a destination reached by a set route. The alley setting means the mural is part of an everyday residential and urban streetscape, so a visit suits someone who enjoys wandering through neighbourhoods and looking closely at the walls they pass.
- Type of visit: a short, informal stop on foot, in the alley
- Artist: Monk.E, who made the work in 2014
- Setting: a laneway in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, a mainly residential borough
The neighbourhood around it
Because the mural sits in a local district rather than a central attraction area, it works well as one part of a wider walk. Visitors who come to see it can combine it with time spent exploring the streets, shops and cafés of the surrounding borough, getting a sense of daily life in this part of Montreal.
For more information about the work, the City of Montreal maintains a public record for it, available through the contact page on the city's mural listings.
