This mural by the artist Zoë Gelfant is a street-art piece on the wall of a building at 1600 rue Aylwin, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2022 as part of the city's mural art programme, organized by MU under its second strand, the Programme d'art mural (volet 2).
What to expect
The mural is an outdoor work, seen from the street, so a visit suits anyone who enjoys walking through a neighbourhood and looking at its walls. It is a short stop rather than a full outing: you come to see the artwork itself and then continue on your way.

Around the mural
Rue Aylwin lies in a residential and working part of east-central Montreal, where many of the city's public murals are scattered across ordinary streets. Pairing the artwork with a wander through the surrounding blocks gives a good sense of everyday life in the borough.
For more details about the mural, the city of Montreal keeps an official record for it online, which lists the work along with the other murals in its programme.
