This mural by Sophie Wilkins was painted in 2015 in the alley behind 4903 boulevard Rosemont, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie borough of Montreal. It is one of the works commissioned through the city's street-art programme, organized by SODER under the Programme graffitis et murales.
What to expect
The mural lies in a lane rather than on a main street, so it suits a slow walk rather than a detour from a busy route. Visitors interested in urban art will find it a good example of how the city has brought painted work into its back lanes and neighbourhoods, away from the more central galleries and tourist sites.
- Location: the alley (ruelle) at 4903, boulevard Rosemont, Montreal

Around the mural
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is a residential borough with a lively local character, and the boulevard itself is lined with shops and cafés where you can stop before or after your visit. Because the work is outdoors and tied to its surroundings, it is best seen as part of a wider walk through the neighbourhood.
