This mural by A'Shop, the collaboration of Zek One and Dodo Ose, was created in 2013 at the corner of rue Ontario and ruelle Ville-Marie, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal. It was produced under the city's Programme graffitis et murales, as part of the project Y'a QuelQu'un l'aut'bord du mur (YQQ).
Before you go
The mural is no longer visible, so this is not a place to plan a visit around seeing the artwork itself. The corner remains part of a neighbourhood that is worth knowing, and the record for the piece still gives the city's own page for it, which describes the work and its origins.
What the area offers
- Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, an east-end borough of Montreal with a residential character and a long tradition of local street art.
- A walkable setting for exploring murals and other neighbourhood art at your own pace.
- Easy access to the wider city for those who want to combine a stroll here with other stops.
If you are interested in Montreal's street art, the Programme graffitis et murales is the thread that connects this piece to many others across the city. Check the city's listing before you set out, since a mural that is no longer on view may be discussed there rather than seen on the street.
