This mural by the artist Dalkhafine is on the side of a building at 9494 boulevard Saint-Laurent, in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough of Montreal. It was painted in 2025 and organized by MURAL, the city's street-art organization, as part of the Programme d'art mural (volet 1).
The project was financed through the Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal, a cultural development agreement between the City of Montreal and the Government of Quebec. For visitors, it is a good example of the public art that Montreal commissions and makes visible in its neighbourhoods, rather than only in its central districts.
What to expect
- A large-scale mural on a street-facing wall, best seen on foot.
- Its location on boulevard Saint-Laurent, one of the city's best-known north-south arteries.
- A short stop that fits well into a walk or a wider tour of street art in the city.
Around the mural
Ahuntsic-Cartierville is a residential borough in the north of the island of Montreal, and a visit here gives a different view of the city from the downtown core. Boulevard Saint-Laurent runs through many neighbourhoods, so you can pair this stop with other murals or with local shops and cafés along the street.
The City of Montreal publishes its own record of the mural, which includes details of the commission. Checking that page before you go can help you confirm the location and see how the work fits into the wider programme.
