This mural by Simon Bachand stands at 5000 rue René Huguet in Lachine, a borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2024 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural (volet 2), the public art programme that brings murals to neighbourhood walls across Montreal.
About the work
The mural was produced in partnership with Maison des Jeunes l'Escalier de Lachine, a youth centre in the area, so it has a connection to the community that uses the building. Simon Bachand is the artist credited for the piece, and the work is listed in the city's public mural catalogue under the same name, "Murale située au 5000 Rue René Huguet."
