This mural by the artist Borrris stands at 5955 rue de Marseille, in the Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, Canada. It was created in 2020 as part of the city's Programme d'art mural, second strand, carried out with the organisation Y'a QuelQu'un l'aut'bord du mur (YQQ). It is a street-art piece, so a visit means walking up to a wall in an everyday residential and working neighbourhood rather than entering a building.
What to expect
- Location: a street address on rue de Marseille, in the east of the city
- Kind of visit: a short outdoor stop, best made on foot or by bike while exploring the area
- Artwork details: by Borrris, produced in 2020 through YQQ under the city's mural programme
Around the mural
Because the mural sits in a neighbourhood rather than a central tourist district, it suits visitors who want to see how Montreal's public art appears in daily streets. Plan some extra time to walk the surrounding blocks and notice other murals and facades nearby. The city's own mural catalogue lists this work and offers further details about the project, and it is a useful reference before you go.
The mural is an easy addition to a wider day of street-art spotting in Montreal, combining well with other neighbourhood walks. Check the city's listing for the most current information on the work before setting out.
