A wall mural created by artists Elisa Monreal (a.k.a. Shalak) and Carlos Ortiz (a.k.a. Guko), entitled Nord/Sud, was completed this past summer in the Plateau Mont-Royal district, on a building on Duluth avenue, between Coloniale and de Bullion. The point of the mural is to explore various concepts based on the duality and coexistence between North and South America. Through this mega-mural, the artists want to honour and represent the multiple facets of the Latino-Canadian community. They also hope to inspire passers-by and increase the neighbourhood’s image and sense of pride.
