MONTREAL, June 19 — A mysterious creature playing piano, a white tiger baring its fangs, and a huge Batgirl: Dozens of artists are busy this June painting giant frescoes for the tenth edition of Montreal’s Mural festival.
Among them is Caroline Monnet, an Indigenous artist who traces her ancestry to the Great Lakes region of Canada and the US. “We have been excluded from any cultural expression for a very long time,” she explained. “So to be able to have my art on a platform as large as this one, and to have it accessible to a wide audience as well... I think that’s great.”For others, such as Kata Hull, a painter from Boston visiting Montreal with her husband, the open-air exhibition poses an opportunity to reach a wider art audience.
“It’s such a pleasure to come and discover new murals every year, we are often surprised and it’s much more beautiful than bare walls,” says the local resident.
