The faces of Montreal
From August 20 to October, 2021
As part of the major project Les Visages of Montreal, on the Hangar 16, the Old Port of Montreal is showcasing portraits of its workers, merchants, and visitors.
Les Visages de Montréal is a creative appeal for solidarity for Montrealers. Everyone is invited to take part in this collective artwork which lines the facades of downtown Montreal with thousands of portraits. This inspiring artwork is part of Inside Out, a collaborative project launched by the French artist JR that has traveled to cities all over the world. Les Visages de Montréal puts the spotlight on the faces of Montreal, mobilizing some of the city’s key institutions and the public with an invitation to reclaim the downtown core. Watch for the photo booth truck that will be combing the streets all summer to take part in it yourself!
