The faces of Montreal
From July 28 to October, 2021
As part of the major project Les Visages of Montréal at the Quartier du Musée on Sherbrooke Street, the work features shopkeepers, residents, workers, and visitors of the area who, after a year of lockdown, symbolically come together, unmasked, through various portrait installations.
Les Visages de Montréal is a creative appeal for solidarity for Montrealers. Everyone is invited to take part in this collective art work which lines the facades of downtown Montreal with thousands of portraits. This inspiring art work is part of Inside Out, a collaborative project launched by the French artist JR that has travelled 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!
