Le meilleur des mondes nouveaux

After the Habitations Marie-Victorin housing project underwent major renovation and improvement work, its residents and local organizations expressed a strong desire to revitalize their isolated housing complex and strengthen their burgeoning community movement through a promising artistic initiative.
Carlito Dalceggio’s openness and inclusive approach made him an obvious choice of artist for this mural. Through the vivid and whimsical use of universal iconography he explores themes that are dear to him, such as peace and harmony among people. Inspired by the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s I have a dream speech given on August 28, 1963, the artist used this mural to express his own aspirations for a better world.
