Come Together Mural by Que Rock, Alex Bacon and PERU143
The City’s public art program commissioned a mural that celebrates generations of Indigenous leadership and contributions from diverse peoples and species who have made Mississauga the thriving hub it is today. Painted on the Celebration Square amphitheatre walls, the artwork is accompanied by Augmented Reality so visitors can see the mural come to life.
Que Rock (Nipissing First Nation), Alex Bacon and PERU143 based their design on a portion of one of the Anishinaabe creation stories. Inspired by the name “MISSISSAUGA”, the mural is a visual dialogue between the land’s past, its present and future. Come Together is a reminder that our diverse cultural roots are the foundation upon which Mississauga has blossomed and calls on all of us to realize that our fates are interconnected.
