Ottawa: In the Eyes of a Street Artist

Get to know Ottawa’s diverse urban art scene through its street and public art. From amateurs to well-known artists – and a few hidden gems – this experience invites you to find dancing lions in Chinatown, learn about one of the world’s greatest inventors in Little Italy, and track down a charming café courtyard with art on every wall.

You can walk, bike, or e-scooter your way around the city. If you don’t have one, you can rent from Escape Bicycle Tours and Rentals at 79 Sparks St.

Storyline

You are EgoNibi, a legendary street artist from Tunam. You’ve become world-famous thanks to your art, and you believe every work should bear a message to better the world.

Years ago, Tunam fell into the hands of an authoritarian leader, and you were forced to flee the country for your own safety. Art is a target in Tunam today.

You’re planning your first proper exhibition in an Ottawa gallery. It’s your first work in Canada.

You always expect Tunam to interfere but this time, they’ll go too far.
