Residents of the 10th arrondissement literally took to the streets by painting murals on a wall to mourn the terrorist attacks on their local restaurants Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon on November 13, 2015. It started with an overwhelming urge by local resident and artist Diana Kami to paint something as an outlet for her feelings about the attacks. She found a wall used by street artists just steps away from Le Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon on the rue Alibert to paint on. A few mothers from her daughter’s school were struck by her mural and requested permission from the city to paint the remainder of the wall. A crowd funding from the neighborhood raised 500€ for the paint and the project was named Dessine-Moi un Bouquet, a community effort that invited graffiti and street artists to paint their own images in response to the attacks. Dessine-Moi un Bouquet was nicknamed Le Mur de ‘Amour/ wall of love. Other artists from Dessine-Moi un Bouquet include Jo Di Bona, Mosko, Sara Chelou, Daco, Flo, Fusible, BishoPParigo, and RESone.
