QUEENS, NY — More than a dozen Queens subway stations are showing a new art installation honoring the 100-plus Metropolitan Transit Authority workers who have lost their lives to COVID-19.
The installation, "Travels Far: A Memorial Honoring Our Colleagues Lost to COVID-19," ties together pictures of the fallen MTA workers and a poem by Tracy K. Smith, a former U.S. Poet Laureate, that was commissioned specifically for the project.
As part of the memorial, a video will play twice consecutively three times a day, at 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and 8:30 p.m., from this Monday through Sunday at 107 New York City subway stations. The video can also be found on the MTA's website.
