Encounter a dazzling
array of pageantry and spectacle
at the newly improved and re-opened 145th
Street station (3) in Derek Fordjour’s “PARADE”! Line majors,dancers and
drummers joyfully parade along the platforms, accompanied by crowds of
people and flags. The Harlem-based artist’s richly textured paintings of the legacy
of parades through Harlem were meticulously translated into glass and ceramic
mosaic by fabricator Miotto Mosaics, and providing commuters a chance to come across
a celebration of community,history, and identity in the colorful art that
complements the station’s improvements and reinforces the historic fabric of
the station.
