On #InternationalMigrantsDay, taking a look back at Robin Holder’s “Migration” (2006) at Flushing Ave (J,M). The laminated glass artwork "incorporate[s] symbols from various cultures that relate to the theme of: interaction, movement, and society in motion.” As the artist stated, “I hope that this work promotes a sense of celebration and reflects the vivacity, energy and liveliness of my fellow New Yorkers who use the Flushing Avenue Station."

Three MTA Arts & Design artists have come together in an exhibition focusing on issues of identity and culture, community activism and peaceful co-existence. Curated by Nitza Tufino (her work can be seen at 86th St and 103rd St in Manhattan), “Essentia” opens at Taller Boricua Gallery Friday night, 1/22, 6:30-8:30pm. The show includes artists Robin Holder, whose vivacious “Migration” (2006) is installed at the Flushing Avenue station and Maria Dominguez whose energetic “El Views” (2002) is located at Chauncey Street station.
