As part of the 2018 station improvements, artist Christopher Wynter has extended his glass mosaic artwork, “Migration”, at the Cathedral Parkway (110 St) Station (B,C). Located near Frederick Douglass Circle, a gateway to Harlem, the artwork was originally installed in 1999 and continues to evoke the spirit of migration. Recurring circular patterns (both complete and incomplete) and imagery such as houses atop stilts and wheels, ladders, the North Star, footprints, and African symbols of spiritual centering weave a pathway through the shifting dynamics of passage throughout the updated station.
