Art en route to Art in the Park - Maren Hassinger’s “Message from Malcolm” (1998) at Central Park North (110th Street) (2,3 train) honors Malcolm X writings. As the artist stated, “Malcolm X believed that we as African Americans have the power to determine our destinies. This station is a reminder of that truth." Just 15 blocks north of this station, Maren Hassinger’s “Monuments” installation is now on view in Marcus Garvey Park presented by The Studio Museum in Harlem. Her eight sculptures respond to the park as a site of hope and equality. According to Hassinger, "Within nature, we are equal."
