In the wake of the Trump election win.... from NY Times article. In the online version of this article, there's a picture of a wall that's totally covered with different colored post-its and the phrase: "What's on your mind?" in the middle.
To learn how New Yorkers feel in the wake of the presidential election, you may want to visit a certain tunnel between two Manhattan subway stations.
The tunnel, which connects the 14th Street stations at Seventh Avenue and Avenue of the Americas, is plastered with thousands of words and phrases scrawled on pastel-colored notes. There are messages of love and support, of fear and anger and hope, all written by strangers to one another.
Anyone can post one.
The project was the idea of Matthew Chavez, an artist known as Levee, who said he felt that New Yorkers, never shy about their thoughts or feelings, needed a place to vent their emotions after the surprising defeat of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. More than 80 percent of voters in New York City did not vote for the Republican nominee, Donald J. Trump, and for many residents, Mr. Trump’s victory has cast a pall over the city.
Mr. Chavez said he arrived at the tunnel on Wednesday with a stack of sticky notes, some pens and an open mind.
And from a 2017 article...
