SUMMARY:NYTM Exhibitions: FAREwell\, MetroCard\, & The Subway Is…\, & Ticket to ride
DESCRIPTION:On view through May 31\, 2026The Subway Is…You take it to work\, to school\, or for a night out. It’s become a shorthand for New York — or urbanity in the abstract. It’s the New York City subway. It moves millions of people — and has since the day it opened on October 27th\, 1904. Using images and objects from the Museum collection\, this exhibit explores some of the endless ways to complete the sentence\, “The Subway Is…” \nTicket To RideThrough archival photographs\, ephemera\, and objects from the Transit Museum’s extensive collection\, Ticket to Ride shows the evolution of fare collection across all of New York’s modes of transportation. Visitors will see and touch different types of collection equipment such as turnstiles and fare boxes\, get a sense the colossal process of fare collection\, and see some of the people who make sure the money goes where it’s supposed to go. \nFAREwell\, MetroCard traces the rise and retirement of the iconic fare card that reshaped daily life for millions of New Yorkers. When the MetroCard debuted in 1994\, its mission was twofold: introduce new technology to the transit system and speed the elimination of tokens as a way to pay fares. In the decades that followed\, the MetroCard became almost as iconic as the token itself\, bearing safety reminders\, commemorating anniversaries\, and celebrating cultural moments. As OMNY becomes the new way to pay\, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the MetroCard’s origins\, its systemwide rollout\, the technology behind it\, and the many ways it became a cultural icon for a generation of riders.

SUMMARY:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present & Future
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Navy Yard: Past\, Present\, and Future is a permanent exhibition at Building 92 that tells the story of the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1801\, when it was founded as one of the nation’s first federal shipyards\, through to the site’s use today as an active industrial and innovation hub that is home to hundreds of businesses. The exhibition is located across three floors inside the former residence of the Marine Commandant\, an adaptively reused building that was originally constructed in 1858. Inside the exhibition\, visitors will get an extensive history of the site through detailed wall text and a variety of artifacts and objects that span across centuries. \nThe exhibition is the first exhibition to tell the Yard’s story and was originally installed in 2011 with great community support from both organizations and neighborhood residents alike. Ultimately\, the exhibition aims to introduce contemporary audiences to the generations of people who worked\, transformed\, lived\, and shaped the Yard over time\, and who continue to build upon the storied history of the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

SUMMARY:DAWN-DUSK-DAWN
DESCRIPTION:DAWN-DUSK-DAWN unfolds as a space to reconnect with the cycles of life—light and dark\, beginning and ending—as a way to reflect on regenerative practices and life-caring technologies. This project asks how we might open space to better hear what is within us\, and from there\, listen more deeply to what surrounds us. \n\n\n\nSpatially\, at its center Session artist Bel Falleiros places an immersive sculpture: a large woven vessel that visitors can enter\, a structure that holds and embraces. Surrounding it\, an evolving field of references—images and texts from poets\, scientists\, artists\, and activists—will gather over time\, gradually transforming into a constellation or mapping inspired by the night-sky. Through a sequence of public programs\, the project extends into embodied experience: hands-on art-making\, collective practices with the body\, and gatherings attuned to spirit and the senses. \n\n\n\nThis work considers what it means to remember our interdependence with each other and with the natural world\, particularly in a moment of deep environmental and social imbalance. It reflects on the cycles that are often overlooked in contemporary urban life—silence\, darkness\, uncertainty—and the ways these states can serve as generative\, life and light-making spaces. Like rest\, they offer the conditions to notice\, nurture\, and care for what is emerging. \n\n\n\nIn a time shaped by collapse and urgency\, the project proposes a shift in orientation: away from extractive systems and toward the spaces where life is sustained. New York City sits on one of the most diverse estuarine ecosystems in the world\, while also carrying one of the largest environmental footprints. What might be learned from this duality? Estuaries are nurseries—sites of nourishment\, transition\, and becoming. Can a city rooted in such a geography remember its capacity to hold and sustain life\, human and non-human alike? \n\n\n\nDAWN-DUSK-DAWN returns to the importance of intimate\, held space for reflection—alone and together. It asks how we are shaped by the conditions of this moment\, and how we might begin to heal ourselves while also tending to the environments we inhabit. Without turning away from what might come\, the project invites us to stay with the present and to trust in the regenerative capacities of both nature and ourselves. Envisioned as a refuge\, the space is inspired by the words of Ailton Krenak\, who calls for a “becoming forest” within the metropolis—a shift toward a future where life can continue. Visitors are invited to enter\, rest\, and spend time with the work as it evolves—returning across cycles\, engaging with its programs\, and carrying its questions outward.

SUMMARY:Indigenous Narratives of the Past\, Present\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Long before the first Europeans set foot on Turtle Island\, Indigenous people shared and recorded their stories and histories. In a conversation moderated by scholar Joseph M. Pierce (Cherokee)\, novelists Eliana Ramage (Cherokee) and Greg Sarris (Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria)\, along with historian Linford D. Fisher\, will consider Native literature from cultural\, anthropological\, and fictional perspectives. As many commemorate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, the authors will offer a clear-eyed examination of America’s past while celebrating Indigenous presents and futures.\n\nThis panel will bring together Fisher’s rich account of the long history of Indigenous enslavement and land dispossession; Ramage’s and Sarris’s fictional depictions of a Depression-era shape-shifter and a modern-day aspiring Cherokee astronaut\, respectively; and Pierce’s theorization of future worlds and imaginaries that illuminate Indigenous thought and practice. A book signing will follow the event.
