The public artwork, 'Abstract Futures,' by the feminist collective Hilma's Ghost, adorns a 600-square-foot area of the New York City subway. Commissioned through the MTA's Arts and Design program, it employs cosmological motifs and tarot themes to depict transformation and journey. The mural's three sections transition from 'The Fool' to deeper self-awareness, mirroring commuters' personal developments. A dedication ceremony is scheduled for May 6, enhancing the visibility of public art and community engagement in urban transit spaces.
The first segment of the mosaic begins with the story of 'The Fool,' a tarot card signifying new beginnings and opportunity, emphasizing the quest of a risk-taking protagonist.
'Abstract Futures' is divided into three sections, ordered left to right, that fuse reinterpreted tarot archetypes with classic heroic tales to highlight shared transformations of commuters.
