Opening March 16 at the New York Transit Museum's Grand Central Gallery & Store, "Inspired by MetroCard" explores how the humble fare card evolved into a creative canvas for artists, designers and institutions across the city. The free exhibition pulls from contemporary artworks and the museum's own collection to show how MetroCards have been transformed into fashion pieces, sculptures, paintings and collages, as well as limited-edition cards.
On Wednesday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, days after the Trump administration deployed a large-scale immigration crackdown targeting the area's diasporic Somali community. President Trump's words about the murder - that Good "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over" the officer - differ sharply from video documentation of the event.
