Stations of the Cross, a unique public art project, takes visitors on a creative contemplative and spiritual journey through Manhattan. The Lenten season exhibition weaves through 14 religious and secular art spaces, from The Cloisters museum in Inwood to The City College of New York in Harlem to the National September 11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan. Each installation, or station, along the trail breaks open the final journey of Jesus as a man, inviting people of all faiths to consider injustice across the human experience with a focus on migration and the plight of immigrants and refugees.
