Messages From Subway Therapy

A deeply moving and inspiring collection of notes from the most expressive wall in the world.
In the days and weeks after the 2016 presidential election, Matthew Chavez showed up in the subway with stacks of brightly colored sticky notes. "Express yourself," he told passersby. The response was electric. Chavez turned an underground maze into a communal art space known as Subway Therapy.
