Chloë Bass: If you hear something, free something [Creative Time x MTA Arts and Design]


Honored to be part of this thoughtful and innovative project by Chloë Bass! My voice alongside others, will be heard over the PA systems of 14 train stations in: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx

a bit about the project via Creative Time:

In a monumental but fleeting gesture, [Chloë] Bass takes over the New York City Transit’s PA system with If you hear something, free something, a series of 24 poetic announcements that build a practice of everyday care and question the usual purposes of public address within a system that serves millions of New York City residents daily, spanning every single neighborhood and social boundary. The announcements – in English, Spanish, Arabic, Bangla, Haitian Kreyòl, Mandarin, and ASL – will play intermittently in a dozen subway stations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx from September 3 to October 5, 2025. This is the first innovative artist project on the MTA broadcast system.
