Stations of the Cross in Manhattan Remembers the immigrants

“Why have you forsaken me?”

Jesus’ words from the cross resonate with the anguish felt by refugees and immigrants in America. This unique public art project takes visitors on a contemplative journey across Manhattan.

Stations of the Cross goes through religious as well as secular spaces, from The Cloisters museum to the Cathedral of St. John the Divine to the 9/11 Memorial.

You may take the pilgrimage around Manhattan by using the custom apps for Android and Apple phones, Alight: Art and the Sacred, which offers maps and podcasts from leading artists and thinkers to guide users on their way.
