MTA Arts & Design, the art-focused organization that facilitates the creation of artworks for New York’s mass transit system, has revealed the latest three artists to receive commissions: Ivan Forde , Trevor Paglen , and Howardena Pindell .

Forde will create a large-scale mosaic installation for the Broadway Junction subway station. A release describes the artwork, titled Bedtime Story for Brownsville: The Fish Who Carried the Moon (2026), as “a mythic bedtime story in which flying fish carry the Moon from the ocean floor to the sky.” It will be partially set in the entrance to the L train and a pedestrian bridge that extends above Van Sinderen Avenue. Forde said he hopes the work “brings joy, bravery, and pride to young families in Brownsville and its sister neighborhoods, intergenerational community members, local and international travelers alike.”
