Thousands of people have expressed their thoughts and feelings about the future of the nation on sticky notes placed on subway walls.
Artist Matthew Levee Chavez created the project after the elections. People around the world have since contributed.
The historical society and Chavez started carefully removing the notes Friday so they can be archived for a program called History Responds.
Starting Tuesday, people can place sticky notes on a glass wall inside the historical society’s entrance. That effort will continue through Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.
Chavez says his project is about “inclusion, stress relief and peaceful expression.” He says it also exposes people “to opinions different than their own.”
Chavez says he’s thrilled it’s being preserved.
