A subway swing will appear on the L-train in New York at various times throughout the upcoming weekend.

The swing is transportable and disguised as a handbag with adjustable straps that hook around the handrail of the subway.

The swing was designed by Caroline Woolard back in 2006 in the hope that the innocent amusement of swinging on the subway eclipses the atmosphere of numbness and suspicion partially generated by the infamous New York City subway dictate “if you see something, say something".
