“Lost & Found: Ring the Bell” is the first WHAM! window exhibition for 2024. On view are eighteen ID cards found over the years in and around Woodside, Queens. We seek to return, these work badges; photocopies of a New York State driver’s license left in the photocopier at the Woodside public library; “Escorted Visitor Pass #10” from Queensboro Correctional Facility (hmmmm how could such an ID go missing?); five different people’s cards spotted in a suspicious stack atop a signal box on Roosevelt Avenue at 60th Street; even Sr. Martinez Perez’ 1967 Puerto Rico driver’s license, mysteriously found in the dirt of the tree bed next door. With the help of neighbors and Facebook groups like We Are Woodside, WHAM! has returned dozens of IDs to their rightful owners. Also on display are dozens of identification stickers and cards, and even a passport, found in other neighborhoods across the five boroughs. Are the ones on display yours? (the names of people on cards found in Woodside are listed below) Do they belong to a friend? Ring the bell and we’ll gladly return them!
