Photographer Muammer Yanmaz and project director Selen Akçalı submitted a grant request to the Moon and Stars Project for the 40 Stations New York project. Just like the Paris project, the 40 Stations New York project aimed to photograph 40 Turkish-Americans living in New York in a subway station of their choice. The Moon and Stars Project’s Grants Department decided to sponsor the project, which came to life when the Turkish Culture and Tourism Office, The Marmara Manhattan and Mavi Jeans joined in as co-sponsors. The resulting 40 photographs were presented on May 5, 2005 at the Marmara Manhattan Art Gallery in New York. The project was also exhibited between March 17 and May 5, 2005 at the Mavi Jeans Art Gallery in Istanbul under the sponsorship of Mavi Jeans.
