===''Refugee Boat'', 2019===
Participating in Lower Manhattan's River to River Festival in 2019, Ono presented her participatory installation ''Add Color (Refugee Boat)'' (1960/2019). The work comprises a white room with a white rowing boat in it, which were both covered by messages and drawings from members of the audience throughout the festival. Through the participatory nature of the work, the artist emphasised the need for solidarity and the history of immigrants and refugees in the United States. ''Refugee Boat'' belongs to Ono's ''Add Color Painting'' series, first enacted in 1960, which invites the audience to make marks over the designated objects, often white.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://ocula.com/artists/yoko-ono/|title=Yoko Ono|last=Paik|first=Sherry|website=Ocula|date=June 2021|access-date=November 11, 2019|archive-date=October 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191018135011/https://ocula.com/artists/yoko-ono/|url-status=live}}</ref>
