Here is the work of senior class2
of art majors3
graduated from Yale College in the Spring of 2022
These capstone bodies of work
exhibited at Green hall Gallery represent the culmination of at least four
years of study at Yale through open eyes and hearts and minds,
ups and downs, failures and successes, relationships,4
deep
conversations, listening and feeling and thought
, and most importantly, their practice in the studio5
and out in the field.
Their work this year was made against, and despite (and even sometimes in response to,) the backdrop of the tides of the Pandemic6
as it drags out7
of a post-Trump political landscape8
that often felt like it was not in the past very must at all, of the overdue Black Lives Matter and social justice movement, and finally, now, shockingly, but perhaps quite expectedly, War.
