The View from Here: Accessing Art Through Photography

Yale Schwarzman Center presents The View from Here: Accessing Art Through Photography in partnership with the Yale Center for British Art. 

The View from Here amplifies the voices and perspectives of New Haven youth through the creative process and sustained work with photography and the collections of the Yale Center for British Art. The program also fosters connections with the Yale School of Art through close collaboration with a current MFA student. 

This year’s exhibition, Finding Our Paths, features the work of nine student photographers. During fall 2025 and winter 2026, they developed technical skills and the practice of looking with intention to express their unique perspectives. The result: images that capture moments of observation, connection, and self-reflection, revealing how young artists navigate and reimagine the worlds they inhabit. 

Grounded in optimism, the work of these remarkable students charts visual pathways through their daily lives, histories, and communities as they use and reimagine photography to seek light, possibility, and new meanings. 

The View from Here 2026: Finding Our Paths is presented across Yale’s campus. The students’ work is also on view in the High Street windows of the Yale Center for British Art beginning April 6, 2026.
