Student and faculty works on view
In May, Cierra Peters ’26MFA (graphic design) had work featured in the Whitney Museum’s A Grammar of Attention, a 2025 ISP Curatorial Exhibition. Invoking the spirit of David Hammons and Gordon Matta-Clark, the exhibition functioned as both an invitation and an offering: “to bear and build witness to that which is fraught, incomplete, unauthorized, unsettled yet tethered to our present.” Presented in collaboration with the.black.gaze, Cierra Peters and Rai Terry created an installation called Mantjé tonbé sé bél pa, pa vré? (“It’s nice to be remembered” in Haitian Creole).
On Thursday, June 26, alums gathered at the Museum of Contemporary Art CT to celebrate the exhibition Tod Papageorge: At the Beach + In the Pool: On Influence. On view through late October, the exhibition showcases the Los Angeles beach photographs of Tod Papageorge, director of graduate studies in photography at the School of Art from 1979 through 2013. At the Beach also celebrates over 35 years of Papageorge’s teaching at the Yale School of Art, pairing a slideshow of alums from the period he taught alongside a print show of selected work from a portfolio created around 2015 in honor of his retirement.
Maria De Los Angeles ’15MFA, critic and interim director of graduate studies in painting/printmaking for the 2024–25 academic year, has work featured in Mending Across Borders & Boundaries at the Sun Valley Museum of Art in Ketchum, Idaho. Currently on view, the exhibition will run through November 8.
Critic in Painting/Printmaking Rachelle Dang has work featured in the long-term outdoor sculpture exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Entitled A Garden of Promise and Dissent, the exhibition is ongoing through April 2026.
