Event Details

Yale Department of American Studies presents Art & Historical Photography

at New Haven Public Library, 133 Elm St.

Exhibit: December 1-30

Reception: Saturday, Dec. 10, 2-4 pm

 

The life of a city is forged in the uncertain spaces where economics and power meet diverse people’s visions of better ways to live. "Forgotten Futures" evokes some big ideas that failed to carry the day in New Haven.

As an act of civic remembering, this exhibit invites you to look at the city with fresh eyes, to ponder its unrealized futures, to notice anew the markers of its deep and conflicted history, and to give voice to your own dreams and to your understanding of the city as you find it.

 

Guest curators

Matthew Frye Jacobson, Professor of American Studies, Yale University; Taylor Jardno, Kurt Karandy, Yukimi Masui, Kate Peisker and Daniel Pizarro
