The View from Here 2026: Finding Our Paths at Yale Center for British Art

Inspired by the idea of “desire paths,” the informal routes people create as they move through spaces on their own terms, the exhibition, Finding Our Paths, traces the students’ visual journeys through their daily lives, histories, and communities. Developed through work with the museum’s collections and collaboration with a current Yale School of Art MFA student, the project helps young photographers build technical skills and explore intentional ways of seeing.
The photographs capture moments of observation, connection, and self-reflection, revealing how young artists navigate and reimagine their surroundings while seeking new possibilities and meaning.
Admission is free. The exhibition is also presented in an installation at Yale Schwarzman Center from April 6 through December 18, 2026. Learn more at https://britishart.yale.edu/view-here-accessing-art-through-photography.
