Are you a patient, caring adult? Are you interested in New York Harbor, climate change or restoration? If so, come be a Guest Reviewer for the 2026 Billion Oyster Project Student Symposium!

Guest Reviewers are caring adults, vetted from our greater Billion Oyster Project community who volunteer their time to help. This is an essential tenet of our Symposium for the following reasons: 1) Students feel they and their work is being taken seriously. 2) Students have fun talking about their work to an unfamiliar adult, and this develops their communication skills. 3) Billion Oyster Project can identify strong work and acknowledge the specific strengths of each piece of work. If you are interested in being a Guest Reviewer, we ask for the following commitment: 1) Fill out the interest form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScp8GUDiRu6YODc9BKNzxFPAnk6C_YzoLtLXhy9VfDv6AMgaQ/viewform] 2) Attend a brief virtual training in May [date/time TBD] 3) Attend the Student Symposium on May 20th, 2026 in-person on Governors Island from approximately 9am - 2:30pm.

      Add to Calendar 2026-05-20T16:00:00 2026-05-20T17:00:00 America/New_York Yale Blue Green May Alumni Talk | Holding Ground: Conservation, Community, and the Long View with Laly Lichtenfeld ’05 PhD Join Yale Blue Green for our monthly alumni speaker series! On 20 May, we will be welcoming Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld, PhD, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of African People and Wildlife. For more than two decades, Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld has partnered with communities in Tanzania to build conservation solutions that hold — through shifting politics, funding disruptions, and the daily pressures of life in landscapes where people and wildlife rely on the same land. Her work centers on a question that rarely gets asked in environmental science: not whether a solution was implemented, but whether it lasts. In this talk, she draws on field experience to explore what sustainable solutions require in practice, including local decision-making, women’s leadership, and the collaborative processes that keep conservation grounded when conditions change. The lessons reach well beyond conservation, offering a framework for anyone working on complex social and environmental challenges in an uncertain world. false

"Call-to-Connect began as an exploration of the playground talking tube. I wanted to create a site for spontaneous interaction, for unity, for play. From re-circuiting the phones to designing the phonebooks, Call-to-Connect is a meditation on human connection as a material entity. The phones consist of over 100 audio and visual samples from the Yale community and from my own life, all with the theme of connection. Over the past year, I’ve worked with Larry Wilen and fabricator David Johnson on getting these phones up and running. I think of the payphones as two bodies, where each is an individual site for collective memory." Soleil Piverger Call-to-Connect is a site-specific interactive sculpture installed in the Rotunda at Yale Schwarzman Center. Yale Schwarzman Center Rotunda — 168 Grove St false

Mutiti’s printed works, films, and installations engage with the history and aesthetics of hair braiding in black life. “Ruka” (Shona for “to weave, braid, or knit”) brings social binding alongside physical braiding; the arrangements of salons, living rooms, and porches where hair is braided provide social contexts for her projects. Witness Mutiti's latest work, RUSUNUNGUKO (liberty / independence / freedom), on view beginning April 11, 2024, in The Dome Gallery at Yale Schwarzman Center during the building's open hours.

    • Yale Schwarzman Center | The View from Here: Accessing Art Through Photography

      Add to Calendar 2026-05-21T00:00:00 2026-05-31T00:00:00 America/New_York Yale Schwarzman Center | 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.
