This exhibition highlighted the work of eleven student-photographers from greater New Haven who participated in “The View From Here: Accessing Art Through Photography.” In fall 2022, “The View From Here” was taught at the YCBA, enabling access to the museum’s rich collection of historic and contemporary photographs. In addition to this online presentation, the students’ work was shown in the High Street windows of the museum from January 21 through April 2, 2023.
