The Yale Committee for Art Recognizing Enslavement (CARE) will work with members of the campus and New Haven communities to commission works of art and related programming to address Yale’s historical roles and associations with slavery and the slave trade as well as the legacy of that history. Inclusive programming that fosters reflection, remembrance, discussion, learning, and healing will be essential for each project. The committee will solicit input widely from across the university and its home city to ensure that these artistic interventions, in various locations, will make a productive and meaningful difference in our shared communities.
Members of CARE include Yale faculty, staff, students and colleagues from New Haven.
If you would like to send a message to the committee about your thoughts on art and programming that address Yale’s historical roles and associations with slavery and the slave trade, please email care.committee@yale.edu.
We look forward to learning from your recommendations and perspectives and to updating you about the committee’s work.
