SUMMARY:An Artist’s America: Toward a More Perfect Union
LOCATION:Haas Family Arts Library Lower Level\, 180 York St\, New Haven\, 
 CT 06511
DESCRIPTION:"An Artist’s America" will be on view at Haas Arts Library fro
 m June 8 through Nov. 8.\n\nArtists have a long history of documenting\, 
 interrogating\, and resisting American political administrations. The wor
 ks in this exhibit comment on the radical roots of America and its comple
 x history through artist books. Featured artists highlight socio-cultural
 \, environmental\, and socio-economic observations and experiences of Ame
 rican people.\n\n2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of I
 ndependence\, and this founding document established a radical contrary t
 o the British Crown with the key statement “all men are created equal”\, 
 which marked the beginning of a nation-state centered on freedom\, self-d
 etermination\, and unalienable rights. In some artist books shared here\,
  the concept of the “American Dream” is interrogated with an exploration 
 of the realities of governmental policy and its legacy. In others\, artis
 ts document local communities to initiate conversations about America as 
 simultaneously independent and culturally interdependent. Other themes ex
 plored are historic events and figures\, democracy\, public policy\, citi
 zenship\, restorative justice\, and border relations.\n\nCurator: De’Ivyi
 on "Ivy" Drew\, 2025-2026 Kress Fellow in Art Librarianship\, Yale Univer
 sity.\n\nPlease join us for a curator’s tour celebrating the opening of t
 he exhibition “An Artist’s America: Toward a More Perfect Union” on Tuesd
 ay\, June 9th from 3:30pm to 5:00pm in Haas Arts Library. Remarks will be
