The arts at Yale-China radically imagine a positive and globally shared future through collaborative program design and dialogue with arts professionals.

Through their work, Yale-China artists collaboratively observe the human experience with global counterparts, examining issues such as race, sustainability, identity, tradition, power, equity, and other marks of shared culture. Inspired by Yale-China’s values of trust, time, thought, and talent, artists amplify their perspectives to a greater public audience, informed by personal relationships and experiences that challenge their views.
