“What does our hair say about who we are? How do we see ourselves through our hair — and how does the world see us? How has Black hair been policed, celebrated, reclaimed, and reimagined?”

These are the questions at the heart of “Hair, Home & Belonging,” an intimate panel conversation moderated by journalist and publicist Stacy Graham-Hunt. The evening brought together hair practitioners, a historian, a celebrated author, and an Academy Award-winning Yale professor for a conversation that is both personal and political.

The event took on additional resonance alongside “RUSUNUNGUKO (liberty/independence/freedom),” the current installation in The Dome by Zimbabwean-born artist Nontsikelelo Mutiti. Featuring site-specific vinyl braids woven throughout the space, the installation created a powerful curatorial dialogue with our panel.

“Hair, Home & Belonging” was co-presented with the International Festival of Arts & Ideas.

Last week, Yale Schwarzman Center hosted the 2026 Annual Meeting of Arts Administrators in Higher Education (AAHE) for several days of thoughtful collaboration, performance, and dialogue.

The conference served as an important platform for addressing the complex challenges facing the arts in higher education today. Through workshops and discussions, as well as works-in-progress viewings, participants connected with colleagues across different institutions, exchanged ideas, and shared innovative approaches to problem-solving. These conversations reinforced the vital role that the arts play in fostering creativity, belonging, and learning across campuses and communities.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the AAHE Executive Committee for their dedication to advancing the arts in higher education, as well as Schwarzman Center co-chairs Jennifer Newman and Nichole L. Knight, whose vision and hard work helped bring this gathering to life. We also thank the attendees, presenters, and staff whose engagement and expertise made the conference an enriching experience for all!

Special shoutout to our community partners who made this conference possible: Beinecke Library, Yale University Art Gallery, Yale Center for Collaborative Arts and Media, Lost in New Haven, NXTHVN, New Haven Symphony Orchestra, New Haven Department of Arts, Culture, and Tourism, Yale School of Art, Southern Connecticut State University

Congratulations to Christian Ponce, Visitor Services Manager at Yale Schwarzman Center, on completing Yale’s Emerge program! Over the past eight months, Christian joined a cohort of Yale staff members selected for their leadership potential and commitment to advancing a strong and collaborative culture of leadership across the university. Through monthly workshops, leadership development sessions, and conversations with senior Yale leaders, participants strengthened their skills while addressing a strategic challenge facing the university.

The Emerge program recognizes individuals whose leadership may not always follow traditional pathways but whose initiative and ability to inspire others demonstrate exceptional promise. Christian’s participation reflects his commitment to thoughtful leadership, innovative problem-solving, and building meaningful connections across the Yale community. Please join us in congratulating Christian on this outstanding accomplishment! 🎉 🎉 🎉

Congratulations to choreographers Omari Wiles and Arturo Lyons for receiving the Tony Award for Best Choreography for their work on Cats: The Jellicle Ball in the 2026 Tony Awards.

We welcomed Omari Wiles to our EveryBody Dances series in November 2024, where he shared his expertise in Vogue Femme with Yale and New Haven community members through an open masterclass.

We celebrate this well-deserved recognition and are thrilled to see ballroom culture, community, and artistic excellence honored through this remarkable achievement. Bravo to Omari, Arturo, and the entire Cats: The Jellicle Ball team! 🎉
