New Haven Department of Arts, Culture and Tourism’s Cultural Equity Plan (2022) >
The document is a collection of ideas, questions and activities about culture in our city. It also includes a list of action items for the City and other cultural leaders in our communities.
It is a tool to identify opportunities for equitable change, and to better understand each of our roles in creating a new future. It also includes a set of activities and specific action items we can each use to practice equity in our day-to-day lives and to weave equity into our systems.
The plan is an ever-evolving document. It is the beginning of a conversation that we, the residents of New Haven, the institutional leaders, and the creatives, artists, and culture holders must continue to have. More information >

New Haven Diary Disk project, Ye Qin Zhu, MFA 2020 and Justin Berry, Critic in Interdisciplinary Studies
The New Haven Diary Disk project is part of the long-term research and design initiative, Design Brigade.
Diary Disks are community art installations across New Haven. The Disks are boundless in shape and resemble time portals, acting as pandemic archives of collective memory, stamped with the location and date like a diary entry.
At the heart of the series is a vital sense of belonging to a community. Throughout the pandemic, lives unravel alone in the absence of both physical and social experience. Yet, when the mental space is shared together, it becomes a place where feelings, memories, and well-being are ultimately amplified. The Disks provide a place for New Haven to come together, reflect, and heal collectively as the city perseveres through the pandemic.
In partnership with the Department of Cultural Affairs (City of New Haven) and International Festival of Arts & Ideas, Diary Disks will be co-created by various community partners at their own events. People write and draw their responses to a unique prompt on the Disk, observing their experience among many.
The Diary Disk project is an outcome of the Design Brigade project, initiated by Yale Center for Collaborative Arts & Media and Atelier Cho Thompson.
