Gabriella Costa

Gabriella Costa previously served as a MAVCOR graduate associate. She has a Masters in Religion, Visual Arts, and Material Culture from Yale Divinity School and the Institute of Sacred Music. She came to Yale from Fordham University, receiving a B.A. with Honors in Art History and English. With a larger interest in the ethics of representation, her work focuses on commemorative art and practice in the first half of the twentieth century. At Yale, she explored commemorative temporality and its implications for a just representation of suffering and loss. As part of this project, she has examined Marc Chagall’s postwar stained glass as an example of the critical power of refusing to commemorate.
