Diego Miró Rivera, Trumbull College
Diego Miró Rivera graduates cum laude with distinction in both of his majors, Art and Cognitive Science. More than a visual artist — or even thinker, seer, or doer — he is a dreamer who opens his audiences’ eyes to new ways of looking at the world around them. Through interventions and installations designed to change perspectives and moods, and by turns grandiose and subtle, even sly, Diego is acutely aware that he has the ability to alter the reality we interact with as we go about our daily lives. Through his art, he strives to change the world one moment of beauty and poetry at a time.
And in this same spirit of change, Diego in his unofficial role as Mayor of the Art Major Class of 2023 has also laid the foundation for the first-ever, dedicated undergraduate art space, providing a much-needed outlet for collaborative work and curatorial practice.
For his ambitious nature, his vision, and his gifts for bringing dreams to life, Yale College is delighted to award the Louis Sudler Prize for Excellence in the Creative Arts to Diego Miró Rivera.
