Fall 2025 Artists in Residence

Part of Stony Brook’s Visiting Artists Series, the Department of Sociology and CCSP hosted artists Dean Arlen and Adele Todd—both based in Trinidad and Tobago—for a two-week residency from September 29 - October 10, 2025.

Their residency, titled "The Room," invited students, faculty, and community members to participate in a series of interactive workshops that explored how collaborative art practices and social justice aesthetics can reshape communal space, specifically Stony Brook's Staller Steps.

Participants engaged with the artists through drawing, modeling, and dialogue, culminating in a artists' presentation and publication showcasing the ideas and designs generated during the residency.

This residency is supported by the AHLSS Committee as part of its commitment to amplifying socially engaged art and fostering inclusive spaces across campus.
