Fall 2025 Artists in Residence

Part of Stony Brook’s Visiting Artists Series, the Department of Sociology and CCSP will host 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," invites students, faculty, and community members to participate in a series of interactive workshops that explore how collaborative art practices and social justice aesthetics can reshape communal space, specifically Stony Brook's Staller Steps.

Participants will engage with the artists through drawing, modeling, and dialogue, culminating in a public exhibition and publication showcasing the ideas and designs generated during the residency.

Take the Survey and share your thoughts about the Staller Steps and communal campus spaces.

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