Stephanie Dinkins

Stephanie Dinkins is a transdisciplinary artist whose work intersects emerging technologies and our future histories. Her art practice is deeply committed to creating platforms for dialogue about A.I. as it intersects with critical issues of our time. Dinkins leverages technology and storytelling to challenge and reimagine the narratives surrounding underutilized communities, particularly those of Black and brown individuals. Through her installations, digital platforms, and community-based projects, Dinkins seeks not only to question the current paradigms of AI development but also to forge paths toward more equitable and inclusive technological futures. Her work emphasizes the importance of incorporating diverse voices and perspectives into the design and application of AI systems, advocating for a future where technology uplifts and amplifies narratives of the global majority, fostering a tech ecosystem that is truly beneficial for all.

Dinkins is the Kusama Endowed Chair in Art at Stony Brook University and a Schmidt Futures AI2050 Senior Fellow. She exhibits and publicly advocates for inclusive AI internationally at a broad spectrum of community, private, and institutional venues.

Dinkins' work has recently been exhibited at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Ford Foundation Gallery, the Västerbottens Museum, Museum Brandhorst, and ZKM|Center for Art and Media. Her work has also been featured at the Guggenheim Museum, the Ulsan Museum of Art, the Riga Photography Biennial, the Västerbottens Museum, the Queens Museum, the Esker Foundation, and the University of Michigan.

In 2025, Dinkins will contribute to exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, the Bronx Museum of Art, the Institute for Contemporary Art San Jose, and is developing a major public art project in association with More Art Inc.
