A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Nia Starr, MS Sustainable Environmental Systems ’24, turned their graduate thesis on equitable electrification into a real-world project for Diversity Coalition SLO County.

  • Pratt was featured in a Hyperallergic article about the Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair 2025 at Powerhouse Arts, which showcased work by Pratt Institute Editions (PIE), Trudy Benson, MFA ’10, and MFA/BFA Printmakers. “Independent printshops, print-oriented galleries, institutional printmaking programs like that of Pratt Institute and Hunter College, and high-profile publishers like Two Palms were all unified in their shared passion not just for the craft, but the connection it elicits through process and appreciation alike.

  • Visiting Assistant Professor of Fine Arts Claudia Bitran was included in an article for Observer about the promises and pitfalls of being a studio assistant.

  • Dana-Marie Bullock, MFA ’25, was interviewed for Canvas Rebel. “I am currently developing a performance, The Unspeaking Woman, that extends the body of work I am producing for my upcoming MFA thesis show at Pratt Institute,” she said. “Drawing upon my research and the material experiments I produced in the form of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations, The Unspeaking Woman marks my debut with live performance and explores themes related to disability, trauma and loss, bodily autonomy, sexuality, and gender.”

  • Quinn Gregory, MArch ’25, wrote an article for The Architect’s Newspaper about the “complicated relationship between bicycling and urbanism.” He considers the challenge of “how to reclaim streets designed for cars and turn them into spaces for people.”

  • Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Arts Jessica Stoller was featured in artnet and Colossal in conjunction with her latest exhibition, Split, which is on view at P.P.O.W. in Tribeca through April 5. “In this show, I’m thinking about a few splits, for one, the way we have split reproductive capabilities and fetal life from the potentially pregnant person carrying the embryo,” she told artnet. “But also a split in terms of our relationship to the earth, and the intersection of the natural world being seen as something inert, exploitable, and extractable and the pathologizing of the female body.”
