Please join ALMA | LEWIS in welcoming Dominique Du

Please join ALMA | LEWIS in welcoming Dominique Duroseau as our WINTER 2025 resident artist!

Born in Chicago and raised in Haiti, Dominique Duroseau is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice examines themes of racism, socio-cultural issues, and existential dehumanization. Through sculpture, performance, video, and installation, Duroseau confronts the uncomfortable truths of race, gender, and human existence, creating works that challenge and engage audiences to reflect on societal and cultural constructs.

Duroseau holds an MFA in Sculpture from the Yale School of Art, a Bachelor of Architecture from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and a Master of Fine Arts from Kean University. Her work has been featured in exhibitions, performances, and screenings at prominent venues including The Kitchen, The Brooklyn Museum, and The New Museum (BWA for BLM) in New York City.

Duroseau has participated as a panelist at Harvard’s Black Portraiture[s] conference and has lectured at Vassar College. Her work has earned support through prestigious fellowships and residencies, including A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, Index Art Center, the Wassaic Project, MassMoCA, The Lunder Institute at Colby, and Yale’s Beinecke Library.
