“My goals during this residency are rooted in curiosity and discovery – delving deeper into myself to reflect growth in my practice. I plan to spend my time immersing myself fully in the residency’s resources and environment, experimenting with new techniques, and pushing the boundaries of my ideas. I’ll focus on refining my concepts, creating new works, and engaging in meaningful conversations that challenge my perspectives and deepen my practice. This residency offers me the space to be intentional, allowing my creative process to unfold organically while connecting with others who share a commitment to innovation and growth.”
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.
Additional exhibitions include El Museo del Barrio, BronxArtSpace, Rush Arts Gallery, and Smack Mellon. In New Jersey, her work has been shown at The Newark Museum, Index Art Center, and Project for Empty Space. She was also featured in The Immigrant Artist Biennial (2023).
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, MacDowell Fellowship, and Yale’s Beinecke Library.
