Participants will be asked to take part in a collaborative “groupthink” and idea exchange, reflecting on how collective storytelling, participation, and experimentation can reframe our relationship with AI. This event offers a chance to imagine new, more inclusive ways of designing technology together.

Rooted in culture, care, and community, Stephanie Dinkins’ work invites the voices and narratives of those often left out of technological power to help transform AI into a collaborative and human-centered process.

This event is presented in collaboration with Hunter College and made possible by Dr. Jayne R***r and Floor Grootenhuis (Biology Department, Hunter College).

Tap the link in our bio 🔗 to purchase tickets today & read on to learn more about Utamura’s practice!

Hanae Utamura () is a Japanese interdisciplinary artist and an educator based in New York and Tokyo.

Her work engages with historical memory, questioning the notion of progress in modernity, ecology and technology.

Utamura’s media include video, performance, installation, and sculpture. She connects human beings and earth, using the physical human body as a conduit. She explores negotiations and conflicts between the human and the non-human, and how all the varieties of the wills of life manifest such as in the field of science. By decentralizing the human perspective, Utamura diversifies historical narratives, and enters the imagination of nature.

She received her Master of Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art and Design, and her Bachelor Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London. Utamura has received support through numerous international residencies and fellowships including Akademie Schloss Solitude (Stuttgart, Germany), Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), PACT Zollverein (Essen, Germany), Art Omi (Hudson, U.S.), Santa Fe Art Institute Residency, Aomori Contemporary Art Center (Japan), National Museum of Contemporary Art, Changdong Art Studio (Seoul, S.Korea), Seoul Art Space_GEUMCHEON (Seoul, S.Korea), Florence Trust (London, U.K.) and more.

She has been awarded the More Art Engaging Artists Fellowship, NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program, Shiseido Art Egg Award, Grant program by the Japanese Ministry of Culture, the Pola Art Foundation, UNESCO-Aschberg Bursary Award, and Axis/Florence Trust Award.

an original commissioned performance by Hanae Utamura (), presented at .

Tickets are available on a sliding scale of $15-35. Tap the link in our bio 🔗 to purchase your tickets today! The performance is 45 minutes followed by a Q&A with the artist.

———

Hanae Utamura’s Lumenfall (2026) is a powerful and reflective performance that brings together film, sound, movement, and storytelling. The work explores the deep memory of the Earth and the ocean — from ancient geological time to the lasting impact of nuclear histories in the Pacific.

Utamura invites us to consider how memory lives not only in people, but in water, land, and the spaces we inhabit. Drawing inspiration from both quantum physics and Onmyōdō — an ancient Japanese cosmology that sees the universe as an ever-shifting web of relationships — Lumenfall unfolds as an immersive and poetic experience that asks how history, environment, and human presence remain deeply intertwined across generations.

We hope you’ll join us for this intimate and immersive experience!

Lumenfall is an original performance by Hanae Utamura, commissioned and produced by More Art, and presented at Fourth Arts Block. The work was also developed with support from EMPAC and RPI.

Lumenfall (2026) is a poignant and meditative work that spans diverse media to weave together geologic memory of the Earth, oceanic consciousness, nuclear memory in the Pacific Ocean, and psychic connection within a speculative narrative.

➕Support More Art in 2026!➕

As we close out 2025, More Art is reflecting on what challenges and discoveries we found as we consider the future of public art. We focused on how technology is transforming and what conventions should be interrogated to center culture, craft, and the well-being of our shared future. Stephanie Dinkins’ project, If We Don’t, Who Will?, encouraged our communities to build care-filled relationships with machine intelligences by fostering public awareness and creating a dialogue on how AI is shaping society.

In 2026, More Art will turn its attention to the stories this land has carried far longer than the United States itself. As the country marks its 250th anniversary, we’re choosing to look beyond the founding narrative—to the Indigenous presence, knowledge, and stewardship that were never lost, even when they were pushed out of view. Look out for updates on our 2026 projects in the coming months!

Support More Art today and help ensure these urgent stories are seen, heard, and honored in 2026. Donate at the link in our bio 🔗
