Featuring our Artists-in-Residence:

Meena Hasan, Misra Walker, and Juliana Hyrri

Meena Hasan's artworks navigate the politics and aesthetics of heritage by drawing from processes and forms sourced from her index of personal and historical textiles, patterns and decorations. She uses paint, inks and a variety of papers to develop textured and exuberant psychosomatic surfaces. She received her B.A. in Studio Art from Oberlin College in 2009 and her MFA in Painting & Printmaking from Yale School of Art in 2013. She has participated in many group exhibitions including at Deitch Projects, NYC, Nathalie Karg Gallery, NYC and the 2022 New England Triennial at the deCordova Museum and has had recent solo and two person exhibitions at Stowaway Gallery, Los Angeles, CA and with Deanna Evans Projects both in 2025. She is currently an Associate Professor in Painting at RISD, Providence while living and maintaining her studio in New York City.

Misra Delfin-Walker (b. 1992, Bronx, NY) is a community organizer, educator, and interdisciplinary artist. In 1971, Marvin Gaye implored the world: "What's going on?" Walker carries this question forward, what is going on, and how do we understand our present material conditions without the tools to analyze our past? Drawing on archives, oral storytelling, ephemeral materials, and popular culture, their work insists on the inseparability of past and present, tracing histories of labor, resistance, and care toward a glimpse of a future liberated from capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy.

My work is for, and made possible by:

the workers who cut fresh sugarcane and bag fronto leaves
the comrades who jump over turnstiles
the people who speak in multiple tongues
the lands that continue to inspire revolution

Juliana Hyrri is a painter and experimental writer working between image, text, and observation. Her work begins in fragments: memories, sketches, overheard conversations, and everyday perceptions, which unfold into paintings where figures, objects, and interiors slip out of place and form new, unstable relations. With a background in contemporary comics, she works with rhythm, sequencing, and interruption as structuring principles. Writing runs through her practice as titles, notes, and lists, shaping how images are read as much as how they are made. Her work moves between tenderness, irony, and quiet humour, holding meaning in a state of gentle instability.

Juliana Hyrri’s residency occurs in partnership with the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York and the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
