From the source record.

Body prose as it appears in movement-graph’s published markdown for this entity. Links to other corpus entities resolve to their graph page; links to deeper repo paths are kept as text so the page does not invent a route.

Transmedia artist, educator, and Yayoi Kusama Professor of Art at Stony Brook University, where she founded the Future Histories Studio — a community-centered lab at the intersections of art, technology, race, storytelling, and social justice. MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art; graduate of the Whitney Independent Study Program.

Practice focuses on community-participatory platforms for dialogue about AI as it intersects race, gender, aging, and data sovereignty — specifically working with communities of color to co-create equitable AI ecosystems.

Inaugural recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award (2023) — first artist recognized under the LG Guggenheim Art and Technology Initiative, unrestricted honorarium of $100,000. Named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in AI (2023). Also: Creative Capital grantee (2019), Soros Equality Fellow (2018/19), Data and Society Research Institute Fellow, 2021 United States Artist Fellow, Knight Arts & Tech Fellow; Artist in Residence at Stanford HAI.

Not the Only One — ongoing multigenerational AI chatbot trained on oral histories from three generations of Dinkins's Black American family, designed to give AI cultural roots, deep history, and a Black-community perspective absent from mainstream AI training data.
