The same flexibility that SoMad seeks to embody in its structure and programming applies to its residency, and as such, none of our residents' individual experiences with the program would be identical to another's. We offer dynamic workspaces; access to resources, gallery space, and equipment; and personalized support for photography, sculpture, and multimedia art. 

Meet the 2026 Residents

Amygdala — colloquially “Amy” — is a Brooklyn based new media artist that merges drag performance, fiber art, and sound design into immersive narrative driven installations. She produces Pleasure Dome, a recurring experimental variety show coming to SoMad in Fall 2026. With the hair of a horse and a mouth of piano keys, she’s lived many lives, phasing into the mortal coil only for mischief and an ice cold Canada Dry.

Regan (they/themme/theirs) is an anthropologist, artist, curator, and educator based in Lenapehoking on the ancestral lands of the Munsee-Lenape of Manahatta and so-called Brooklyn. They are a genocide and fashion studies scholar, a textile artist, and general menace to society. They are a Social Practice CUNY (SPCUNY) fellow.

Regan’s work is multifaceted and attempts to honor conversations around land, diaspora, un/belonging, consumerism, and futurity. As a found object artist, they use reclaimed items like barricades, plastic bags, and upcycled cloth as means of combating hyperconsumption in the arts. Their art hopes to invite the community to engage in conversation and action inspired by radical, abolitionist politics, and histories. They seek to elevate craft art, which has historically been relegated into privatized spheres, becoming the artwork of women, BIPOC peoples, and queer individuals.
