A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • The 2026 Material Lab Prize was awarded to Caleb Callahan, BFA Fashion Design ’26, for his collection Cork, Kerala. “Callahan draws inspiration from Irish and Indian anti-colonial resistance, incorporating a range of craft traditions into an explicitly political, layered collage… The jury recognized the collection for its authentic synthesis of craft traditions, striking visual execution, and cohesive storytelling, particularly for its ability to transform recycled materials into a compelling language of resistance.”

  • Chair of Creative Arts Therapy (CAT) Valerie Hubbs was invited to participate in Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Festival, taking place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at Spring Studios in Manhattan. The Festival is the largest community event dedicated to World Mental Health Day, bringing together leaders from policy, media, culture, sports, business, and clinical care to help shape the future of mental health. Pratt CAT will present two back-to-back experiential workshops that introduce participants to creative arts therapy and our distinctive approach to mental health and well-being through creative expression, embodied experience, relational connection, and the therapeutic process. Selected CAT students will copresent, providing them with an opportunity to earn alternative clinical training hours while gaining valuable experience. 

  • The City University of New York’s Brooklyn News Service reported on the “Big Problems v Bigger Solutions: Data Centers & Clean Energy Transition,” public workshop hosted by the Sustainable Environmental Systems (SES) program at Pratt Manhattan. “We’re here today to talk about energy, which as an issue is really scary,” said Summer Sandoval, academic coordinator of MS in SES and visiting assistant professor in GCPE. Speakers at the event discussed issues such as pollution, how information about AI is shared, energy usage, and the financial impacts of AI.

  • Dezeen’s favorite lighting and furniture from September includes a floor lamp from Adjunct Assistant Professors of Integrative Courses Loney Abrams and Jonathan Stanish, both MID ’13. “The designers split their practice between making lamps and mirrors out of sharp, interlocking fragments of laser-cut metal; and beautifully textured lighting and wallhangings crafted from stainless steel chainmail, woven to reflect the style of American folk art tapestries.”

  • Students in Adjunct Associate Professor of Undergraduate Communications Design Fanny Krivoy’s User Experience studio recently visited Mercer Labs to explore “how sound, light, color, touch and space can tell a story.”

  • Christine Khalil, MS Urban Placemaking and Management ’27, talked about her internship, favorite class, and aspirations for the program’s Instagram page.

  • Lecturer in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies Dominik Heinrich recently spoke at a conference on artificial intelligence in Las Vegas. “[Heinrich] argued that [more capable AI agents] can become a competitive advantage rather than a threat. Humans, they said, are master learners. The edge is understanding how you learn, how you make judgments and where your thinking defaults lie, then using AI to stretch rather than simply mirror them.”
