About the Vera List Center for Art and Politics
The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School is dedicated to serving as catalyst for the discourse on the role of the arts in society and their relationship to the socio-political climate in which they are created. It seeks to achieve this through the organization of public programs that respond to the pressing social and political issues of our time as they are being articulated by the academic community and visual and performing artists. The center strives to enhance the university’s educational mission by bringing together scholars and students, the people of New York, and national and international audiences in an exploration of new possibilities for civic engagement.
Each academic year, the center dedicates its programs to one overarching theme, allowing for a continuous, in-depth, and interdisciplinary investigation. The theme for 2004/2005 was “Homeland,” followed by “Considering Forgiveness” in 2005/2006. The theme for 2006/2007 is “The Public Domain.”
Established in 1992 by a generous grant from the late Vera List, a Life Trustee of New School University, the Vera List Center embodies the legacy of The New School’s historic involvement with the avant-garde in the arts. For a current listing of programs, visit www.vlc.newschool.edu.
