About Organisation
The Vera List Center for Art and Politics (VLC) is a unique interdisciplinary institution at The New School, dedicated to supporting the intersection of art, politics, and culture. It fosters critical inquiry through research and the development of projects that challenge societal norms. VLC serves as a collaborative hub for artists, scholars, and activists, enabling them to engage with a wide range of intellectual resources. It offers platforms for experimental and political artistic practices, supporting underrepresented voices in the art world.
About the Fellowship
The Vera List Center Fellowship supports national and international early or mid-career artists, writers, scholars, and activists, especially those from underrepresented communities. This part-time, two-year fellowship provides financial and professional resources to help fellows develop and present innovative projects. The fellowship focuses on collaborative research and community engagement within the context of the VLC’s Biennial Focus Theme. Fellows are offered substantial curatorial support and are expected to contribute to the Center’s public programming and outreach initiatives.
