The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School announces its spring 2023 programs under its 2022–24 focus theme Correction.
The VLC’s spring lineup includes projects that investigate decolonial frameworks for unraveling conceptions of “correction” through talks, film screenings, performances, publications, a reading series, and an exhibition.

This program focuses on cyberfeminism, looking at recent art that draws on (re)generative technologies of artificial intelligence and biological reproduction, and brings together histories of technoscientific study and cultural metaphors of inheritance and kinship with Maria Fernandez, Mindy Seu, Margaret Tan, and moderator Irina Aristkharkova. SWEET PEA: YOUR OTHER PROGENY is part of the Singapore Biennial, produced by The New School faculty member Jeannine Tang and presented in collaboration with the Singapore Art Museum.

Conflicting Relations
Saturday, March 11, 2023, 11–4pm EST
Starr Foundation Hall, The New School
This two-part program, produced in collaboration with Frame Contemporary Art Finland as part of its 2019-23 Rehearsing Hospitalities series, brings together institutions, curators, and artists whose activities transcend beyond hospitality and work as correctives to prescribed host and guest hierarchies. It does so in collaboration with Matti Aikio (2022-2023 Vera List Center Sámi Fellow), whose practice focuses on Indigenous sovereignty and the continuous confrontation between Sámi culture and the utilization of natural resources by Nordic nation states.
