The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School presents the VLC Forum 2023: Correction*, taking place October 12–14 in New York City and online. An international, annual convening in the field of art and politics, this year’s Forum is organized within the framework of the center’s two-year investigation of Correction*, exploring the potential to “correct,” amend, or transgress histories of injustice, erasure, and disrepair.
The VLC Forum 2023 celebrates the Aboriginal urban artist collective proppaNOW, recipient of the Vera List Center’s 2022–2024 Jane Lombard Prize for Art and Social Justice, as well as the Jane Lombard Fellows, finalists for the prize: the Pan-African Another Roadmap Africa Cluster (ARAC), Colectivo Cherani from Mexico, KUNCI Study Forum & Collective from Indonesia, and from Palestine Khalil Rabah.

Carmen Lane, Alan Michelson, Wanda Nanibush, Pablo José Ramírez, Sarah Rifky, and more. Over the course of three days, through an exhibition, workshops, conversations, and a community dinner and karaoke party with DJ set by ARAC member Christian Nyampeta, the Forum convenes artists and collectives working in community and advancing social justice across the world through collaborative practices.
