Program

The Vera List Center Forum 2025: Matter of Intelligence brings together interdisciplinary cultural thinkers around the subject of intelligence, exploring both its material and intangible implications. With visionary artists, curators, scholars, and technologists, the VLC Forum presents an electrifying series of talks, performances, and live broadcasts that collectively illuminate the many forms intelligence can take.


This fall marks the launch of the center’s 2025–2027 Focus Theme, Matter of Intelligence. Anchored by the VLC Fellows—Moriah Evans, Mashinka Hakopian, Joyce Joumaa, and Kira Xonorika—this year’s VLC Forum offers a first public glimpse into their unfolding fellowship projects. Each artist is joined by a special guest of their choice in dialogue or parallel inquiry.


Philosopher Matteo Pasquinelli delivers the keynote lecture. The annual VLC Community Dinner explores the mind-gut axis through food, setting the stage for bold ideas, unexpected connections, and powerful new insights into the intelligence Focus Theme that will unfold over the next two years.


The VLC Forum, taking place at The New School and online on Friday, October 17, and Saturday, October 18, also announces the recipient of the 2025–2027 Jane Lombard Prize for Art and Social Justice along with the Jane Lombard Fellows, representing the prize’s extraordinary finalists.


Programming is free and open to the public with advanced registration.
