Since 1919, The New School has been home to scholars, creators, and activists who challenge convention and boldly make their mark on the world.
To celebrate this groundbreaking legacy, we are opening our doors to the public for a weeklong festival of innovative performances, talks, workshops, screenings, exhibitions, and more.

On October 1–6, 2019, join us as we reflect on a century of world-changing ideas and together imagine a new kind of future.

Listen to this WSNR The New School Radio feature with Robert Sember, one of the organizers of the 400 Years of Inequality Committee at The New School.

The Cotton Series is a multimedia project that explores the experiences of Black women within the USA and the ways in which Black women have had to exist in this country in the past and present while trying to envision a brighter future. It functions as an investigation of Black womanhood and its unspoken sisterhood as it interacts with the many facets of living in America historically and presently. It is a collection of dance works that explores Black women’s relationships with food, Black men, family, community, love, and their overall contributions within the United States of America
