PUBLIC PROGRAMS

We curate public events that highlight the wide-ranging and imaginative efforts of citizens, community groups, organizers, nonprofit organizations, urbanists, housing advocates, and local policymakers who are actively working to transform neighborhoods, cities, and communities from the ground up. These events celebrate the power of collective action and local knowledge, offering a platform for diverse voices and bold ideas. Our programming includes a variety of formats—radical listening sessions, expert lectures, panel discussions, film screenings, and open dialogues—that foster inclusive, cross-sector conversations. Events take place both in the heart of local communities and at The New School, creating spaces where critical issues can be explored, shared, and reimagined through meaningful public engagement.
