The grant will allow internationally renowned guest artists and scholars to give free public lectures at The New School in fall 2011. The confirmed guests to date include: artist Julie Mehretu, artist and cultural theorist Kodwo Eshun, composer and scholar George Lewis, sociology professor Alondra Nelson, and filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu.
