The insitution acts as an intellectual hub for critical discussion that informs, influences, and drives our shared understanding of the world today. Presented in the form of symposia, keynote lectures, long-term reading groups, and workshops, and continuously experimenting with communication formats, our public programs bring together the world’s foremost thinkers to instigate global debate in the field of visual culture. Building on its long history of framing debate, the institution is equally committed to interrelated research fields across the humanities as diverse as law, literature, anthropology, and journalism. Our events are live-streamed and preserved as a freely accessible online resource.
