The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School has—under its director Carin Kuoni—been an instigator in drawings links between artistic and design practices and the real world of politics.

Once again it is highlighting such an issue with a series of discussions, Who Builds Your Architecture?, that connects construction and labor.
