The International Institute St. Louis is an official Counterpublic 2026: Coyote Time exhibition site

Founded over a century ago, the International Institute of St. Louis has welcomed tens of thousands of new Americans through its refugee resettlement program, serving as a vital hub for immigrant communities in St. Louis. In the wake of a full federal defunding, Counterpublic will reimagine the campus with an international team of artists, as well as introduce a full-time fellowship at the Institute.

Diya Vij, Counterpublic 2023 Curator, has been appointed New York’s next Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Affairs by Mayor Zohran Mamdani. In a statement to the New York Times, Mayor Mamdani called Vij a ā€œvisionary and deeply thoughtful leader.ā€

ā€œI’m excited to apply my political lens to strengthening the systems that makes open, accessible and sometimes radical cultural activities possible,ā€ Diya Vij says about her recent appointment.

Vij worked alongside fellow curators Allison Glenn, New Red Order, Risa Puleo, Katherine Simóne Reynolds, and James McAnally to build Counterpublic 2023 in St. Louis. Diya’s projects included:
→ Steffani Jemison’s multimedia installations throughout St. Louis Union Station - Jemison’s penny press was recently installed at The Griot
→ virgil b/g taylor’s ā€œConfluence Decreeā€ dispatches and newspaper box
→ Jordan Weber’s ā€œDefensive Landscapesā€ – now a permanent feature in Peace Park

This year, Counterpublic 2026: Coyote Time opens in September and will run through December 12, 2026, featuring work from over 50 artists collectively curated by Jordan Carter, Raphael Fonseca, Stefanie Hessler, Nora N. Khan, and Wanda Nanibush.

Announcing Counterpublic 2026: Coyote Time, opening September 12.

Envisioning a shared near future with boldness and hope, Coyote Time brings together fifty new artist commissions and selected historical artworks presented at multiple public sites throughout the city. Counterpublic’s third triennial edition, Coyote Time will present daring new artist works, public programs and events, and long-lasting civic initiatives centering urgent global concerns including climate, education, and immigration.

Coyote Time derives from the title of artist Alice Bucknell’s commissioned artwork for the exhibition, marking the moment in a video game when a character leaps off a cliff and is suspended in midair, unsure of what comes next. This moment of anticipation guides the exhibition, where uncertainty creates a space for experimentation and possibility. The artworks and ideas presented in the exhibition invite audiences to inhabit Coyote Time – to take the risk of jumping into the unknown with faith, purpose, and intentionality.
