| Jakob Kudsk Steensen () is a Denmark-based artist who uses virtual spaces to explore ecological storytelling. In his work “Boreal Dreams,” inspired by the Marcell Experimental Forest, he simulates the future of our climate at five different temperatures and atmospheric conditions. Steensen explores futurity by layering time, consciousness, environmental change, technology, and dreams into abstract digital worlds that might lead us to think: how will climate change reimagine our being at every level?

| Gillian Dueñas (.art) is a CHamoru artist who explores themes of cultural storytelling, matriarchy, and climate justice. In her piece “goggue i tasi” translated to “protect the ocean,” Dueñas personifies the ocean as a feminine figure experiencing the distress of rising sea temperatures, symbolized by bleached corals. Dueñas incorporates texture by using natural fibers, specifically poksi and pandanus, which represent sustainability and ancestral knowledge.

Earlier this April, we co-hosted “Stronger Together: Uniting Immigrant Justice and Climate Justice in New York City” with the New York University Department of Environmental Studies, the New York Immigration Coalition, and WE ACT.

Speakers included Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow Breanna Byrd (), Briana Carbajal (), Carlos Arnao (), and Marry Miss (). The conversation was introduced by Sonali McDermid (), anchored by the work of intersectional artist Niceli Portugal (), and moderated by Emma Winkley ().

Together, they explored how the climate justice and immigrant justice movements can work together to build collective resilience and a more just future.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this important conversation!

| J Henry Fair () is a photographer and filmmaker. In his “Hand of Man,” Fair photographs fossil fuel infrastructure from an aerial perspective. He creates a distance—and an abstraction—from what’s happening on the ground. The aerial perspective exposes the fossil fuel industry and subverts the green and blue Earth we expect to see from above. By making beautiful images of destructive subjects, Fair creates a sense of irony, provoking conversations on climate change, the fossil fuel industry, and damaged environments.

| “Bearing Witness” is a collaboration project between artists Diane Burko () and Anna Tas (). The project uses circular visuals and abstract colors to depict views of the Earth at different levels, from aerial to microscopic. As the images cycle, “Bearing Witness” allows us to watch how environments change through time, particularly as climate change drastically alters our landscapes.

| Annabelle Schneider () is a Swiss born, New York based artist and experience designer working with multisensory environments. “Breathe With Me” is her immersive, public installation in the Tashkent City Mall in Uzbekistan. The soft, breathing structure expands and contracts with air, inviting visitors to reconnect with their own breath. Inside, inspired by nomadic structures of Central Asia, the work offers visitors a place for reflection and re-attunement with the body’s natural rhythms. In a region where climate impacts are severe and palpable—they include the drying of the Aral Sea, which contributes to polluted air and respiratory illness—the work encourages us to reflect on breath as a fragile and shared resource shaped by climate and human impact.
