Introducing the 2025 Cohort

The second cohort of Climate Storytelling 2075 brings together a radically multidisciplinary group of emerging and young artists, scientists, and storytellers from around the world. Their projects envision a sustainable 2075 through a diverse range of mediums—including animation, photography, data visualization, film, speculative fiction and garment design, music, and sculpture—each deeply rooted in cultural heritage, intersectional perspectives, and environmental justice.

This cohort is uniquely positioned to create expansive and transformative narratives by bridging science & storytelling, centering Indigenous & ancestral knowledge, and innovating across disciplines - from sculpture in collaboration with plants to speculative farming uniforms to jazz compositions and tactile, celebratory dances. This in-progress anthology embraces a radical hope in our collective climate future. In blending history with speculation, and personal identity with global systems, this cohort is crafting visions of 2075 that are as urgent as they are inspiring.

This cohort marks a turning point in the evolution of the Climate Storytelling 2075 program, in which we evolved from an inaugural cohort of 10 artists producing 9 artworks across the United States, up to 22 artists producing 20 works, hailing from around the world: Morocco, Mauritius, the Philippines, Canada, and the United States.
