Climate Storytelling 2075 Cohort II Exhibition

September 2025 - February 2026

Queens Council on the Arts, Long Island City, NY

Climate Futures Studio is proud to partner with Grist’s Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors, highlighting their artists’ work in the gallery’s Reading Room   

Attendees took action inspired by the exhibition's "Climate Action Hall" with our featured organizations: Green Jobs Board, The League of Conservation Voters, Climate Cafe, Urban Ocean Lab, Sunrise Movement, Sun Day, Grist, Extinction Rebellion, and Global Artivism.

We thank the ever-growing climate storytelling community for co-creating a space with us to live in a world fifty years from today — a world rooted in care, justice, beauty, and respect for our kin, human and more-than-human.

Climate Futures Studio, Ofrenda Fest, and Queens Council on the Arts were delighted to welcome over 400 guests to the opening night of “Imagining Climate Futures” on Thursday, September 18, 2025.

This show was made possible by Climate Futures Studio’s partnerships with Ofrenda Fest, Queens Council on the Arts, and the Center for Developing Leaders in Science. The Studio is also deeply grateful to Remix Market LIC and Materials for the Arts, who make it possible for organizations like ours — and so many other community organizations — to access pre-loved art materials, furniture, and more. We’re proud to exist within this beautiful regenerative economy.
