The contours of our collective destiny are too often shaped by a narrow spectrum of perspectives, rooted in Western, settler-colonial worldviews. This narrow view has produced a widely accepted vision of succumbing to a dystopian narrative, preordained by only a select few. This project was launched on the conviction that it is time we asked:

How do you envision a desirable climate future in the year 2075?

Centering the experiences, knowledge, and alternative ways of knowing of frontline, BIPOC, queer, and young communities is crucial in shaping our collective understanding of climate futures. By amplifying the voices of frontline communities, we collectively build a more inclusive and equitable vision of the future.

Together, these works highlight the importance of centering imagination in the fight for a thriving Earth. These artists demonstrate that creativity and imagination are not just valuable experimentations, but necessary tools in envisioning and crafting a desirable future. By bringing diverse perspectives and intersectional themes to the forefront, these young artists emphasize the interconnectedness of social, environmental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

Their visionary work underscores the urgent need to reimagine our relationship with the Earth and each other, fostering a collective hope and actionable pathways for a better world in 2075 and beyond.
