This event is hosted in collaboration with Climate Futures Studio at the Queens Council on the Arts, where the "Imagining Climate Futures” exhibition is currently on display. The exhibit showcases 18 original works created by members of the 2025 cohort of Climate Storytelling 2075—emerging artists, writers, and activists who envision a regenerative and just climate future fifty years from now.
Participants are invited to explore the show to experience a broad range of media—from immersive sound environments and video installations to data-driven visuals, short speculative fiction, and textiles—that ask audiences to envision, and sense, the inevitable outcomes of environmental justice, community resilience, and interspecies kinship.
This exhibit marks the public premiere of Volume II of the Climate Storytelling 2075 anthology — Volume I launched during New York Climate Week 2024. Expect deeply imaginative, hopeful, and regenerative responses to the question: How do you envision a desirable climate future in the year 2075?
