🎨 The Just Transition Visioning Project is a program launched by JTNWI and partner artists to envision a Just Transition from the extractive, fossil fuel-powered economy of today to the renewable, regenerative economy of tomorrow. Since launching in Spring 2024, we have welcomed two cohorts of artists, each hosting their own exhibitions and other visionary activities.
On April 25th, we held a student-led exhibition entitled “Students on the Frontlines of Change” at Studio 659 in Whiting in collaboration with fine arts students at the Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond. Their artist’s statement reads:
“What if our skies were clear? What if our streets bloomed with green instead of smoke?
Together with Just Transition Northwest Indiana, We asked these questions with our hearts—and answered with our hands.
Our art speaks of a future free from pollution,where factories no longer cast shadows over our homes, and the next generation can thrive in balance with nature.
We create not just to dream,but to shape, to speak, to spark change. This is our vision of a just and beautiful world—and we believe it begins here.”
