NWA-ORC | Principal Investigator: Dr. Colin Sterling | 2026-2031 | PhD candidate in this project: Zoi Psimmenou. 'JUST ART: Creating Common Grounds for Climate Justice Through Artistic Research' is a six year project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and led by the University of Groningen.

Bringing together artists, researchers, campaigners and communities in rural and urban regions across the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the project aims to cultivate diverse strategies of climate justice through artistic research and creative practice. 

The complexity and scale of the climate crisis can feel overwhelming. Artistic practice and artistic research can open up new ways of understanding the intersectional dimensions of this crisis so that people feel empowered to act, wherever they are. This grounded approach is central to the JUST ART project. From Aruba to Brabant, from the Wadden Islands to Twente, and from the polders to Curaçao, JUST ART will promote climate justice in contexts where the crisis is most acutely felt, and where action is most urgently needed.
