JUST ART is the name of the research project in which ten higher education institutions and forty social partners from rural and urban regions – from the Randstad to Aruba – come up with new perspectives and solutions in the fight against climate injustice. The ultimate goal: to help people take action.
“We know that our lifestyle is detrimental to the livelihoods of others, that we don’t sufficiently consider the needs of animals and plants or consider future generations. We also know that there are solutions. But it is quite difficult to understand how everything is connected, and the different ways in which everyone can contribute. It is precisely there that art can open the eyes.”
Prof. Dr. Katja Kwastek is Professor of Modern and Contemporary Art and is associated with the project on behalf of VU Amsterdam. She was recently interviewed by Idea magazine for social sciences and humanities alumni.
