Environmental Justice Artivist Fellowship® 2024 FELLOWS

In response to NASA's alarming findings regarding record-breaking temperatures in the summer of 2023, the Fifth National Climate Assessment showing D.C. region climate risks, and the recent release of Carbon Free DC strategy, Social Art and Culture, in collaboration with the Arts Program at the Aspen, is pioneering a sustainable economic framework where artivists play a pivotal role alongside scientists, researchers, and climate experts to confront the impacts of climate change and environmental injustice in the District. The fellowship's significance is further underscored by support from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, East Arts grant, highlighting the crucial role of artivism in driving social change.

artivisTs for health initiatives

The success of AFH’s teaser campaign launch at the DMV Made: A Culture and Wellness Festival on July 27, 2024, demonstrates the power of our approach. DMV Made engaged 5,000 attendees at The National Mall, and we transformed public health awareness into an interactive art experience during this festival. With a live visual storytelling session led by celebrated DC graphic designer Jim Nuttle and supported by NOAA and DC Water, over 100 participants co-created solutions to the health impacts of lead exposure and urban heat.  This engagement achieved three critical outcomes:

  • Community Ownership: Visitors directly shaped actionable solutions to foster accountability and trust.
  • Data Visualization: New ideas, patterns, and disparities were identified in real-time, enabling targeted interventions.
  • Lasting Impact: The art became a powerful advocacy artifact accessible to policymakers and stakeholders alike.

This success underscores AFH’s ability to merge creativity, science, and community collaboration to achieve tangible and measurable results.
