Just Transition Visioning Project

The Just Transition Visioning Project, launched by JTNWI and partner artists, envisions a Just Transition from the extractive economy of today—reliant on resource extraction, consumerism, exploitation, racism, militarism, and the concentration of wealth and power—to the regenerative economy of tomorrow. This new vision is rooted in resource regeneration, caring and sacredness, cooperation, deep democracy, and ecological and social well-being.

Since its launch in Spring 2024, the project has welcomed two cohorts of artists who have hosted exhibitions and other visionary activities.

If you’re a creative interested in getting involved with the Just Transition Visioning Project, email us at info@jtnwi.org.

A Just Transition is about transforming an unjust past and present into a human-centered future where the planet and everyone is taken care of, and no one is left behind.

2025 Visioning Project Exhibition

On April 25, 2025, JTNWI hosted an exhibition entitled “Students on the Frontlines of Change” at Studio 659 in Whiting in collaboration with Professor Dana Moore’s fine arts students at the Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond. Read their artist’s statement below.

“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.”
