JUST ART 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 to cultivate diverse strategies of climate justice through artistic research and creative practice. Framer Framed is a partner of the two strands Just Practices: Centring Climate and Multispecies Justice in the Visual and Performing Arts and Just Production: Soil Ecologies and Life-Sustaining Goods.

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: Creating Common Grounds for Climate Justice Through Artistic Research project. From Aruba to Brabant, from the Wadden Islands to Twente and from the polders to Curaçao, JUST ART promotes climate justice in contexts where the crisis is most acutely felt, and where action is most urgently needed.

The project unfolds over the next six years (2026 – 2031) through multiple collaborative research projects delivered by partners across the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The project is structured around five core research themes alongside a strand of work focused on governance and synthesis. The kick-off event on 5 March 2026 at Framer Framed introduces the project’s ideas, themes and plans, while creating plenty of room for conversation, collaboration and fresh inspiration among everyone involved.

We will be advertising ten PhD positions across the project at the start of 2026 (details below).

The JUST ART project will unfold through collaborative research and education with the below academic and cultural partners.
