The Human Impacts Institute (HII) is seeking an artist or artist collective to design and produce a **mobile and virtual sound installation** amplifying the climate demands of youth from over 40 countries, particularly those from frontline, BIPOC, and underrepresented communities.

This installation will be a centerpiece of our **Climate Week 2025** in **New York City**  programming and part of our ongoing **Artivism & Amplifiers (A&A)** and **Creative Climate Communications** (**C3) Lab** initiatives, in partnership with UMI Fund and the NYC Department of Environmental Justice. It will transform global youth voices into a compelling, immersive audio-visual experience that educates, inspires, and mobilizes climate action. We are looking for innovative proposals that embrace collaboration, equity, accessibility, and deep engagement with community stories. The sound installation will be exhibited in either an indoor or outdoor space (depending on the artist's proposal and capacity), with high foot traffic preferred.

**What We're Looking For:**

* A sound-based installation (with optional visual elements) that can exist both online and as a mobile physical exhibit.
* Artistic interpretation of climate justice messages gathered from A&A youth participants across the Global North and South.
* Work that is emotionally resonant, multi-sensory, and able to spark conversation and action.
* An approach that reflects both urgent ("fast") and reflective ("slow") responses to the climate crisis is a plus, but not required.

  

**Stipend:** $5500 (incl. materials and stipend).
