Description:
As the world considers transitioning out of a global pandemic that has been responsible for the loss of hundreds
of thousands of lives, has highlighted racial, class, and economic inequities, and has spurned major economic
recessions, many scientists, activists, and practitioners working on the front lines of climate change see this is an
opportunity to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable future for all. #wearestillhere? is a remote portrait
project created using projections highlighting the stories of more than 35 climate change scientists, activists,
artists, journalists, and practitioners from over 10 countries who have been impacted by COVID-19. This
project is intended to highlight the intersectionality of the climate justice movement and the impacts of the
pandemic on this critical work. Although many have encountered a vast array of challenges (i.e. loss of funding,
canceled protests, losing family members to the virus, becoming ill themselves), these individuals have found
unique and innovative ways to fight for a better world. The work has continued. It must.
