Land Justice Art & Education Lab

Land Justice Art and Education Lab

Through our Land Justice Art & Education Lab program, we host culturally rooted art events, social justice art workshops, and land justice curriculum to distribute resources building a community rooted in sustainable activism. Art has always been at the root of movements and education. Through our lab, we provide an accessible pathway for people to learn from community educators, organizers, and artists about how art can be used to explore ancestral knowledge, build community power, and harness storytelling to create change. These lessons are interconnected.

We’ve implemented climate justice curriculum across NY, TX, CT, MA, CA, NV, NJ, MI and more. We employ a critical consciousness framework to co-create programming alongside youth, educators, activists, and community members, ensuring environmental justice education resonates deeply within public schools.

Our curriculum prioritizes long-term education, improved learning outcome, civic engagement, and environmental empowerment, resulting in student-led projects ranging from policy advocacy to school gardens.

We’ve reached 120,000 K-12 students through our curriculum, 6,000+ through our direct programming (including after school programs, professional development, workshops, garden hubs, teacher cohort, and the nyc summer youth employment program as well as the nyc work, learn, grow program).
