Drawing attention to the climate crisis, “HURT EARTH” was a powerful public artwork by Jenny Holzer that was activated in the United Kingdom to coincide with COP26 (2021), the 26th annual United Nations summit on climate change, and in Los Angeles, CA to coincide with the Ninth Summit of the Americas (2022).

In a series of monumental light projections, guerilla projections, and static and LED billboards, Holzer highlighted excerpts of writings, testimonies, speeches and interviews from climate leaders and activists across the globe, including Climate Vulnerable Forum, Fridays for Future, Indigenous Environmental Network, Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities, U.S. Climate Action Network, WWF and many more.

In the U.K. “HURT EARTH” was co-produced by Shore Art Advisory and Artwise Curators, and was presented in collaboration with Art For Your World, a movement by WWF to engage the art world in the fight against climate change.

Shore Art Advisory produced the U.K. and U.S. iterations of "HURT EARTH" in partnership with the Emerson Collective.
