Kōmij Mour Ijin / Our Life is Here comes to UC Berkeley in Fall 2026.

Through a series of compelling installations, screenings, and public programming across campus and the surrounding community will share creative works amplifying Marshallese voices and inviting us all to confront climate colonialism, imagine alternative futures, and recognize our shared responsibility for planetary care.

Curated by Amy Kisch of AKArt Advisory and Svea Lin Soll, the installations will engage students, faculty, and the broader public in a multi-sited exploration of how art can deepen our understanding of climate change and the actions we must take—not just as an environmental crisis, but as a complex cultural and geopolitical challenge.

UC Berkeley’s scholars across disciplines will anchor the programming for the duration of the exhibition, drawing interdisciplinary connections and reflecting on how art can illuminate the entanglements of climate, history, and our collective future.
