Transdisciplinary art and climate science research collaborations are not necessarily happening on eye level, leading to marginalised knowledge. Establishing epistemic justice in knowledge co-creation between artists, climate scientists, societal actors, and the more-than-human is crucial since it strives to contribute to social justice in the context of Climate and EcoJustice. This study explores underlying assumptions in art and climate science collaborations and their root causes to further investigate emerging practices, methods, and processes that promote epistemic justice and are undoing assumptions and consequently implement them for improved outputs regarding Climate and EcoJustice. As a conceptual framework, the combination of the concepts and movements of Ecological Art, Transdisciplinarity, and Climate and EcoJustice will be applied. Using data acquired through participatory interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and the transdisciplinary methods of actor constellation and storywall, I will suggest emerging challenges, issues, and inspirations in transdisciplinary processes. In addition, I will discuss the priorities of some practices over others by adding reflections from which can be learned when creating future art and climate science transdisciplinary research projects. The research is significant as it addresses power dimensions present in collaborations and practices on a societal, political, and scientific level in the context of art, ecology, and the environment and marginalised knowledge.
