This groundbreaking exhibition offers a new perspective, one that will be crucial to enabling the planet to thrive.
Why has design traditionally only focused on the needs of humans, when we exist alongside billions of animals, plants and other living beings?
This major exhibition brings together art, science and radical thinking to ask how design can help our planet thrive by shifting its focus beyond human needs. Explore a growing movement of ' more-than-human ' design, presenting a new generation of international designers whose practices embrace the idea that human activities can only flourish alongside other species and systems. It is created in collaboration with Future Observatory, the Design Museum’s national research programme for the green transition.
Featuring art, design, architecture and technology, this thought-provoking show will present visitors with radical ideas on how to design with — and better understand — the living world. By bringing together over 140 works spanning contemporary and traditional practices, fine art, product design, architecture and interactive installations, the exhibition will explore how humans can relearn to design with and for the natural world in the face of climate emergency.
