We belong to an incredible ecosystem. One species among millions of others, striving to live together in a delicate balance. It’s a vital connection, and one we can’t afford to lose. It’s time to look at our world – the natural world – in different ways.
Join us on an immersive exploration of radical ideas for the way we live. Where technology brings us closer to nature, and indigenous insight reconnects us to our roots. Enter the story of our future, with perspectives spanning art, science, activism – and more.
Imagine sitting down to eat, next to diners from other species. Commuting through a rewilded city, over a bridge made of roots. Immersing yourself in the magnificent underground world of soil. Created with guest curators Caroline Till and Kate Franklin, discover dynamic responses to the climate emergency. Engage with our shared habitat like never before. It’s Our Time on Earth. What are we going to do with it?
The Barbican Centre is hosting an exhibition on how technology, both modern and indigenous, can help us live in a more symbiotic relationship with nature. Taking place from 5 May to 29 August 2022, Our Time on Earth spans 18 works organized into three sections.
Highlights include the Refuge for Resurgance installation by London studio Superflux, Liam Young’s Planet City movie and a collaboration between Buro Happold engineers and different indigenous groups around the world.
