Our Time on Earth

5 May-29 Aug 2022

Barbican Art Gallery
London EC2Y 8DS

Overview

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. And engage with our shared habitat like never before.

It’s Our Time on Earth. What are we going to do with it?
