More than Human will be open exclusively to programme participants between 6pm and 9pm on the evening of 28 November 2026. All tickets include same-day exhibition admission.

What does it mean to live in relation with a place, a landscape, a material or another living being?
Marking the opening of More than Human, In Relation invites audiences into the exhibition for an evening of in-gallery roving conversations with artists, designers and practitioners whose work explores ways of living and making beyond a human-centred perspective.
Bringing together voices from Singapore, Southeast Asia and beyond, this programme offers an opportunity to encounter the exhibition through the perspectives of those who contributed to it. Across two connected sessions, conversations unfold among the artworks, exploring how our relationships with place shape the ways we live and make, and how practices of attention, observation and listening can reveal connections that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Join us to look more closely at the worlds we inhabit, and consider what new ways of seeing might emerge when we recognise ourselves as part of a larger, living world.

How might our understanding of place change when we recognise it as a web of relationships between people, materials, histories and other forms of life?
Places are never simply backdrops to human activity. They are shaped by histories, cultural practices, built environments and the many forms of life that inhabit them. This session brings these relationships into focus through works in More than Human and perspectives from architecture, urbanism, cultural memory and ecological research.
The conversation will unfold among the artworks to consider how our surroundings shape what we make, how we live and whose experiences inform the places we create. It will also turn towards Singapore and Southeast Asia, where dense urban environments, changing coastlines and layered cultural histories offer particular ways of thinking about our interdependence with the living world.

How might paying closer attention change the way we encounter the world?
What we notice—and what escapes our attention—shapes how we understand the world around us. This session explores attention as a creative and ecological practice, bringing together artists whose work engages with ecological systems, material experimentation and alternative forms of knowledge.
Through their approaches to observation, listening and making, the speakers consider what might become possible when we attend to the world on its own terms, rather than seeing it only through the lens of human needs and experience. Moving between artworks in the galleries, audiences are invited to slow down, look more closely and consider how different ways of sensing and knowing might change our understanding of the more-than-human world.

More than Human explores the connections between people, plants, animals and our shared world. It is a large-scale exhibition that inspires visitors of all ages to discover how people learn from nature, work with living systems and imagine new ways to care for the planet. At its heart is a simple question: what might the future look like if we designed not just for people, but with animals, plants and entire ecosystems in mind?
Featuring more than 140 artworks, objects, immersive installations, new commissions and hands-on experiences, More than Human brings together international artists, designers, architects, researchers and communities, whose work shows how creativity can reshape the way we understand nature and our place within it.
The exhibition introduces more-than-human design, an approach that considers the needs of animals, plants and ecosystems. Through playful and thought-provoking works, visitors can explore how living things are connected, and how care and cooperation can shape a better shared future.
More than Human encourages us to see the world anew. From forests and oceans to gardens and everyday materials, it inspires us to notice the living systems that support us and imagine how we can care for them. It offers a new way of seeing ourselves: not apart from nature, but as part of a larger family of life.
More than Human is a touring exhibition from the Design Museum, London, developed in collaboration with Future Observatory (UK), the Design Museum’s national research programme for the green transition, and supported by the UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council (UK). Expanded for Singapore with new works and perspectives from across Asia, this edition is co-curated by ArtScience Museum and the Design Museum, London, and supported by DesignSingapore Council.
