About the exhibition
The year is 2027.
Human societies, largely undeterred by the warnings of environmental scientists, have continued to emit pollutants at damaging rates. The average annual temperature on Earth has risen by 1.5 degrees Celsius, as predicted in worst-case climate model scenarios…
What would you do if you arrived into this scenario?
No, wait. What would you do if you arrived in this scenario … as a sandworm?
For World Oceans Day 2022, we invite you to take part in playful and serious consideration of the future of our oceans… differently.
The POD exhibition presents the outcomes of a collaborative immersion experiment run in 2022, in which MA students at the Royal College of Art were immersed in a plausible catastrophic future climate scenario—but largely from the perspective of nonhumans.
The works created and displayed explore a set of shared fictional realities, illustrating how humans can develop fascinating ways to approach ‘wicked problems’ by thinking through new perspectives, and learning to think and play across established boundaries.
(During the month of June, £1 of all Ocean Leisure sales, including online sales, will be donated to Galapagos Conservation Trust.)
