The Barbican Centre’s new immersive exhibition ‘in Other Worlds’ invites visitors to step into the future as Liam Young’s imaginary worlds take over various locations at the Barbican inviting us to imagine the future of humanity and the challenges and adventures to come. 
This is the first major UK solo exhibition of the filmmaker and speculative architect Liam Young who operates in the spaces between design, fiction and futures. The works in the exhibition will immerse us in the consequences and opportunities of the decisions we make today. It is about stepping away from dystopia, asking: what if the future could actually be... hopeful?
