Australian-born filmmaker, speculative architect and director, Liam Young, invites us to step into the future and imagine what humanity could look like. ‘In Other Worlds’takes us to an imaginary journey to experience six different possibilities.
[BLOG POST IN BIO] 🌏 What humanity could look like in the future? How the decisions we make today shape your future? 👩🚀 𝙄𝙣 𝙊𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙𝙨 𝙗𝙮 𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙢 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜 at @Barbican Centre • Six immersive rooms • Six different visions 🗓️ When 21st May – 6th September 2026 📍Where Barbican Centre – The Curve | Silk St, Barbican, London EC2Y 8DS 🎟️ Tickets Standard adult ticket: £20.50 Kids (6 – 15): £7.50 Kids under 5: Free #barbican#future#humanity#liamyoung#CapCut
“Operating in the spaces between design, fiction and futures, these works 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?” – says the description of the exhibition at the Barbican Centre.
Having been described as “the man designing our futures” by BBC, Liam Young is best-known for his richly detailed moving image installations, world-building projects and architecture collaborations.
Six Immersive Rooms Predicting Six Different Futures
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There are six different rooms to explore, each predicting a different future for humanity.
One room imagining a monstrous city with 10 billion people and 7,000 different languages which is also a 24/7 party zone as annual celebrations, festivals and carnivals of different communities overlap.
In another imaginary world, a whale swims through the ruins of a flooded AI data centre, while in a 360 degree projection space, you’ll find yourself surrounded by a vast ocean from which a huge carbon capturing machine emerges.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Huge scale projections, costumes, audio stories, film and soundscape help visitors fully soak up the alternative futures in each room.
‘In Other Worlds’ has been created with the collaboration of famous filmmakers, designers, actors and directors, including Maggie Aderin (host of BBC’s Sky at Night), Adam Young (Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), Emmy-nominated costume designer Ane Crabtree (The Handmaid’s Tale, The Sopranos, Westworld), writer Lisa Joy (Westworld, Fallout) and Chen Qiufan (AI 2041), just to name a few.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
As the exhibition breaks new ground in terms of new ideas and experiences, it also takes visitors beyond the regular exhibition spaces. It ends at Barbican’s car park, suggesting there are no boundaries of imagination and ideas.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
“This show is a not collection of solutions, but rather it’s an attempt to re-orientate us around new visions for a future that operate at planetary scales. The crises we face, they’re no longer crises of technology, but rather they’re crisis of the imagination.” – says Young.
Ready for your next adventure? Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel: The Exhibition has finally arrived in London. 34 reproduced frescoes are on display using a special technique that allows visitors to see every brushstroke! Licenced and approved by the Vatican Museum.

[MORE INFO IN BIO] Hidden Medieval Museum in London – Museum of the Order of St John 🏰⚔️ We’ve all heard of St John Ambulance. But did you know that it’s actually an ancient organisation that was established in the 11th century? The museum tells the story of that ancient military Order and how it became an international first aid charity ⛑️ • The museum is free to visit. No booking required. • You have to book a private tour (£15pp), however, to visit the crypt, the Priory Church, the Council Chamber and the Grand Chapel Hall 🏰 The beautiful Cloister Garden is open to the public 🌼🌳 📍Where St John’s Gate, 26 St John’s Ln, London EC1M 4DA (Nearest station is Farringdon) 🕰️ Opening times Mon, Tue, & Sun: CLOSED Wed – Sat: 9:30am – 5pm #hiddengems#hiddengemslondon#medievaltok#londonmuseum#knights
The Museum of the Order of St John tells the story of an ancient military Order from its origins when they cared for sick pilgrims and how it became an international first aid charity.
The museum has two parts: the gatehouse and the chapel. Visiting the gatehouse is completely free and no booking required. You can simply walk in from the street and visit the exhibition.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You can only visit the chapel, however, if you book a guided tour which run twice a day three time a week.
The gatehouse museum’s unique collection guides you through the story of the Order from its beginning to the modern day St John Ambulance.
By 1080 a hospital was established by monks in Jerusalem under the guidance of Brotherhood Gerard. The purpose of the hospital was to care for travellers and pilgrims fallen ill during their travel regardless their religion, race or social status. The group of men and women volunteers were known as ‘hospitallers’.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The story of the Order is interwoven with many historical characters, including Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Suleiman the Magnificent, Willam Shakespeare, Willam Hogarth and Dr Samuel Johnson.
A collection of medieval artefacts is on display, including intricately decorated armours, model ships, maps, ancient coins, apothecary, silverware, and medical instruments used by the members of the Order as well as ceremonial wear.
Guided Tours to Visit the Priory Church, the Crypt and the Historic Rooms in St John’s Gate
St John Priory Church
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Follow the footsteps of knight-monks, politicians, philanthropists and even William Shakespeare himself on the guided tour that discovers the many lives of St John’s Gate.
Council Chamber
Photo: Urban Adventurer
TIP: There are a number of different guided tours available. We recommend the ‘Knights, Revellers & Saviours: The Many Lives of St John’s Gate’ as it includes the Priory Church, the crypt and the historic rooms in St John’s Gate. The tour will last 60 minutes and it costs £15pp.
If you go for a guided tour, you have the rare opportunity to literally walk in the footsteps of Willam Shakespeare.
That spiral wooden staircase is the oldest Tudor staircase in London on which Shakespeare walked up to get his plays approved by the Master of the Revels.
Grand Chapel Hall
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Marvel at the beautiful architecture of the Grand Chapter Hall where numerous Royal portraits line on the walls, indicating Royal patronage throughout the centuries.
St John Priory Church
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The Church’s Priory gallery features an exhibition that let visitors get a glimpse into how life was in a medieval priory.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The Church’s Cloister Garden today provides a tranquil place to the members of the public. In the medieval times, however, it functioned as a medicinal garden where the most different herbs would have been cultivated by Knights Hospitallers to cure illnesses.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
St John’s Gate and the Norman crypt have seen many turmoils throughout the centuries. It survived the odds of the history because the building served various purposes. It served as the English headquarters of the Order in the 12th century, an office of the Master of the Revels during the 16th century (thirty of Shakespeare’s plays were licensed here!), it was also a coffee house run by Richard Hogarth, father of artist William Hogarth and even used as a pub in the 18th century.
When it was a pub, it was called The Old Jerusalem pub and welcomed such visitors like Charles Dickens.
The modern Order of St John in England was granted by Queen Victoria in 1888. The modern Order recognised the need of First Aid and ambulance transport services as no such system existed in the newly industrialised England.
The Iconic Eight Pointed Star
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The white eight-pointed cross on a black background, the symbol of the Order, remained completely unaltered over the centuries.
Today it’s known as the logo of St John Ambulance, but it was also worn on the robes of the first Brother Knights in the hospital in Jerusalem in the 11th century.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You can also see it on the floor inside the chapel. Black and white is also the colour of the Order’s uniform and you can also see black and white tiles covering the chapel’s floor.
The Crypt
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Under the black and white chapel, there is the crypt with beautiful arches and stained glass windows.
Make sure you spend a few quiet minutes here and absorb the history around you.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The crypt contains a 16th century tomb effigy believed to be Castilian Knight Hospitaller, named Don Juan de Vergara.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The stunning stain glasses above the chapel depict St John the Baptist, John Aimoner, St George, Andrew, Patrick and David as well as other knights and priors.
The Order of St John Today
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Today the Order of John is an international charity, providing first aid and healthcare services in over 40 countries.
It has over 25,000 members and 200,000 volunteers around the globe and volunteers from the rural Africa and to areas impacted by natural disasters in Asia.

The exhibition re-creates Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s London office featuring a desk, photos, objects, books, and – of course – blueprints of the Power Station.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
There is a touch-activated wall that shows how the power station was built, how it was damaged during the world wars and how it supplied electricity to London’s most famous buildings, including the Houses of Parliament and the Buckingham Palace.

The UK’s largest ever Viking experience is now open with larger than life installations, promising an unforgettable family friendly adventure.

Forest of Time
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Wander among life-sized trees in the mossy Forest of Time, step through a misty portal, discover interactive displays, listen to the call of the horn and talk to a mysterious head portrait that will answer your questions.
VR Experience Under Yggdrasil (World Tree)
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Stand underneath the Yggdrasil or ‘World Tree’ that connects the nine realms, including the earth, the underworld and the heavens.
The tree is the geological centre of the Norse spiritual cosmos. The rest of the cosmos, including the Nine Worlds, is arrayed around it and held together by the branches of the tree. The tree also connects the earth, the underworld and the heavens. Therefore, the well-being of the cosmos depends on the well-being of Yggdrasil.
Sit beneath Yggdrasil, don your VR headset and travel back in time to the 9th century Scandinavia to learn more about the saga of Aslaug. Witness the peasant girl becoming a powerful Queen, be there when she first met her future husband, Ragnar Lodbrok, and see her mystical power unfold and learn how she became a warrior and a prophet.
Junior VR experience is also available for young adventurers who are keen to learn more about Vikings but without the scary parts.
Mists of Time

Japanese artist, Chiharu Shiota’s large scale installation wraps Hayward Gallery’s top floor room from floor to ceiling. Red woollen threads cascade from the ceiling, entangle around an open wooden door, and form mysterious forests that preserve memories. Welcome to Chiharu Shiota: Threads of Life exhibition at the Hayward Gallery.
[BLOG POST IN BIO] You can visit two exhibitions for the price of one at Hayward Gallery 𝙔𝙞𝙣 𝙓𝙞𝙪𝙯𝙝𝙚𝙣: 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 🫀 This exhibition is featuring interactive elements, making it more family friendly. Xiuzhen uses second-hand clothing, household objects, concrete and food for her large scale installations. There is a giant heart that visitors can go inside and sit on pillows on the floor, a huge airplane wrapped in fabric and miniature cityscapes in suitcases🛩️🧳 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙪 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙤𝙩𝙖: 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚 🧶 Chiharu Shiota is best-known for her large-scale installations inspired by the Japanese Red String Theory (or Akai Ito). It’s a common concept in Japan that suggests that people are connected with invisible red threads that may tangle but never break. According to the theory, most of our meaningful encounters are inevitable because our lives are already connected even if we don’t know about it yet or we haven’t met yet. 📍 Where Hayward Gallery | Southbank Centre, Belvedere Rd, London SE1 8XX (Nearest station is Waterloo station) 📆 When 17th February – 3rd May 2026 🎟️ Ticket £19 @Southbank Centre #haywardgallery#southbankcentre#contemporaryart#artexhibition#CapCut
Chiharu Shiota is best-known for her large-scale installations inspired by the Japanese Red String Theory (or Akai Ito).
It’s a common concept in Japan that suggests that people are connected with invisible red threads that may tangle but never break. According to the theory, most of our meaningful encounters are inevitable because our lives are already connected even if we don’t know about it yet or we haven’t met yet.

Chiharu Shiota was born and spent her formative years in Japan. She has lived in Berlin since 1996 where she studied art and painting. Following a vivid dream of her being inside a painting, she turned her attention to find how she could turn the flat canvas into a 3D palpable installation that can enwrap the space.
That’s how she started experimenting with woollen threads. When she left Japan for Berlin, she had to move nine times over just three years within the city. This resulted of her often waking up in the morning not knowing where she was.

So, she began putting threads on her bed to create a sort of tangible boundary between dream and reality she could rely on.
Webs of Memories, Emotions and Human Connections
Photo: Urban Adventurer
During your exhibition journey, you’ll navigate through intricate tangled chambers of red and black wool.
Shiota often uses red colour for her installations, partly because it’s a symbolic colour in Japanese culture, partly because red has a deeply personal meaning to her.
Her floor-to-ceiling installations create mysterious chambers visitors can walk through feeling as though they were walking in a human artery or a womb.
Walking through the enormous geometric chambers, you’ll notice hundreds of old keys hanging from the above. Each key is part of Shiota’s collection, and each of them has its own story and meaning.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Shiota started collecting keys after a miscarriage in 2015 and her father’s death shortly after. She needed something to hold on during those depressed times; something small, something precious to her. That was when she started collecting keys.
Shiota’s art installations often involve everyday objects, including shoes, dresses and even beds.
One of the installations resembles a hospital room featuring white hospital beds, engulfed in intricate black threads. This eerie room is connected to Shiota’s early experiments with threads when she moved to Berlin.

The next room is a forest of red threads cascading from the ceiling, poignant letters attached to many of them. Each letter addressed to loved ones, some are odes to a city, some express gratitude.
Those letters are written by real people.
Shiota and Hayward Gallery had shared a social media post before the exhibition asking people to write love letters in which they show their gratitude towards something or someone. Thousands of letters arrived. Many of those letters are now part of the exhibition.
Chiharu Shiota’s Threads of Life makes the complexity of human emotions and relationships visible. It enwraps us, swallows us and touches our souls.
Two Exhibitions for One Price Chiharu Shiota and Yin Xiuzhen
Tickets to the exhibition start from £19 and that contains not only the Threads of Life exhibition by Chiharu Shiota, but you can also visit Heart to Heart by Chinese artist, Yin Xiuzhen!
Yin Xiuzhen: Heart to Heart
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Yin Xiuzhen and Chiharu Shiota share interest in creating artworks that are adventurous and experimental while using everyday objects.
Chinese artist, Yin Xiuzhen is also known for her large scale installations. The materials Xiuzhen uses include second-hand clothing, household objects, concrete and food.
The first installation is an airport including a baggage carousel and a huge airplane wrapped in fabric. Each bag on the carousel contains a mini cityscape that the artist shrank into the size that fit into a suitcase. Those suitcases do not just contain mini worlds, though. Each is packed with Yin Xiuzhen’s memories and her concern about globalisation.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The next installation is an enormous heart wrapped in red, pink and orange second-hand clothing. Xiuzhen’s interest in textiles began in her childhood when her mother worked in a garment factory.
Visitors can walk inside the heart where they can find pillows to sit on and spend time there. And maybe do even a bit of heart-to-heart with a friend.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Collective Subconscious (Blue) is another interactive artwork.
It’s a long minivan with 20 mini wheels on each side reminiscent of that caterpillar cake became popular a few years ago. The installation is wrapped in over 400 pieces of clothing. Inside, there are tiny wooden stools to sit on.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The installation reminds the artist of the period of idealism of the 1990s Beijing. The artwork carries a serious message that will be understood for those familiar with the Chinese song “Beijing Beijing” by Wang Feng.
The next artworks is called Ruined City and it’s a poignant memorial of the old buildings of Beijing that were demolished to make space for modern buildings.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The installation is made from old roof tiles and concrete pieces from buildings no longer exist. It builds a memorial using not only physical materials, but memories and traces of history those roof tiles and concrete pieces carry.
Adult ticket starts from £19 and it includes both Chiharu Shiota: Threads of Lifeand Yin Xiuzhen: Heart to Heart exhibitions.
Ready for your next adventure? Ramses and the Pharaohs’ Gold: The Exhibition is now open at NEON Battersea Power Station. There are over 180 original objects borrowed from the Egyptian Museum, including the wooden coffin of Ramses II.
