ArtScience Museum in Singapore will give Asia its first showing of More than Human: Making With the Living World, an exhibition about how humans and other species might live together. It opens on 28 November 2026 and runs until 16 May 2027, bringing together more than 140 artworks, installations and interactive experiences by nearly 55 artists, designers, architects, researchers and communities.

Visitors move through three thematic sections designed by Singapore-based practice Lekker Architects, taking inspiration from hedge mazes, archipelagos and woodland environments to create different settings for exploring connections between humans, animals and ecosystems. Among the featured works is Berl-Berl by Jakob Kudsk Steensen, a large immersive audiovisual installation that takes visitors into a changing digital wetland inspired by the landscape that became Berlin. Aki Inomata's How to Carve a Sculpture uses wood shaped by beavers to ask whether creativity belongs only to humans, while Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg's Pollinator Pathmaker imagines gardens designed around the needs of pollinating species, rendered as an eight-metre tapestry.

Sensory installations by Marshmallow Laser Feast, Ursula Biemann and Zheng Mahler reveal ecological systems and connections that are often hard to see. The exhibition was originally developed by the Design Museum in London alongside its green transition research programme, Future Observatory. For Singapore it has been expanded with 25 additional works co-curated by ArtScience Museum and supported by DesignSingapore Council, bringing regional knowledge and Asian perspectives into the show, including works by Bewilder, Lena Bui, Ines Katamso, Khvay Samnang, Zarina Muhammad, Isa Pengskul, Citra Sasmita, Studio SKLIM, Superlative Futures, and the supersystem and VAAS.

Local institutions contribute research, collaborations and loans, among them the National Parks Board's Bee Trail, the National University of Singapore's Experimental Marine Ecology Laboratory's Fish Houses, and traditional Southeast Asian fish traps from the Asian Civilisations Museum. Angelita Teo of Marina Bay Sands said it was important to bring the museum's own perspective to the show, connecting its ideas with how people here understand and live alongside nature. Justin McGuirk of Future Observatory described it as capturing a movement dedicated to the flourishing of the natural systems people depend on.
