After the End of the World

As one of the most significant pieces of legislation in environmental history, the Paris Agreement has the power to change civilization as we know it. Signed by 195 countries, the climate accord aims to unite the world in reducing carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuels, in order to stop a rise in global temperature of more than two degrees. ‘After The End Of The World’ goes further than just providing a scientific explanation of climate change, and uses art and simulation to demonstrate the planet’s depleting resources. It also sparks a conversation about what the world will look like in the latter half of the 21st century, and our society’s responsibility to future generations. Through multidisciplinary pieces, the exhibition makes viewers fully aware of what could happen if the Paris Agreement isn’t successful. Such pieces include 'Superflux', a speculative look at what a London apartment in the year 2050 might look like, and the 'Environmental Health Clinic', a reimagining of relations between animal and plant life forms created by engineer and artist Natalie Jeremijenko.
