Liam Young

Planetary Imaginaries is an exhibition by director and worldbuilder Liam Young, developed with science fiction writers from around the world. Through fictional worlds spanning microscopic to planetary scales, the works examine how imagined futures respond to ecological damage, technological infrastructure, and large-scale restoration. The exhibition proposes a contemporary speculative language shaped by repair, consequence, and planetary responsibility.
