EXHIBITION

Another World Is Possible

Another World Is Possible is an exhibition on the future, exploring the practice of world-building across cinema, architecture, design, and speculative fiction.

The exhibition reflects a distinctly Singaporean approach to the future, one shaped by long-term thinking, environmental pragmatism, and an ethic of collective responsibility. In contrast to the dystopian tone common in Western popular culture, Singapore treats the future as something to be designed, debated, and actively constructed. This sensibility is woven through the exhibition’s architecture, design, and art—from WOHA’s biodiverse vertical cities to Pomeroy Studio’s floating farms.

Showcasing the visionary work of filmmaker and speculative architect Liam Young, alongside regional and international creatives such as Björk, Torlarp Larpjaroensook, Osborne Macharia, Ong Kian Peng, Jakob Kudsk Steensen, Ming Wong, and more, Another World Is Possible proposes alternative ways of living, thinking, and being, and adopts a more hopeful approach to the future.

Another World Is Possible is co-curated by ArtScience Museum and Liam Young. This exhibition is presented in partnership with ACMI, Melbourne, Australia, and is a sequel to the exhibition, The Future and Other Fictions, originally curated and developed by ACMI. Another World Is Possible is part of ArtScience Museum's SG60 season, celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary. It is a key event of Singapore Design Week 2025, and is sponsored by the DesignSingapore Council.
