Our Future of Being Human?

We’ll be in the Atrium, which is just inside the entrance to Wellcome Collection on level 0.

Ground floor Atrium

Just turn up to this event. It's likely to have room for everyone. 

Drop in

Come and see this new installation, inspired by climate change and the ‘Being Human‘ gallery. The installation is the result of a climate-change project by the RawMinds Ambassadors, who advise us on events for young people. The Ambassadors wanted to create a record of their exploration of the gallery.

“When we explored the new ‘Being Human’ gallery upstairs, we wanted to think about what that means for us, now and in the future. We were awakened by the theme of climate breakdown, so we worked with artists to create this film and artwork.”

The installation consists of a film by James Skerritt and an artwork by Frankie Strand, in collaboration with the RawMinds Ambassadors.

The film is a behind-the-scenes exploration of three key objects from the gallery:

'The World Under Pressure' by Batoul S’Himi

Wellcome Collection RawMinds is a programme for young people aged 14 to 19. 

Take a look at this playlist of three video interviews by the RawMinds ambassadors with artists whose work is on display in 'Being Human'.

Come and see the new installation in our Atrium, inspired by climate change and the ‘Being Human’ gallery.
