Collective Earth Stories @ The Barbican
We developed the visual identity and exhibition design for Collective Earth Stories, a participatory installation exploring the deep connection between people and the land.
Working closely across disciplines, we brought together scientific research and cultural narratives to create a cohesive, immersive experience. The installation invited people from around the world to contribute soil samples, later analysed by CABI, a lab focused on soil conservation, transforming data into a living archive of environmental and human resilience. From branding to spatial storytelling, we shaped a design system that reflected the project’s ethos: grounded, inclusive, and hopeful. Over 200 samples from 35 countries were gathered, each one a quiet testimony to communities navigating climate change
