POD / Post-Anthropocentric Design was a public exhibition curated in 2022 as part of UN World Oceans Day, produced by the Royal College of Art (RCA) in collaboration with the British Academy, and open from 8–30 June 2022 in London. The exhibition presented experimental, game-based design research artefacts, responding to an extended playable brief exploring post-anthropocentric and more-than-human approaches to design. The exhibition centred on a speculative, participatory framework in which participants engaged with climate-change scenarios from the perspectives of nonhuman species within marine and estuarine ecosystems, particularly those connected to the Thames River Valley. Through artefacts, visual materials, narrative structures, and documentation of gameplay, the exhibition translated a live systems-play methodology into a public-facing format, enabling audiences to encounter ecological complexity, interdependence, and uncertainty in accessible, experiential ways. Curatorial work involved shaping how research-led pedagogical experiments could be communicated beyond the classroom, foregrounding design as a tool for sense-making, ethical reflection, and collective imagination rather than solutionism. Positioned within UN World Oceans Day programming, the exhibition linked design education, public engagement, and environmental discourse, demonstrating how post-anthropocentric design practices can contribute to new forms of climate literacy, resilience thinking, and shared understanding of oceanic and planetary systems.
