Liam Young is an artist, director, and BAFTA-nominated producer who creates imaginary worlds as a way of thinking through the futures we fear, desire, and are already making. His visionary films and speculative landscapes act as rehearsals for the world to come, where fiction becomes a tool for navigating the environmental urgencies of the present. Described by the BBC as ‘the man designing our futures’, Young extends this worldbuilding practice across the film, television, and video games industries.

His films have premiered on platforms including Channel 4, the Tribeca Festival, the Venice Biennale, and the BBC. His films, designs, and costumes have been collected internationally by museums such as the MoMA, New York; the Smithsonian, Washington; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; and M+, Hong Kong.
