About this Event
The living world is stitched together by a diversity of beings whose rich and complex interactions define its everyday drama. Humans—despite their disproportionate capacity to modify the living world—comprise only a small part of this vast web of relations. Yet, anthropocentrism has been a hallmark of much of academia, legal practice, and culture for decades.
That, however, is changing. Practitioners and scholars from a wide range of disciplines—from law and philosophy to anthropology to design and well beyond—are pursuing efforts to bring the more-than-human world into the ambit of moral, legal, and social concern.
The More-Than-Human Life (MOTH) Festival of Ideas is dedicated to exploring this rich and rapidly evolving field. Unfolding over three days—from May 14th to 16th, 2026—in London, the MOTH Festival of Ideas will feature leading thinkers and doers working to advance the rights, interests, and well-being of nonhumans, humans, and the web of life that sustains us all.
The Festival will include a concert by musician and field recordist Cosmo Sheldrake.
The Festival is organized by the NYU MOTH Program.
