Es Devlin’s practice ranges from outside public sculptures and installations at Tate Modern, Trafalgar Square, and Lincoln Centre, and inside the V&A, Serpentine, Imperial War Museum and Somerset House, to kinetic stage designs at the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan Opera and the National Theatre, as well as Olympic Ceremonies, Super Bowl halftime shows, and monumental stage sculptures for stadium concerts. She has a major solo exhibition at Casa Bradesco, São Paulo, with further exhibitions opening in 2026 at London’s Design Museum and Powerhouse Parramatta. In 2020, she became the first female architect of the UK Pavilion at a World Expo, conceiving a building which used AI to co-author poetry with visitors on its facade. She is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Music and the Royal Society of Arts, Visiting Professor of Contemporary Theatre, and Bloomberg Fellow at the University of Oxford.
