Fungi are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for transformation: from the way we move through different notions of time to how we rethink death.

This lecture delves into the question of how we might organise ourselves like a mycelium – the subterranean fungal network. It focuses specifically on mycorrhizal networks that establish symbiotic relationships with other entities to exchange resources.

What might this kind of relationship look like in our daily human lives when we work in collectives or in collaboration with other species? How can we expand them to create more balanced and equitable methodologies and connections within creative communities?

These are some of the questions addressed by researcher and curator Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez throughout this gathering – a journey through the mycelium and its infinite possibilities.

The event is part of the programme of the ‘Institution(ing)s’ project, a consortium of European arts organisations that seeks to create a framework for instituting an emerging social vision, as well as to test and share innovative methodologies applied to art institutions.

This event will be presented in English with simultaneous translation to Portuguese.
