An artist talk and concept-based activities that explore mushrooms, mycelium, and trans temporality.
What if we could compost the multiple lives within our single lifetime to grow a world? Join sound artist Umi Hsu for an evening of artist talk and concept-based activities that explore mushrooms, mycelium, and trans temporality. Umi Hsu will give a performance lecture introducing their practice that combines oral history, biomaterials, and worldmaking, while playing sounds on a living fungi synthesizer that they built.
Workshop participants will have an opportunity to interact with the fungi synth and engage in speculative oral history group activities prompted by fungal life.
This event and exhibition are made possible by generous support from the Kathryn Caine Wanlass Charitable Foundation.
