Various fungal cultures live on the skin and in the intestines of humans. What other forms of coexistence do fungi offer? What forms of networking can they teach us? The workshop explores these questions in an artistic way. Using various drawing tools and media aids, the ZAK exhibition space became a studio for co-creation. Fungi and mycelium were analysed microscopically and in terms of their properties.

How does it feel, smell, and look? What associations are connected to it? What is my personal connection to it? At the workshop stations, we spoke about those questions, experimented with drawing tools and mycelium composites. The results were used to create new forms of community artworks. Together with Meeting Lines (Carla Schliephack & Marcos García Pérez), Fotos by Martina della Valle.
