How can we learn from mushrooms? Join Field Workhop Artist-in-Residence gloria galvez for a public program with mycologist William Padilla-Brown. They will discuss how mushrooms (and fungi) can be explored as a medium for stories, awe, community, futurity, and justice. The multifaceted being of mushrooms deserves a close and mindful look to reveal a vibrant organic force in the world. In acknowledgement of this force, gloria and William will address mushrooms as actants that mingle in, amplify, and even contradict the narrative of the world we live in.
