There is a growing interest in fungi and mycelium as a material, the ever-branching connecting threads of the fungal world. The entanglements and how this rhizomatic network functions is not just a fascinating ecological system and material, but carries a profound usefulness as a metaphor for our potential new systems, ways of thinking and behaviors. ‘Let’s Become Fungal!’,based on conversations with, a.o. indigenous wisdom keepers, artists and mycologists, takes its inspiration from the world of art and mycology and shares innovative practices from Latin America and the Caribbean that are rooted in multispecies collaboration, non-monetary resource exchange, decentralization etc, all in line with the behavior of the mycelium. Ostendorf-Rodríguez works as curator and researcher on art and ecology for, a.o. the Green Art Lab Alliance at the Jan van Eyck Academy’s Food Lab and Future Materials Bank.
