fungi cosmology

Fungi Cosmology is a 3-year  international Art & Science research project bringing together artists, scientists, curators and anthropologists around the topic of fungi.

The aim of the project is to enable challenging collaboration and foster interdisciplinary innovation, develop new knowledge, languages and methods of research from the observation and analysis of the symbiotic relationships of fungi.  Mixing the disciplines of visual arts, mycology, anthropology and linguistics, transdisciplinarity is the main focus and starting point of this three-year exchange. 

The project is a collaboration between LABverde in Brazil, CAB in Chile, artists-in-labs program and foodculture daysin Switzerland. Together they have selected a group of artists and scientists from each of their regions that went on 3 research trips together. These three trips were being held in the Amazon (Spring 2023), in Patagonia (Spring 2024) and lastly in the Swiss Alps (Autumn 2024), where the participants did field research on the local fungi kingdom.
