Learning Collaboration with Fungi – A Guided Walk

Drawing from the transformative potential of art practice and ecofeminist decolonising pedagogy, the guided walk Learning Collaboration with Fungi (co-designed by Lenka Vráblíková and Elspeth Mitchell) cultivates skills critical for fostering social and environmental justice. In addition to learning about the incredibly diverse biology and ecology of fungi, its aim is to facilitate unlearning of harmful habits such as anthropocentrism, extractivism, competitiveness, and accumulation-driven individualism and, instead, re-learn collaboration, care, reciprocal sharing, and compassion. The walk will be 2 hours long and will accommodate 20 participants (online booking together with information on accessibility will be available in advance). The walk will take place on the Goldsmiths campus.
