This evening, author Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez and Valiz present the book Let's Become Fungal! Mycelium Teachings and the Arts. The book takes its inspiration from the world of art and mycology and shares innovative practices from Latin America and the Caribbean that are rooted in behaviours of the mycelium, such as: symbiosis, multispecies collaboration, decentralisation and non-monetary resource exchange. Let's Become Fungal! is more than a book; it presents a way of thinking that can be activated in communities, networks, movements and organisations. After a short introduction, we will screen the short video 'trailer' for the book. In this video some excerpts from the interviews which Yasmine conducted are featured. The sharing and exchange of knowledge during these interviews lead to 12 Fungi teachings, presented in the book. Later on, Yasmine will read excerpts from the book, and guide the audience in a Mycelial Mediation; a collective meditation exercise in which awareness is drawn to the surroundings and the collective presence. Later on there is ample time for Q&A with the author as well as the possibility to further connect and exchange over drinks.
