Lenka Vráblíková – Between Fungus and Rock: Metabolic Imagination

Between Fungus and Rock is an imaginative activity that draws
on metabolic processes, particularly the eating habits of fungi.
The aim is to cultivate the ability to experience and
understand beyond the harmful logic of binary opposites such as
human and non-human, living and non-living, mine and foreign,
subject and object. The activity is designed for individuals and groups and can be done anywhere—in a classroom, at the kitchen table, in the woods, park, or a garden.
