FUNGI: Anarchist Designers
In this exhibition, fungi are for once not at the service of humans, but independent beings with their own agenda, one that is closely intertwined with colonialism and other forms of capitalist exploitation, but which also brings to life a highly distinctive multi-species world. Curated by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing and Feifei Zhou (design studio terriStories).
