    Fungi continually transform the materiality of the world around us, building a vast network of relationships with various living organisms. Its existence is deeply intertwined with the presence of trees, bacteria, animals, and substances, being the web that connects living organisms of all ecosystems.

    Fungi Cosmology is a transdisciplinary research project by a group of artists, scientists, curators and anthropologists. The idea is to develop new knowledge and languages from the observation and analysis of the symbiotic relationships of fungi. The residency will be a three years project, held in the Amazon Patagonia and Switzerland and is dedicated to promote the importance of the fungi kingdom and its relevance for the future of the planet.
