Be one of the first to explore (un)common threads, a participatory installation that uncovers the beauty of microscopic mycorrhizal fungi and celebrates the vital ecological role fungi play in connecting forests and fighting climate change as part of The Fungi Festival series of events.
This is a relaxed, drop-in event so you can turn up anytime between 6-9pm, see the exhibition and chat to the team behind the project; artist Poppy Flint, creative technologist Benji Bailes and the folks from Fat Fox Mushrooms.
You will be invited to make your mark on an evolving art work inspired by invisible relationships in both the natural world and in the human sense of connection to place.
The ticket price includes a free drink with mushroom tincture produced by Fat Fox Mushrooms!
