The Mushroom Speaks

What does it mean to think radically through networks, through mycelium, through enmeshed and attuned connectivity with the more-than-human world? What can we learn from mushrooms’ resilience and adaptability, and their worldmaking power even amidst devastation? Narrated by a silent mushroom, this wondrous documentary in conversation with scientists, mycologists, foragers and mushroom lovers is an optimistic experiment in relating to each other and the world around us differently – and finding hope and possibility even in the ruins.


BEYOND THE SCREEN:
Join us in conversation after the film to explore what fungi can teach us about being in the world: in solidarity, adaptability, and ways of imagining otherwise. The introduction and post-screening conversation will have BSL interpretation.
