The Art of Inter-Species Collaborations

About

Fungus Loci, Stroud’s one and only urban mushroom farm, will host an exhibition and events programme to explore the art of inter-species collaboration: humans and microbiology working together to produce food, drink and other artefacts. The temporary museum will include a wide range of produce from the world of brewing, fermentation and culturing. It will contain many well-known culinary items such as sour dough bread, beer, wine, vinegar, cheese, yoghurt and chocolate as well as less familiar cultured foods and drink from around the world like Tempeh, Kafir, Kombucha tea, Kimchee. The Bio-Domestic Workshops will be a series of hands on DIY workshops, demonstrations and talks that explore the skills and techniques needed to work with wild and cultivated yeasts, bacteria and microbes in the home.
