Swissnex in Brazil and Labverde invite you to a sensory and immersive dinner to discuss food issues and their relationship with our body and the Amazon ecosystem. It will be a gastronomic experience, signed by chef Murilo Selva and artist Jorgge Menna Barreto, with unconventional and organic foods to celebrate the Fungi Cosmology project.
After ten days in the region of Manaus for field research, the Fungi Cosmology project team changes the scenery and moves from the Amazônia to the Selva de Pedra (São Paulo). Fungi continuously transform the materiality of our world and build a wide network of relationships, of life and death, with a diversity of organisms in a chain, being the web that sustains each ecosystem.
The evening will give you a glimpse of what has been observed during the Amazon field trip:
This program is a co-creation between Labverde (Amazon) and Casa-Museu Alberto Baeriswyl (Patagonia). It was shaped together with FoodCulture days and the Artists in Labs program at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), in collaboration with by Pro-Helvetia and Swissnex in Brazil, and has a partnership with The National Institute of Aonian Research (INPA), Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and Magallanes University.
To delve deeper into this fungi theme and what we can learn from them, the Fungi Cosmology project gathered scientists, artists, and curators from Brazil, Chile, and Switzerland to collect and present information on this topic. Click on the link to meet the participants!
