About fungi and being in the dark

  • UK: Filament Works CIC
  • Thailand: CAC Chiang Mai Art Conversation

A collaborative exchange and creation project between artists inspired by cave fungi in English Riviera (UK) and Satun (Thailand) UNESCO Global Geoparks. Creative exchange processes will uncover the rhizomatic, ecological and cultural threads that connect us. The project will culminate in sound and generative art, sculptural installation, immersive performance works for public audiences, in cultural venues and cave spaces. A digital concept album and online lab space will also share work. Our collaboration includes Filament Works, Chiang Mai Art Conversation, NooN cross-disciplinary collective, Arnont Nonygao, Art Residency Thailand and UNESCO Global Geopark partners.
