Book Talk: Fashion, Materiality, Mycology

Interspecies fashion. Fungi and re-enchantment practices, published by Postmedia Books, opens a new perspective on design, showing how the vitality and complexity of the fungal world can inspire alternative materials, processes, and visions in fashion and the sustainability debate. The presentation will be a dialogue between the author and experts from research and industry, exploring the richness that arises from the intersection of different disciplines and collectively rethinking the relationship between human and non-human.
