Workshop Homo Photosyntheticus @ Antre-Peaux

Algae and cyanobacteria play a major role in the balance of the biosphere. Through their project, Ewen and Maya wish to focus on the fears and dangers they convey, but also on the transformations that need to be implemented in order to shift this fear towards a more positive perception of this verdant world.
The workshop will involve meetings and discussions with the artists about global warming and algal blooms, observation of algae collected in the city’s waterways, an introduction to spirulina cultivation, and the collection of recipes and tastings to help us understand these transitions in a creative, sensitive and gustatory way.

Workshop Homo Photosyntheticus @ Funlab

Funlab invites artist-researchers Ewen Chardronnet and Maya Minder.
This year, in long-term residency at L’Antre-Peaux in Bourges, they propose an investigation into algae and cyanobacteria, exploring their role in the food and ecological transition.
