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.
