ARCHIVE I: DIVERGED ORIGINS

Raíz Symbiotisk is a Minneapolis-based curatorial collective founded by Pamela Vázquez Torres (she/her/hers) and Emma Wood (they/them/hen), recipients of the 2022-2023 Emerging Curators Institute’s Fellowship.

“Archive I: Diverged Origins,” and adjoining public programming throughout the community, revolves around symbolisms extracted from fungi as a concept, or “fungal threads” such as origins, grief, transcendence, symbiosis, community, remediation, and regeneration. The exhibition includes interdisciplinary work by four artists from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The works in the exhibition include linocut prints by Lynda Grafito (Cali, Columbia), and new work, drawings, and sculptures constructed from biological materials by Eli Brown (Boston, Massachusetts, USA). An installation of hanging textiles by Lucero Paniagua Ortuño (Morelos, Mexico) was made with fungal pigments and other natural dyes. Tosca Terán (Toronto, Canada) works with fungi matter and biodata sonification to create dynamic, mixed reality installations.
