On January 18th, the sun reaches the horizon at 17:01. Before, through, and after sunset, join us for practices of embodied reading. We will nibble through books for an hour of zine making practice (see research month selection of books here). We will play with scores connecting human and fungal ways of being during the workshop ‘Mycoscores / Choreospores’. At sunset, with herbal tea and snacks, we will inaugurate a reading corner in the garden with an outdoor book house. Enveloped by darkness, we will read with snakes and earthworms developing a tactile gaze.
