The program will offer daily video chats with research mycologists from distinguished clubs and laboratories around the world. It will take place over 2 weeks on Zoom. This research residency will offer opportunities to learn from experts, to develop ideas with other artists and to get your hands dirty..

Artists, writers, musicians, film makers and dancers are invited to apply.
