MUSHROOMS

The more we learn about fungi, the more questions we have. Join us for a talk with Sam Shoemaker, an interdisciplinary artist and mycologist based in Los Angeles. Shoemaker will discuss connective tissue during troubled times, myco-utopias, biomaterials, terrestrial origins, remediation, and more!

Sam Shoemaker (b. 1991) is an interdisciplinary artist and mycologist based in Los Angeles, California. Sam's recent artistic work stems from an ongoing collaboration with rare, native, and medicinal fungi. After receiving his MFA from Yale University in 2020, Sam founded the urban mushroom farm Myco Myco from his underground laboratory in Los Angeles.
