    如果灾难来临,人们该如何在满目苍夷中自救?该项目基于菌菇善生长特性,去寻找重建栖居之所的方法,并以此为由将人们聚集在一起。通过分享、讨论、重回故地、搭建、烹饪等实践展来末日危机的想象。此项目由4次工作坊组成,每周一次,在为期一个月的活动中将一个空旷的空间慢慢填满。参与者在空间中留下他们的工作痕迹和产生的对话,并把这变成社群能量的聚集场。

    未来栖居之所建立在牡蛎菇的生物特性上,利用它强大的生命力,以及善于生长在在黑暗和恶劣环境里的特点,将其作为末日危机下帮助人们在极端环境中重建生活的伙伴。菌丝强大的穿透能力以及连结能力,可以帮助我们构建一座由菌丝生成的房屋——一座既是庇护所又是农场(可长蘑菇)的“建筑”,由此展开我们对末日危机的想象。

     工作坊以蘑菇作为邀请社区的居民参的话题,参与者们从3岁到40岁不等。在工作坊进行的过程中,居民们从被动接收信息到主动参与创造,热情的贡献自己的故事和材料,并在第三期工作坊中共同完成对栖居之所的搭建。这使得这个项目不再是个人主导的工作,而逐渐变成真正的集体行动,因为每个人都投入其中,包括我。

In the face of disaster, how can people save themselves in the midst of desolation? This project, based on the favorable growth characteristics of mushrooms, seeks methods to reconstruct habitats and gathers people for this purpose. Through practices such as sharing, discussions, revisiting old places, building, and cooking, the project explores imaginative responses to a doomsday crisis. The project consists of four workshops held weekly. In the end, the outcomes of the workshops will fill an exhibition space over the course of a month. Participants leave behind their imprints and engage in dialogues within the space, transforming it into a focal point for community energy. 

The dwelling of the future is built upon the unique biological traits of oyster mushrooms, utilizing their robust vitality and adeptness at flourishing in darkness and challenging conditions. Envisioned as companions for humanity in the reconstruction of lives amidst apocalyptic crises, these mushrooms embody resilience in extreme environments. Leveraging the powerful penetrating and connecting capabilities of mycelium, we can craft a residence woven from fungal threads—a structure that serves as both a shelter and a farm for cultivating mushrooms. This forms the basis for our creative exploration of navigating and adapting to the challenges of an apocalyptic crisis.

The workshop focused on mushrooms as a topic to engage residents from the local community, with participants ranging from 3 to 40 years old. Throughout the workshop, residents shifted from passive information absorption to active involvement, contributing their stories and materials. During the third workshop, they collectively constructed the dwelling place, turning the project from being solely led by the organizer to a genuinely collective and spontaneous initiative, with everyone, myself included, deeply engaged.
