Join theatre maker and mushroom enthusiast Nina Scott in an interactive introduction to why mushrooms are just so queer!

Learn the basics of queer theory and mycology simultaneously and discuss how fungi can help us question normative society and challenge queerphobia.

Fungi challenge our presumptions, they trouble categories and encourage a deconstruction and reconstruction of the world as we know it. They are radical in the sense they blur colonial, patriarchal and bodily borders and make us rethink the concept of the individual.

Nina Scott is an Artist in Residence at St. Margaret’s House alongside Dan de la Motte. With a crew of queer mycologists and artists they are making ‘Be More Mushroom’, a raucous, educational play for young people which explores what we can learn from mushrooms about identity, society and power. This workshop celebrates the political and scientific underpinnings of this exciting project. Funded by Arts Council England.
