The Art & Fungi Project is a series of artistic projects led by Willoughby Arévalo and Isabelle Kirouac. These projects provide sensory and playful experiences in relation to fungi and how they shape and connect our world, growing the interconnections between communities, the land, and its more than human inhabitants.

Willoughby Arévalo: With the hands of an artist, the eyes of a mycologist and the heart of a deeply connected human, DIY Mushroom Cultivation author Willoughby Arévalo brings the practical and the joyful together through the science and wonder of mycology. His work is an invitation; to not only learn from fungi, but to grow one’s true earthly relationships. His lifelong friendship with fungi has led him down a mycelial pathway. For over 15 years, he has shared mycology with communities across North America and Europe.

Isabelle Kirouac: Isabelle explores the poetics of the senses and more-than-human relationships through choreography, immersive experiences and community-engaged work. She has shared her practice across four continents. Isabelle holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from the School for Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, on the Coast Salish Territories, where she currently lives.
