The FunGals
a Living and Breathing Mycelial Art Exhibit
Embodied Art
The FunGals are a unique roving character performance that brings mushrooms to life through intricate masks crafted to represent various mushroom species. Drawing inspiration from traditional mask-making practices intended to honor ancestors and spirits, this performance allows the rovers to transform into their chosen fungi, cloaked in masks that obscure their human identities and fully embrace the essence of mushrooms.

About The Artist
As a trained mycologist and ethnobotanist, I have always been drawn to the ways ancient society has interacted with fungi, ancestry and psychedelic sacraments. This project was birthed from my love for our fungal ancestors and my curiosity of mask-making ceremony. This started as a curious idea and turned into a passion project that I love sharing with the world.
