Come join artists Juan Ferrer and Natalia Cabrera in this walk inside Cubbon Park! They will be looking for and talking about lichens – symbiotic microorganisms that are ecosystems themselves. By engaging with more-than-human co-operative practices, the invitation is to imagine and design symbiotic creatures that are made up from more than one species.

This event is an extended programming of the Spatial Affairs residency.
