Exploring Queer Fungi with Be More Mushroom

Who’s up for decomposing some oppressive societal norms? Nina has an almost unmatched enthusiasm for mushrooms and a geeky obsession with queer theory – and turns out these things are inextricably linked.

Nature and concepts of the ‘natural’ have long been weaponised against queer people. In this time of rising transphobia let’s celebrate fungi as the non-binary, multiple sexed, category-defying beings they are. Come reclaim nature as queer, and ourselves as part of nature.

Nina is Artistic Director of Be More Mushroom, a multi-faceted project exploring queer ecology through a raucous family musical, queer fungal cabaret and creative workshops for all ages.
