Mudiad Mycelium Movement 

Humans and mycelium have many similarities....they are all feeling, sensing, intuitive, nourishing, interconnected to everything around them constantly communicating. Both require water, darkness light, food to survive, but in many built up areas, we lose some of this amazing sensuality. Removed by noise, talking rather than sensing, not feeling into each other, not giving what's needed to nourish our surroundings, not being sensitive to our environment and how we are impacting it or being impacted.

We will explore those polarities and re-introduce these aspects to humanity. Radiating in all directions, seeking connections and creating symbiotic exchanges, in the space between people and other living things.

Mae tebygrwydd rhwng pobl a myceliwm ... maent i gyd yn teimlo, yn synhwyro, yn reddfol, yn faethlon, yn rhyng-gysylltiedig â phopeth o'u cwmpas ac yn cyfathrebu'n gyson. Mae'r ddau angen dŵr, golau, tywyllwch a bwyd i fyw, ond mewn llawer o ardaloedd trefol, rydym yn colli rhywfaint o'r cnawdolrwydd rhyfeddol hwn. Cael ein symud gan sŵn, siarad yn hytrach na synhwyro, peidio â theimlo ein gilydd, peidio â rhoi'r hyn sy’n angenrheidiol i feithrin ein hamgylchedd, peidio â bod yn sensitif i'n hamgylchedd a sut rydym yn effeithio arno neu'n cael ein heffeithio ganddo.

Byddwn yn archwilio'r polareddau hynny ac yn ailgyflwyno'r agweddau hyn i bobl. Gan fynd i bob cyfeiriad, chwilio am gysylltiadau a chreu cyfnewidiadau symbiotig, yn y gofod rhwng pobl a phethau byw eraill.

Oriel Mudiad Mycelium Movement Gallery

 

The Mudiad Mycelium (Mycelium Movement) formed a central strand of the Utopias Bach, designed as an embodied workshop series exploring the forms, functions, and interconnectedness of mycelium through movement and sound. Drawing on ecological metaphors of communication, exchange, and nourishment, the workshops invited participants to sense and enact the intra- and inter-connected dynamics of fungal networks, cultivating an experiential understanding of symbiotic relations within the more-than-human world.

By framing the act of becoming mycelium as a radical mode of being, the project sought to invite new ways of imagining relationality, interdependence, and ecological attunement. The workshops functioned not only as creative explorations but as provocations toward reimagining human–more-than-human relationships, aligning with Utopias Bach’s broader aim of cultivating interconnected, future-oriented ecological imaginaries…
