MAE-LING LOKKO AT HOUSING THE HUMAN FESTIVAL / BERLIN.

Associate Professor Mae-ling Lokko will be participating in the Housing The Human Festival to be held in Berlin from October 18th to 19th, 2019.

“Housing the Human will unveil the results of five selected projects that tackle questions on how will we live in the near future. The collaboration brings together art, science, and technological innovation to explore speculative concepts for the future of living and coexistence. ” Among those five, projects Mae-ling Lokko will present Agrocologies a research project “that suggests sharing our kitchens with mycelium cultures, and feeding them with our food waste. The resulting bio-material can be used to create new objects. And as we’d share our homes with robots, biomes, and other species.”

Housing the Human is a collaboration between Forecast in Berlin; Copenhagen Architecture Festival CAFx; Demanio Marittimo.Km-278 in Senigallia, Italy; Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts/Istanbul Design Biennial; and Z33/House for Contemporary Art in Hasselt, Belgium.
