The Mycos Project is a collective of multi-media artists, educators and scientists founded by Kate Stenberg and Irene Sazer. Mycos, short for Mycorrhiza, is the symbiotic association between plant roots and fungi. We adopted this name as a metaphor for how all life is dependent on all other life.
Our mission is to expand climate change awareness through the arts, ecological sciences and Indigenous practice. Through the medium of fine arts, we are inspired to present information and encourage solutions.
