PROJECT CATEGORY – VISUAL ARTS
"Symbiotic Culture" is an interdisciplinary exhibition that combines art, science and ecology, exploring the phenomenon of fermentation and the life processes hidden in the culture of kombucha. The exhibition invites the viewer to immerse themselves in a world where the boundaries between living organisms and everyday objects are blurred, and matter becomes a witness to transformations and coexistence.
Kombucha, known for its unique fermentation properties, is a starting point for artists who reinterpret its dynamic, changing structure. The exhibition shows how natural biological processes can inspire the creation of works of art that are not only visually stunning, but also provoke reflection on the condition of the modern world. Artistic interpretations of kombucha become a metaphor for life, impermanence and constant transformation, and at the same time a symbol of symbiosis between humans and the microcosm.
"Symbiotic Culture" encourages reflection on the coexistence and mutual influence of people and the microcosm of which we are a part. The exhibition combines nature and technology, art and science, opening up space for new interpretations of matter and life.

As part of the "Symbiotic Culture" event, we also invite you to participate in the KOMBU-TOJI workshops!
The aim of the workshops is to create a notebook using the Japanese fukuro-toji technique with a cover made of a SCOBY mushroom created during the process of creating kombucha. During the workshops, participants will learn the basics of bookbinding in the fukuro-toji technique and how to use natural materials to create functional objects.
