BioColours 2024 Conference

Presentation panel about Biocolourant Authenticity, Palettes and Potential.

I will be in Helsinki, Finland at the BioColours 2024 conference on June 4 presenting with an esteemed panel of presenters about my project The Mushroom Color Atlas: Dyes and Pigments Made from Fungi. It is a living study of colors derived from the pigments of fungi. The colors presented in it are only a small slice of the countless hues that can be produced in collaboration with mushrooms. In an era when we are increasingly reliant on technology and corporate consumer goods, creating colorants from mushrooms feels like a radical act. Working hands-on with the fruits of the natural world is an opportunity to reorient ourselves toward biodegradable, renewable, ecologically sensitive sources and sustainable practices.
