Wood wide web meditation

Barbican Centre
London
2023

As part of SUPERORGANISM, Maymana was invited by ODO Collective to reimagine the Barbican as a site of cohabitation, symbiosis, and climate resilience.

Maymana designed an immersive, otherworldly soundscape: field recordings of rain, birdsong, forest and mud. Whist reading a piece of original poetry reflecting on the ‘wood wide’ web, collective care and mutual aid, the artist invited participants to think like mycelium. Through painting and guided mindfulness, the session opened up a space of creativity and gratitude for the networks beneath the forest floor.
