Love Your Mother Earth Mushroom Party at Museum of the Moving Image
2025-05-10 12:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Museum of the Moving Image, 36-01 35 Ave, Astoria, NY, 11106
Join MoMI, the New York Mycological Society, and more special guests on Mother’s Day weekend to celebrate Mother Earth and observe the third kingdom of life: fungi.
The New York Mycological Society (NYMS), a volunteer-run organization founded by experimental composer John Cage in 1962, will lead a walk around MoMI’s neighborhood exploring the mushrooms, lichen, and mycelium in our everyday landscape that we may not have noticed. Everyone with an interest in the living environment, regardless of their level of knowledge of fungi, is invited. Space is limited, RSVP for the mycological walk.
Next, visual artist Caro Arévalo will help visitors document their finds with botanical illustrations. All skill levels are welcome, and drawing supplies will be provided.
Then, software engineer and community biologist Sally Kong gives a presentation on fungal microscopy—the beautiful world of mushroom’s interior structures and microscopic elements. RSVP for the microscopy talk.
MoMI then presents the not-to-be-missed New York City premiere of Fungi: Web of Life featuring noted mycologist Merlin Sheldrake and narrated by Björk. Space is limited, RSVP for the screening.
Schedule of activities:
12:00 p.m.: Meet for the mycological walk in the MoMI Lobby
12:30–1:30 p.m.: NYMS neighborhood mycological walk from MoMI
1:30-2:30 p.m.: NYMS ID session
2:30-3:15 p.m.: Fungi: Web of Life screening
3:00-4:30 p.m.: Guided mushroom drawing with botanical illustrator Caro Arévalo (drop-in)

Special guests:

From her Amazonian heritage, Caro embraces the interconnectedness of all beings, the significance of rituals and ancestral wisdom in deepening our connection with nature, inviting us to cultivate more love towards ourselves and our planet. @caro.arevalo
