Having come together through the Hemispheric Institute’s EmergeNYC program, the artists composing Mycelial Artists Collective (MAC) share the common conviction of using art as a vehicle for social change through personal and collective storytelling. MAC maintains the belief that a collective artistic practice can be borne out of heterogeneity in process and result. MAC also believes that “collective” can be defined as the act of coming together to create conversation through the juxtaposition of different processes and interpretations bound to common concerns, rather than the necessity to make recourse to a singular method or discipline. 

 

Departing from our shared inquiries into archival and documentary-based art practices, explorations of the immigrant experience, usage of translation and scoring as modes of understanding, and questioning of capitalist modes of production, we hope to invite the public to join us in a critical remapping of the spaces we all inhabit.
