Centring around the theme of Nature and Ecologies, the third Artistic Directors Academy (ADA) Masterclass will happen from 27 September–5 October, with a free Public Lecture on 2 October.

Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez is the founder and director of the Green Art Lab Alliance (established in 2012); a network comprising sixty art organisations across Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia.

For this Public Lecture, Artistic Directors Academy (ADA) Masterclass Specialist Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez, author of the book “Let’s Become Fungal! Mycelium Teachings and the Arts”, will share what she has learned from working on a shiitake farm and how her deep dive into the world of mycology has influenced the workings and language of the various exchange platforms that she has founded and directed.

Following the intuitions of their essayistic approach to art, Per°Form CoThink Lab Fellow Wong Binghao (Bing) will read composited excerpts from research essays that they have written in the past decade. This material will sediment into its primary object: 5G Bing, an Internet grimoire that compiles wayward and extravagant ideas, writing, aesthetics, and cultural criticism, edited and creative directed by Bing.
