What might a liveable future shaped by the growing influence of women look like? The artist group MYCELIAart is developing a poetic cartography on this theme: Eight female artists from Germany and Latvia weave their voices together to create a spacious multimedia installation. Painting, drawing, photography, film, performance and sound come together to form a shared image of city and countryside, proximity and distance, abundance and emptiness, individuality and community – a poetic, surreal cosmos full of contrasts and connections.
Since 2020, the mycelium – an invisible, underground network – has served as a metaphor for this collaboration: solidarity instead of competition, diversity, change and transcending boundaries.
Eight MailArt projects were initiated in the run-up to the exhibition.
They are a vivid illustration of artistic collaboration across borders and different artistic approaches. The results are part of the exhibition.
Workshops, guided tours in simple language and artist talks invite visitors to think further about the themes and get involved.

Collaboration with Women Artists
The concept Mycelia is a cooperative reflection on current issues of female artistic success.
“Artistic success depends on a healthy network. But what does this network look like in a society that puts competition over solidarity? What does artistic success require? What does a healthy artistic ecosystem need? The exhibition Mycelia is a joint reflection on success, ecosystem, networking and detoxification.
Based on thoughts about biological ecosystems, artists from Munich and Riga explore them in micro-cooperations. The fungus mycelium serves as a model for thought and describes thread-like cells of a fungus. They grow invisibly in the culture medium and combine underground over square kilometres to form a huge biological mass. In this network, mycelia also provide a healthy ecosystem for outside organisms.“
