Other informations
What do a handful of soil, the forest, city greens, or some invisible creatures have to do with the health of our human and more-than-human bodies?
Microbial Futures Lab is a traveling laboratory, a constantly expanding collection of future medicines, treatments, rites and narratives reflecting on the well-being of human and more-than-human life forms. All bodies are interconnected microbial ecosystems, living and breathing habitats of tiny organisms: bodies of cities, bodies of waters, air, soil, and our own human bodies are inseparable.
How can we imagine the medicines of the future in a world where the state of our environment and our present relationship with it is compromised? What speculative visions of the future, old-new rites, treatments and medicines can we imagine if we look at the concept of health in a holistic way, if we understand it as the mutual well-being of symbiotically living human and more-than-human life forms?
During HAPU Festival, the Lab’s pop-up pharmacy showcases its collection of medicines and treatments, encapsulated landscapes, microbial drops, and the stories of various irregular patients - cities, rivers, atmospheres. During the Future Medicine workshops the public is also invited to speculate together about the future of Prishtina by designing new rites and medicines for the various life forms that inhabit it.
The project is rooted in the collaboration with the researchers of the Microbial Childhood Collaboratory (MCC) at Tampere University, Finland.
