This talk by Angel Schatz (@forage.atx) is about mushrooms in art. It focuses on the "war on drugs" at the start of colonialism, into the '60s and '70s, and into the modern use in contemporary art, movies, video games, and more. You will see how the spiritual was replaced with the material and the collective consciousness was replaced with individualism and art as a commodity grew out of this paradigm. This event was a part of our on going lecture series, if you appreciate the content, we hope that you can support our mission by donating or becoming a CTMS member at centraltexasmycology.org.
