Plunge your hands into sourdough in this interactive encounter, get up close and personal with flour, water and trillions of bacteria whilst listening to a guided meditation.
Leave with your own jar of sourdough mother and instructions on how to care for it and make your own bread at home.
MUSH is a participatory sensorial installation; a fun, gooey, deep listening experience, inviting you to consider: how would it feel to be one of 40-trillion microorganisms inside a human being’s microbiome? Embark on an audio journey, move your hands through the MUSH and experience a sensorial improvisation like no other.
MUSH is part of The Bakery of Slow Ideas.
The experience lasts approximately 25 minutes.
Free, booking recommended (drop in slots will be available)
This event is part of Take Over 2022.
