Mapping Change through the Mushroom Imagination: A Conversation with Mar Gómez Glez

Join us for an event featuring Mar Gómez Glez—novelist, playwright, essayist, and regular contributor to "El País", one of Spain’s leading newspapers. Professor Patricia López-Gay will be in dialogue with Gómez Glez. Drawing from her writing, where the motif of the mushroom becomes a vehicle to imagine metamorphosis, resilience, and interconnection, we will explore storytelling through literature and the arts as a means to reshape how we relate to each other and to our environment.

This dialogue is part of the "A Cartography for the Future" online speaking series, which engages with creative and critical practices that respond to the prevailing sense that we are witnessing the end of the world (as we know it). From ecological collapse and pandemics to war and the breakdown of analog life, we ask how storytelling can move us beyond catastrophe, offering new imaginaries of feeling and forms of connection, survival, and renewal.

Conducted in Spanish. Organized by Professor López-Gay. Co-sponsored by Spanish Studies and Experimental Humanities. Open to the Bard Spanish-speaking community.
