Free
RSVP in Advance
Robin Gunkel in Dialogue with Mandy Morrison
In dialogue with the exhibit Journey of the Invader Spirit Robin Gunkel, PhD, will give a talk on her community project, the Rhizae Renewal Collective. Rhizae Renewal is working to phytoremediate a lead contaminated lot in Johnston Square / Greenmount West. This involves using living plants such as fungi and sunflowers to clean the polluted soil. It is a demonstration of how community involvement in the flowering of abandoned space can generate uplift and healthier spaces for all.
Since 2013 Gunkel has been the creator and director of Mushroom City Art Festival, a free, all ages, yearly, educational festival held at Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park. Gunkel holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Prescott College in Prescott, AZ.
