Fungi\u2014microscopic yet extraordinarily resilient forms of life\u2014thread themselves through all things. For billions of years, they have weathered rocks, decomposed waste, and continuously transformed and reshaped the conditions of life itself. In May 2025, OPEN-class initiated its annual public practice program on art and natural history under the theme All Creatures Great and Small.<br \/>\nUrbanization often resembles a vast mechanism of biological &#8220;selection&#8221;, through which humans assert dominance over every inch of urban space, prioritizing their own survival and ways of living. Yet how might cities appear from the perspectives of plants, animals, and other forms of life? In what ways are our lives entangled with theirs? What kind of city could truly sustain multispecies coexistence? And might it be possible for us\u2014as part of a larger multispecies collective\u2014to move toward plural futures and co-create diverse worlds together?<br \/>\nWith these questions in mind, we are relaunching the Community Curator Program. Through this new cycle of public practice, we hope to bring together members of the public, artists, and researchers in ecology, natural history, and anthropology to participate in collective learning, field investigation, and action-based initiatives. Together, we seek to reflect, discuss, and respond to these questions through situated and tangible practices, while exploring how collaborations between art and science may inspire new forms of collective action.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[1],"event_category":[82,64],"class_list":["post-7016","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","category-a4-art-museum","event_category-open-class","event_category-community-activity"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/7016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7016"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.a4artmuseum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=7016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
