Science Gallery Bengaluru presents CARBON #inthecity! Composed of an interactive pop up exhibition at metro stations, and immersive, free programmes every weekend, the exhibition explores our relationship with carbon in our bodies, our cities, and transit systems.
The curated programmes will nudge participants to look at carbon from various perspectives – as a pigment, an ingredient, a cultural presence, a measuring tool and more. See all details here.
Ana Laura Cantera’s work at CARBON, Territorial Inhalations, is centred around a device created along with mycelia (the networks of fungal threads which grow underground) designed to capture and examine the particulate matter suspended in the air we breathe.
At her workshop, Cantera, proposes to make objects from sustainable biomaterials as a way of reducing our carbon footprint as well as creating new materials. In creating these objects, participants can track through the weeks and months of CARBON, the changes in the mycelia and the responses it displays while absorbing particulate matter.
