7-8pm: Speaker Mario Ceballos – Mycelium is Intersectional
We will explore how Mycelium is Intersectional and how it can effectively communicate with other lifeforms and how the web of reciprocity it weaves can teach humans how to better communicate and show up in solidarity with each other.
Mario Ceballos is a Chicanx from Kumeyaay territory also known as San Diego, CA. Mario is a stay at home parent of three children, and when they aren’t braiding hair or making lunch they are thinking of ways to heal their community. Whether that be by using medicinal Fungi, direct action, smashing the patriarchy, or painting rocks with kids. Mario advocates for all marginalized people and looks to indigenous ways and models for organizing community and cultivating resilience. Growing up in a “border town” , Mario has been forced to navigate two different worlds, with family on both sides of the border, they have first hand experience with the devastating effects of colonization and the re-traumatization of an increasingly militarized border. In an attempt to mitigate appropriation of traditional medicine and to increase access and representation for people of color, Mario created the POC Fungi Community.
