About this event

Huan Chen transforms native fungi and lichen into a powerful metaphor for the immigrant experience, telling stories of heritage, struggle, adaptation and new beginnings. Through striking imagery, the work also reflects on human impact on natural habitats and the cultural shifts shaping urban life. Don’t miss this thought-provoking installation that connects nature, identity and community in surprising ways.
