• Making Sense of Magic Mushrooms

  Exhibition

  24 Nov 2009 to 24 Nov 2009

  For those who have encountered magic mushrooms, the psilocybin experience is like an ancient codex whose glyphs are at once baffling and clear. To make sense of it, each person must perform an act of translation or interpretation by which the strange is rendered familiar. In this talk, Dr. Andy Letcher will encourage to move away from the mushroom experience itself the usual province of trip-lit , to a consideration of how it has been interpreted throughout history.
