Through studying the world of bacteria, biologist Lynn Margulis proposed her theory that the origin of life is not competition, but symbiosis. Organisms collaborating to survive. The human body as a symbiotic community of bacteria, fungi, and animal cells. Join us for a lively discussion with artists, historians and scientists about how a symbiotic understanding of life could inspire a more caring, collaborative and collective view of the world.
