The recent warm weather has spurted the growth of our SCOBY and we have lots of babies to give away. For those who love the vibrant intersection of art and science, the SCOBYologist challenge beckons!
We’re intrigued to find out more about the way SCOBYs can be used artistically. We’d love you to take part in the experiment, by taking a SCOBY home, nourishing it with memories and tea, then using it – or its water – in your art or craft, or even a living SCOBY-world…
The Gloucestershire SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) is a one-of-a-kind, living art installation. In the autumn, contemporary textile artist Monica C. LoCascio will hold a performative harvesting. The repetitive, dirty and smelly nature of SCOBY harvesting will reflect, in real terms, the working conditions of the historic textile industry.
A unique, living and growing art installation by Hundred Heroines will weave Gloucestershire’s textile history with the story of its forgotten workers.
