Join us for an afternoon of radical ecology, queer kinship, and mycological magic as we celebrate Pride Month with Dr. Patricia Kaishian, Curator of Mycology at the New York State Museum, in a reading from her groundbreaking new book, Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature.

With humor, tenderness, and scientific exploration, Dr. Kaishian reveals how nature's so-called “outcasts” can teach us about resilience, transformation, and belonging. Whether you're a nature lover, a fungi fanatic, or just curious about the beautiful strangeness of life, this is an invitation to rewild your worldview.
