On Friday, 18 September, at 7.00 pm. The meeting point is on the forecourt in front of Delavski dom Trbovlje. We recommend wearing walking shoes, as we will be heading into the woods.

We think of the forest as a laboratory and as a mirror. A space where science meets the logic of observation, where mycorrhizal connections become a language for thinking about community, renewal and regeneration. 

A forest is not merely a collection of trees — it is a network. Beneath our steps spreads a mycorrhizal web through which fungi and roots exchange nutrients, carbon and signals — an underground infrastructure of mutual dependence, in place long before we came up with the word “network”. On a research walk with the Krater collective we will follow these invisible connections and ask what fungi can tell us about Zasavje itself — what portrait of the soil emerges when we read the landscape through its subterranean script. The walk is led by Primož Turnšek, microbiologist and founder of Gobnjak, Katarina Apostolides Grabnar, founder of the Mycological Museum of Slovenia, and Danica Sretenović, architect and co-founder of the Krater collective.
