Microbial Futures Lab is a traveling laboratory, an ever-expanding collection of future medicines, treatments, rituals, and narratives that reflect on the well-being of human life forms and beyond. All bodies are interconnected microbial ecosystems, living, breathing habitats of tiny organisms: city bodies, water bodies, air, soil, and our own human bodies are inseparable.
During the residency at BASE, Eva investigates the extended body of the city of Milan. The Future Medicine workshop also invites citizens, artists, architects, urban planners and horticulturists to think and hypothesize together about the present and future of the city and to design new rituals and medicines for the different forms of life that inhabit it and for their mutual well-being.
Eva Bubla is a Hungarian artist and activist. Her works express current ecological concerns and are strongly related to the specific environment. She enjoys working together with citizens, communities and other local sectors. On the border between art and science, her projects aim to map, perceive, interpret, and then (re)connect the public to the local ecosystem, offering new perspectives and future imaginations
