MushRoom – The Psychedelic Salon

The Psychedelic Salon — Summer Edition
A collaboration between MushRoom, Cabaret Voltaire and Susanne Seiler

The summer edition of the Psychedelic Salon follows the branching connections surrounding a Central American mushroom stone on display at the Museum Rietberg. This sculpture holds central significance for the history of psychedelic research as well as for the colonization of indigenous knowledge and the ongoing transformation of ritual practices related to «sacred» mushrooms. 

Join us for a long summer evening of cross-cultural perspectives, artistic explorations, and communal gathering.
