Biomaterials Workshop: Resonant Futures, with Sun Forest

March 14, 2026

Biomaterials Workshop with Sun Forest
Saturday, March 14th, 1-3pm
In-person, Eastern Edge Studio, 72 Harbour Drive

An introductory workshop engaging with biomaterials as a fluid, complex space of radical possibility. Learn fundamentals of making DIY bioplastics as we collectively engage with this open-source technology and discuss ideas relating to collective knowledge sharing, material transformations, and more-than-human relations.

Biomaterials technology is still a relatively new formulation. This workshop reflects the artist’s research practice which seeks to reorganise the trajectory of biomaterials, to untether it from consumer production and recognize its potential as a living network of organisms that propagates change and can confront the complex dynamics of environmental sustainability. The aim of this workshop is to move through questions and hands-on making non-linearly, to expand our understanding of social and ecological precarity, and amplify the conditions of marginalized lived experience.

Sun’s residency at Eastern Edge expands as sculpture, organism, and somatic gesture to recast the traditional Korean ssukaechima into speculative cloaking devices. Crafted from living biomaterials (i.e., mycelial lattices, algae cultures), matter that metabolizes, blooms, and decays, her sculptures will develop as a kind of camouflage: shelter, refusal, and strategy of survival. Activated through somatic performance, the work will propose that the body remembers resistance transgenerationally, through breath, gesture, withdrawal, and care, carrying forward the histories of those who remained ungovernable not through spectacle but through subtle evasion. In this framework, symbiosis between the changing composition of the biomaterial cloaks will create more-than-human kinships that propose futures outside extractive relations. The documented performances activating the cloaking devices in public spaces attempt to resist hypervisibility not in order to conquer, but to heal, to rest, to remain multiple and irreducible.
