Symbiosis Skill-Share Project

The Symbiosis Project began in February 2025 to foster collaboration between artists and scientists at the intersections of their research questions across mediums and disciplines. After our first meeting, it became clear that many of us were there to better understand the various ways we each view the world and the tools we use to explore the questions we ask about it.

Symbiosis has since evolved into a skill-share group. We host mini-workshops that facilitate research connections through hands-on demonstrations (a must for us tactile learners). Hosts teach participants how to use their familiar instruments —from microscopes to printing presses, clay, and digital fabrication. These skill-shares offer opportunities to explore new ways of approaching observation for participants and new perspectives on familiar tools for the skill-sharer.
